British BBQ Society Forums

Me and a few others are going to the one in Bristol in may. It looks really good. Im going to enter the rib eating comp I reckon, there is a chilli eating comp. Live music and lots of food and alcohol.

To me it aounds like a recipe fir one hell of a day. Weather permitting obviously.


Has anyone actually been?

Yes we went last year, I'm sure it opened a lot earlier as the times are now 11am-10pm. Due to the appalling weather some of the trade stands didn't turn up, but even considering the weather we had a great time meating lots of like minded bbqers & food nutters. Hopefully someone can confirm this but from the website it gives the appearance that there won't be that many on the day tickets available

The website say's tickets running out fast.
Had to do that online thingy and buy some tickets with a bit of plastic, WOT no barter!

Been to grillstock for the last 2 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to the Manchester one this year as it is more local to me.

Sad to say Si it's technology , now if it had been a local ticket office like in the old days I'm sure a couple of brace of bunnies and a cotteral of pigeon breasts would probably have done it for VIP tickets .

Yep, I bought tickets from the St Nicks stall on Saturday,

Oh Oh I don't think Si knew about them

We are there on Saturday so may well meat up, you get to meat most people during the day. The good news is it's the rubber arm stamp for re-entry so you can come and go all day.

Well hopefully there wil be tickets left friday to buy on line. Am looking forward to it. If I cant get in I'll stand out side to smell the food
