Following the huge success of The Stove Yard's Big Green Egg BBQ competition at the recent Sea Bangor Festival, we will be bringing our Big Green Eggs to the Dalriada Festival in Glenarm on Saturday and Sunday 16th and 17th of July for another competition which will again be open to barbecuers everywhere. The same rules will apply and fantastic Big Green Egg prizes will be up for grabs, including a chance to win a Large Big Green Egg worth over £1000 and a MiniMax Big Green Egg worth £550! 8 contestants or teams will be chosen to cook, grill, bake or smoke their way to the top spot and receive the prestigious title 'Dalriada Festival Big Green Egg BBQ Champion'. So if you if you secretly think you're the best barbecuer in the land, or you know someone who is, then step up to the plate and find out more about how to apply at https://www.thestoveyard.com/dalriada-festival. One thing's guaranteed – great food and great craic will be had by all.
On 2nd May 2026 (starting at 10am), we're hosting a live cooking demonstration with Jasper Castel, private dining chef and local food figure best known as co-owner of The Boathouse Restaurant in Bangor. Jasper will be cooking on the Big Green Egg throughout the day — expect proper food, real fire, and a few things you probably haven't tried on a BBQ before.
Mark your calendars! On Saturday, 10th May 2025, from 10am to 2pm, The Stove Yard, Newtownards is hosting a Big Green Egg Demo Day — a must for anyone who loves great food and outdoor cooking.
