Customer Favourites: What You’re Buying (and Loving!)
At Meat Auctions, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our best-sellers this time of year. And no surprise—it’s all about the BBQ essentials in August!
(Though, let’s be honest… we’ve all had a Great British BBQ in the rain, haven’t we?)
The best part? Our top picks taste just as amazing under the grill or in the oven if the weather doesn’t play ball.
Party BBQ Pack – The Ultimate Crowd Pleaser
A fridge essential this summer! Packed with a tasty mix of flavoured chicken, pork, and our famous steak burgers, this bundle is perfect for spontaneous BBQs or planned family get-togethers.
Try a range of marinades including our much-loved Double Smoke – a firm customer favourite.
With over 50 pieces inside, this box feeds at least 10 hungry mouths. It’s a serious bang for your buck.
Top Tip:
Ribs in the slow cooker? Game changer.
Add an inch of water, cook low and slow for 6–8 hours, then drizzle with BBQ sauce. You’ll get fall-off-the-bone tenderness with that irresistible southern smokehouse flavour.
Smokey Belly Bites – Too Good to Share!
These bite-sized chunks of pork belly are loaded with rich, smoky flavour and have just the right balance of meat and fat.
Perfect on a platter, as a side dish, or for sneaky snacking – just don’t expect them to last long!
Top Tip:
They’re brilliant on a George Foreman-style grill, but also work beautifully in the oven or on the BBQ. For more cooking tips, check out the product page.
Beef Burgers – Made with Real Passion
Our burgers have a cult following – and we’re here for it!
Earlier this year, we upgraded our burger machine to keep up with demand, and we haven’t looked back. Made with high-quality ingredients and locally sourced steak offcuts, they deliver incredible flavour and that perfect bite every time.
New to the range: the 5oz Shropshire Supreme Burger – handcrafted with dried herbs, salt, and pepper. These beauties are preservative-free, gluten-free, and made with nothing unnecessary. Just pure burger goodness!
Top Tip:
For the best texture, let one side fully sear for 3–4 minutes before flipping. Only flip once!
Sausages – Award-Winning and Always a Hit
No BBQ is complete without sausages – especially Barratt’s award-winning bangers, a customer fave since 2012!
From hearty winter casseroles to sizzling summer BBQs, they’ve earned their spot on your plate. With a variety of flavours to choose from, the top picks are always:
- Pork & Black Pudding
- Farmhouse
- Cumberland
Each pack includes 12 sausages – perfect for sharing!
Top Tip:
Slow and steady wins the sausage game.
Start on low to medium heat and turn regularly. This stops them splitting or burning and keeps them juicy all the way through.
