Saturday 27th - Monday 29th August

Our Head Chefs will be cooking up a storm, showing you how to use a Traeger pellet BBQ, Broil King gas BBQ and Ooni pizza oven, with meat from our local supplier, New Pastures Butchers, and delicious vegan options.

We’ll be cooking live in the Coffee Shop garden 11am-3pm on: 

• Saturday 27th Stewarts Broomhill Garden Centre
• Sunday 28th Stewarts Abbey Garden Centre
• Monday 29th at Stewarts Christchurch Garden Centre

All the dishes they cook will be available to buy to enjoy while you watch (and in the Coffee Shop throughout the weekend), so you can give in to your nose and eyes and reward your tastebuds!

We’ll also have a selection of our local suppliers here with samples of their delectable delights, with lots of sauce and ingredients ideas to add to your own cooking at home.
