It's time to get BBQ ready (just a little later than expected) with JJ Home Essentials!

Updated: Feb 23

Now this may not have been the summer we were hoping for, but fear not - there's a glimmer of warmer weather coming! And that can only mean one thing - it's time to get BBQ ready!


Our new JJ Home Essentials range is perfect for just that, whether you're entertaining family and friends, or simply fancy some backyard barbecued goodness; from top-quality meats, fresh vegetables and side dish options, we've got something to satisfy everyone.

Our Premium Range of Meats

Treat your family and friends to the finest cuts of meat that will leave them craving more! Prepared to order by our specialist butchers, our selection of T-Bones, sirloins, ribeye's and fillet steaks simply melt in your mouth.



We recommend removing the steaks from the fridge around 20 minutes before cooking them on the BBQ and lightly seasoning them with a grind of salt and pepper, so that the natural flavour of the meat isn't overpowered.


While marinades work wonders to tenderise tougher cuts of meat, with our premium cuts, there's no need!

Or, how about our incredible lamb chops and lamb ribs? Not only are they a fantastic value crowd-pleaser. but they're guaranteed to please when they take on the smoky flavour from the grill!


Plus, our pre-marinated lamb and chicken shish spare the hassle of tedious preparation - simply thread the succulent cubes onto skewers and grill them to perfection (we won't tell if you take credit for the marinade!). What's more - our pre-marinated chicken wings are a game changer! Throw them straight onto the BBQ for a crispy char then they're ready to be devoured.



Family Favourites

Everyone loves a good, juicy burger, and our 8oz handmade style gourmet burgers are a great option if you're catering for a crowd. Guaranteed to please everyone, pair them with our creamy cheddar slices and variety of tasty condiments!



Not in the mood for burgers? No problem! Sink your teeth into our delectable hot dogs and flavourful cooked doner meat. With such a diverse selection, you're sure to find something to satisfy every craving at JJ's.


Plus, keep the kids happy with our selection of chicken wings, nuggets, strips and chunky chicken bites! We've got a huge range to choose from, with halal options for everyone to enjoy, at fantastic value too.



Indulge in the Finest Catch: Our Premium Fish and Seafood

Savour the sea with our selection of fish and seafood products, perfect for cooking on the BBQ! From fresh, boneless salmon portions and whole, gutted seabass, to giant black tiger prawns and pre-prepared fish fillets too.


Top tip: Place a bed of lemon slices on your BBQ grills before laying your fish down, to prevent the skin from sticking to the grills, while infusing a citrus kick into every bite.



Bask in the flavours of summer by marinating your black tiger prawns in the zest of two limes, two finely chopped red chillies, two peeled and crushed garlic cloves, and two tablespoons of fish sauce. Simply peel the shells of the prawns, leaving the heads and tails intact, then de-vein. Leave to soak in the marinade for 30 minutes, before grilling on the BBQ for 3-4 minutes on each side!



A Little Something on the Side

Nothing screams a BBQ without the array of side dishes on offer to accompany your perfectly grilled meats and fish.


From fresh vegetables for vibrant side salads, to crispy onion rings, gooey mozzarella sticks, fresh potatoes and Cyprus style cheese - we've got everything you need to serve up the ultimate feast and leave your guests coming back for more!
