Get ready to fire up your Bank Holiday with a fantastic day of outdoor cooking inspiration at Polhill Home and Garden. We are delighted to be hosting a live Blackstone BBQ demonstration on Monday 25th May in our BBQ Showroom, and it's set to be a real highlight for food lovers, home cooks and BBQ enthusiasts alike.
As the weather warms up and we all start spending more time outdoors, there is no better time to explore new ways to cook, entertain and enjoy great food with family and friends. This special event is your chance to see one of the most exciting outdoor cooking ranges in action, learn from experienced BBQ experts, and sample a fantastic variety of freshly cooked dishes.
What’s Happening on the Day?
Join us in the BBQ Showroom where we will be showcasing the impressive Blackstone 36" Griddle BBQ with Hood and Airfryer. Cooking on the day will be Pitmaster Dave W, who will be demonstrating just how versatile and powerful this setup really is.
Throughout the day, Dave W will be preparing a wide range of dishes, sharing tips, techniques and insights to help you get the most out of your outdoor cooking. Whether you are completely new to BBQs or looking to take your skills to the next level, there will be something to learn and enjoy.
Here is what you can expect when you visit:
- Live cooking demonstrations using the Blackstone 36" Griddle
- Expert advice from our knowledgeable BBQ team

- A relaxed and welcoming showroom atmosphere
- Plenty of free samples fresh from the griddle
It is a great opportunity to see the Blackstone range in action and ask any questions you may have before choosing your next BBQ.
What’s on the Menu?
One of the highlights of the day is without doubt the food. We have carefully chosen a menu that really shows off the flexibility of the Blackstone griddle, from breakfast favourites through to street food classics and lighter options.
On the day, you can look forward to sampling:
- Breakfast pancakes, cooked fresh on the griddle, light, fluffy and golden
- Fajita pancake stack, a creative twist that blends sweet and savoury flavours
- Stir fry satay chicken, rich, fragrant and full of bold flavour
- Smash burgers and taco burgers, showcasing classic griddle cooking at its best
- Stuffed portobello mushrooms, a delicious and satisfying vegetarian option
- Salmon à la plancha, seared to perfection with a crisp finish
- Griddled halloumi, golden and crispy on the outside, soft in the middle
- Air fryer chicken wings and fries, made using the built in air fryer for a perfect finish
This varied menu demonstrates just how adaptable the Blackstone is. From quick breakfasts to hearty meals and lighter dishes, it is a piece of equipment that suits every occasion.
Why Blackstone?
Blackstone griddles have become increasingly popular with outdoor cooking enthusiasts, and it is easy to see why. Unlike traditional BBQs that use grills, Blackstone uses a flat top cooking surface which opens up a whole new way of cooking outdoors.
The large cooking area allows you to prepare multiple foods at once, making it ideal for families or entertaining guests. The even heat distribution means consistent results, whether you are cooking pancakes, vegetables, meat or seafood.
The addition of the hood provides greater cooking control, while the integrated air fryer brings even more versatility. It allows you to crisp up wings and fries while cooking other elements on the griddle, all in one place.
For anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors but wants more flexibility than a standard grill can offer, the Blackstone range is a fantastic option. This demo is the perfect way to see those benefits in action before making a decision.
Who Should Attend?
This event is designed to be open and enjoyable for everyone. Whether you are a seasoned BBQ enthusiast or simply curious about outdoor cooking, you will feel right at home.
