Build the Ultimate British BBQ with Great British Trading

Nothing says summer quite like gathering friends and family around the barbecue. While burgers and sausages may be the stars of the grill, it's the quality ingredients and carefully chosen accompaniments that turn a good BBQ into a memorable one.

At Great British Trading, we've brought together everything you need to build a truly British barbecue, from artisan cheeses and handcrafted chutneys to deli favourites that elevate every plate.

Start with Cheese

A proper cheeseburger deserves proper cheese.

Our creamy Monterey Jack melts beautifully over sizzling burgers, creating that irresistible stretch while adding a rich, buttery flavour that complements quality British beef perfectly.

Looking to offer something different? Add a mature Cheddar for a bold bite, or create a cheeseboard for guests to enjoy while the barbecue is warming up.

The Ultimate Cheeseburger

Take your burger to the next level with this simple combination.

You'll need:

• 4 quality British beef burger patties
• 4 brioche burger buns
• Great British Trading Monterey Jack cheese
• Great British Trading Sweet Chilli Jam
• Crisp lettuce
• Sliced tomato
• Pickled onions (optional)

Method

Cook the burgers over a hot barbecue until almost done.

Lay generous slices of Monterey Jack over each burger and close the lid for a minute or two until beautifully melted.

Lightly toast the brioche buns before spreading a generous spoonful of Sweet Chilli Jam onto the base.

Layer with lettuce, tomato and the melted burger before finishing with the top bun.

The creamy cheese and sweet chilli jam create the perfect balance of richness, sweetness and gentle warmth, making this a burger you'll want to cook all summer long.

Don't Forget the Sides

Every great barbecue deserves equally great accompaniments.

Our Sweet Chilli Jam isn't just for burgers. Serve it alongside grilled halloumi, spoon it over loaded fries or add it to sharing boards for guests to enjoy.

Creating a Caesar salad? Finish it properly with quality anchovies for that unmistakable savoury depth. Combined with crisp lettuce, Parmesan, homemade croutons and a creamy dressing, it's the perfect fresh side to balance smoky barbecue flavours.

Celebrate British Summer Flavour

The best barbecues are built around quality ingredients rather than complicated recipes.

Whether you're melting British cheese over burgers, adding artisan chutneys to your buns or filling the table with carefully selected deli favourites, every product plays its part.

With Great British Trading's growing pantry collection and award-winning range of British cheeses, it's never been easier to create a barbecue that celebrates the very best of British produce.

Fire up the grill, gather your favourite people and enjoy a summer full of great food, great company and great British flavour.
