Featuring chicken legs and drumsticks, duck wings, spare ribs, beef and chicken burgers, pork sausages, steak kebabs, tomato ketchup, dijon mustard and white rolls, The Large Organic Barbecue Box will feed a hungry crowd – and then some.

The Dorset Meat Company – The Big Event BBQ Meat Box

Whether you’re after a time-saving barbecue box brimming with garden-party staples or want to handpick a bespoke selection of grass-fed meat for your alfresco cookout, you’ll be able to indulge your whim via The Dorset Meat Company webshop.

For those who favour ease, The Big Event BBQ Meat Box is the obvious choice. Everything included (rump steaks, chicken thighs, pork sausages, beef burgers, pork spare ribs and chicken drumsticks) is sourced from small-scale farms in Wiltshire and Dorset. Local meats are also showcased in the new Pitmaster BBQ Range, which allows firecooks to build their own box of succulent meats such as tomahawk steak, cote de boeuf and cold-smoked short ribs.

The Butchers at Darts Farm – The Ultimate BBQ Selection Box

You won’t even need to pop to the shops to pick up ingredients for the salad or a token tub of slaw if you order The Ultimate BBQ Selection Box from Darts Farm in Devon.

Alongside a cracking selection of meat from the in-house butchery (garlic-butter chicken pieces, Chinese-style pork belly slices, pork sausages, beef steak burgers and a sharing rump steak), it includes everything else you’ll need for a delicious alfresco feast. There’s Ogleshield cheese and Ryder’s Bakery rolls for the ultimate artisan cheeseburgers, plus Shillingford Organics leaves and ripe IOW tomatoes for the side salad.

Devon Meat Box Co – The Great Balls of Fire BBQ Box

Getting The Great Balls of Fire BBQ Box delivered to your door means there’ll be a little less conversation with the other-half about who’s doing the pre-party shop and no trips to heartbreak hotel when your favourite bangers are out of stock.

The best thing about this barbecue bundle is that you can personalise your box: choose two artisan sausage flavours, select seasonings for chicken thighs, drumsticks and breast, decide if you want your lamb chops minted and add a maple glaze to your barbecue ribs.
