Remember this?
And this?
And this?
I do. Very well. And now news has reached my shell-like that not only have the dates been released for Grillstock 2015, but also tickets have gone on sale.
As ever, this promises great music acts, beer, bourbon and low, slow, sticky fingered food. I’ve already slotted these dates in my diary because yes, that will probably be my entire weekend.
Dozens of BBQ teams from across the world will once again light their coals and compete to be crowned King of the Grill ‘Grand Champion’ in the cook-off. Over the seven rounds, the teams will try to win over judges with their wares and as ever, the crowd will get their chance to sample these goodies (if they’re in the right place at judging time).
I’m hoping this year in the competition we may see fewer bugs on the menu, and I can’t say I fondly remember judging some of those wings. There’s spicy, and there’s tastebud obliterating….
Tickets start at £25 with a limited number of early bird options (35% discount anyone?), so if you fancy getting your meat on and putting something special in the diary for next year, then I’d recommend heading to the website before the discounts disappear.
And I’ll see you there.
