Cooking well over fire takes skill, but mastering this technique will give you a great sense of achievement, and what\u2019s more, you\u2019ll cook up an enviable feast for your friends and family. Here are our top bbq tips, armed with which, you\u2019ll soon become master of the flame. So, get fired up, because it\u2019s time to get cooking the ultimate South Devon barbecue…<\/p>\n
First things first \u2013 where are you going to hold your barbecue? One of the easiest places to enjoy barbecuing is from the comfort of your own holiday home. With washing-up facilities, and the convenience of having a fridge, crockery and cutlery on site, this is a stress free way to cook for family or friends this summer.<\/p>\n
If you would prefer to enjoy your barbecue as part of a day out, why not head to the beach? Many South Devon beaches permit barbecuing, for full details read our South Devon beach bible<\/a>. For a fun experience, why not fish for mackerel for your barbecue? Take your fishing rods to Slapton Sands<\/a> beach and if you are lucky enough to catch some fish, cook it on a disposable barbecue whilst relaxing on the pebbles and watching the sun go down. For all your barbecuing (and fishing!) equipment needs, head to nearby Ashby\u2019s Easy Stores<\/a>, where you can pick up everything you might require.<\/p>\n Wherever you decide to enjoy your barbecue, the most important thing is the food and drink. South Devon offers an abundance of delicious local food, including mouth-watering meats reared on rolling Devon hills, fabulous seafood caught off the Start Bay coastline, and beautiful salad grown in the fields across the region. There are also a number of drink producers, including local breweries and vineyards.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for further foodie inspiration, take a look at our food and drink pages<\/a> in our South Devon Guide.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re looking for steak, burgers or sausages, Aune Valley Meats is a wonderful butcher selling locally sourced meats, perfect for barbecue season.
