A guide to building the ultimate BBQ selection from Lakings, plus cooking tips
It’s mid-July, the unmistakable scent of summer is in the air, and when the sun is high, there’s no better time to spark up the barbecue. Evenings are warm and unhurried, and weekends are filling up with garden gatherings. It’s officially barbecue season, and there’s no better time to up your game.
Whether you’re planning a big family cookout, a relaxed catch-up with friends, or simply want to make the most of these long summer nights, the right selection of meat makes all the difference. And for that, Lakings of Louth has you covered.
With over a century of heritage and a reputation for quality that stretches far beyond Lincolnshire, Lakings is your go-to butcher for premium barbecue picks – ethically sourced, expertly prepared, and full of flavour.
Building the ultimate barbecue meat box from Lakings
Lakings offers a variety of meats perfect for grilling, each sourced from local Lincolnshire farmers to ensure quality and freshness. Here’s how to assemble a standout barbecue box:
Lincolnshire sausages: A staple of any British barbecue, Lakings’ Lincolnshire sausages are celebrated for their traditional seasoning and high meat content. They’ve even earned silver in the National Craft Butchers Product Awards.
Dry-cured back bacon: For a sweet and smoky twist to add to your burgers, include Lakings’ dry-cured back bacon. This innovative product received a bronze award, highlighting its unique flavour profile.
Beef burgers: What’s a barbecue without a burger? Made using off-cuts from our steaks and roasting joints, our beef burgers are succulent and juicy. Perfect grilled on the barbecue, but if the weather takes a turn, the grill inside will work just as well.
Rack of pork ribs: A full rack of ribs, the showstopper of a barbecued feast. Ideal for your next weekender, ask our butcher for a plain rack or with our Chinese glaze.
Ethical sourcing and sustainability
Lakings prides itself on working closely with local Lincolnshire farmers, who are as passionate about animal welfare and accountability as we are. Why? These relationships ensure that all meats our customers purchase are ethically sourced and of the highest quality. And a commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at the butchery counter. Eco-friendly packaging always comes as standard, and support for local artisans with a presence in the Louth store and deli never wavers.
