Foodie Saturday | Dorset Spice Shed BBQ

Fire up your appetite because Richard from Dorset Spice Shed is joining us at The Farmer Butcher for a flavour packed BBQ pop up. Dorset Spice Shed was born from a lifelong love of herbs and spices, and it shows in every blend. Richard has been creating and experimenting with seasonings since 2011, crafting unique mixes that turn great ingredients into something truly memorable. For him, seasonings are the magic ingredient. The right balance of herbs, spices, salt, pepper and dried vegetables can transform the everyday into something special. On the day, Richard will be cooking up a delicious BBQ using his signature blends, showcasing just how powerful great seasoning can be when it hits the grill. Expect bold flavours, perfectly balanced rubs and that unmistakable smoky finish that only a proper BBQ can deliver. He will also have a full collection of his spices and rubs available to buy, so you can take the flavour home and experiment in your own kitchen. Most of the herbs and spices used in his blends are air dried, following traditional, sustainable methods that celebrate one of the oldest forms of food preservation. It is all about honest ingredients, thoughtful sourcing and serious flavour. Whether you are a confident home cook or just love good food, this is your chance to chat with Richard, discover new blends and pick up tips for making everyday meals taste even better. Come hungry, leave inspired, and get ready to share the love of seasoning.

More about Brook

Hampshire, England

Brook in Hampshire is a quiet spot where the river flows past and The Green Dragon knows exactly how to turn a dull afternoon into a proper evening out. It doesn't need to shout about its events because the local theatre troupe and community groups keep things lively without making a scene. You'll find plenty of reasons to drop by, from live music nights that pack the room to family-friendly workshops that actually make sense for parents with tired children. Near Here keeps the calendar tidy so you aren't hunting down flyers in the rain or standing outside wondering who's playing tonight.
