Live Fire Cooking Returned to Polhill with Jack’s Meat Shack and Kamado Joe

Live Fire Cooking Returned to Polhill with Jack’s Meat Shack and Kamado Joe

Saturday 12 April saw the flames roar once again in the Polhill Garden Centre BBQ Showroom as we hosted a sizzling live fire cooking demo with the one and only Jack’s Meat Shack, supported by Kamado Joe.

From 11am until 3pm the showroom was buzzing. Crowds gathered to watch Jack work his magic on the Kamado Joe Classic III and the smell of smoke, spice, and perfectly charred meat drifted across the garden centre. It was one of those days where you could follow your nose straight to the action.

A Feast for the Senses

Jack wasted no time firing up the coals and soon had steaks searing, wings smoking and chicken sizzling away. Guests were treated to samples hot off the grill and the reactions said it all. From melt-in-the-mouth steak to juicy chicken cooked low and slow, every bite showcased just how versatile ceramic grills can be.

The air was thick with the kind of aromas that make neighbours lean over the fence and ask what’s cooking. If you were there, you probably left with both a smile on your face and a serious craving for another round of wings.

More Than Just Food

It wasn’t only about eating, although that part was pretty special. Jack shared his know-how throughout the day, answering questions, demonstrating techniques and proving that live fire cooking doesn’t have to be intimidating.

From tips on controlling temperature to tricks for achieving the perfect smoky flavour, visitors came away with new ideas and the confidence to try them at home. Whether you were a BBQ beginner or a experienced pitmaster, there was something to learn and plenty to enjoy.

A Packed Showroom and a Great Atmosphere

Our BBQ Showroom was full of energy all day long. Families, foodies, and curious passers-by crowded around to watch the live demonstrations. There was laughter, conversation and of course plenty of satisfied nods as samples made their way through the crowd.

It felt like the start of BBQ season in the best way possible. The combination of fire, food and fun created a brilliant atmosphere that reminded us why these events are so popular at Polhill.

Thank You, Jack

We owe a big thank you to Jack’s Meat Shack for bringing his trademark style and flavour to the showroom. His passion for barbecue is infectious, and it was clear to see how much the crowd loved both his food and his teaching.

Events like this highlight what our BBQ Showroom is all about, celebrating the best in outdoor cooking and inspiring people to fire up their grills at home.
