Hosting a fall BBQ? Here’s what to put on the menu!
We’re really feeling the fall vibes this week—the days are shorter, the nights are cooler and if you look, there are already glimpses of red and gold in the trees. It’s a beautiful time of year—perfect for sitting around a campfire or sharing a good meal with friends. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, watching the big game or simply enjoying these last few weeks of warm weather, a fall BBQ is always a good idea. Food, family, friends and fun times—that combination never goes out of style!
Here are some suggestions for your next fall BBQ—we hope to see you in Simcoe or Stoney Creek soon. If you’d like help finding a specific product or placing an online order, please contact us.
Fall BBQ favourites
As you say goodbye to summer, consider bringing some fall flavours into your BBQ menu—maple bourbon, cranberry, cinnamon and nutmeg, pecan and more. If you’re serving pork, make a homemade applesauce with plenty of warm autumn spices. If chicken’s on the menu, consider a tart cranberry glaze. Get creative! You can also serve mashed squash or sweet potatoes, apple pie and other seasonal favourites.
Here are some products we’d be glad to see at any fall BBQ. For personalized recommendations, please speak to one of our expert butchers! They’re always glad to help.
