Create a great value
BBQ experience
Home cooked BBQs are very popular. So your
pub needs to deliver a good value experience,
that customers want to stay at the pub for.
Better Burgers
• Be adventurous - use bold flavours that
won’t bore burger lovers
• Swap your buns - go for brioche, ciabatta or
artisan breads
• Great toppings - use a great quality real
mayonnaise
• Build flavour - add spice with sauces and
dressings like on-trend BBQ, chilli, pepper or
honey flavours
• Hero your meat - shout about provenance,
locality, region or herd like Aberdeen Angus

Beyond Burgers
Burgers
• Add adventure with ribs - they’re relatively
cheap but exciting. Experiment with marinades,
seasonings and rubs
• Wrap a whole fish in foil - stuff with garlic,
lemon and fresh herbs and cook straight
on the BBQ
Smashing sides
• Try adding spices and seasonings to
revolutionise chips and fries
• A selection of salads, crunchy veg slaws, corn
on the cob and roasted veg
• Pre-bake jacket potatoes, cut in half and rub
with olive oil and garlic. Finish off on the BBQ
as needed. Try serving with crème fraiche and
chives
Classic condiments
• Top it all off with a range of condiments and
sauces – mustards, pickles, dressings and
mayonnaise will go down a treat

Maximise profit
through ingredients
• Cheaper cuts - like feather blade or brisket cost less
than steak. Slow cook first and finish on the BBQ to still
deliver that WOW without the high cost
• Potatoes and bread - are less expensive than meat,
so if it’s ‘all you can eat’, make them appealing for
customers fill up on them!
• Chicken wings and pork ribs - delicious, different and
relatively cheap. Pre-cook then BBQ for a crisp
smoky finish
A punch of profitability
Refreshing summer
punches or cocktails are
a BBQ crowd pleaser and
if made with the right
ingredients, can result in
a very nice profit

Planning tips
• Pre-cook - it can make service quicker and
safer, especially with higher risk meats like
pork and chicken
• Don’t forget the kids – keep parents happy
by having kid-friendly food pitched at the
right price
• Have plenty of charcoal or gas - avoid a
lukewarm grill!
• Have a wet weather plan – consider an
outside shelter if the weather turns – you may
need heater lamps too
• Consider the best location - be wary of open
flames and where the smoke will go
• Do a HACCAP analysis - cross contamination
can be costly. Make sure the handler is fully
food safety trained

Promote your BBQs
• Plan early - get posters, flyers and
menus out in time for the word to spread
• Use your website - let customers know
you are having a BBQ and families are
welcome
• Last minute BBQs - use social media to
get the word out fast
• Show sports events - but run BBQs
before or after so customers stay longer
• Cross promotions - consider meal deals.
Think about your customer demographic
and what would best suit them
