Win a Netherton Foundry black iron barbecue and a copy of Charred
After the blazing Easter we had it’s hard to believe we’re in the same season but let’s remain optimistic and think about all the amazing opportunities we’re going to have to cook out of doors this summer. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.
And to inspire you we’ve got two barbecues for you to win from the fabulous Netherton Foundry who make the most beautiful pans and grills (you may remember we did a competition with them a while ago)
They’ve just added a portable 15 inch black iron barbecue or chapa to their range which you could use anywhere from a small patio to the beach. Chapas were used by Argentinian gauchos and were simply a way of cooking over hot embers or fire.
The legs are detachable, making them compact and easy to store and transport.
We’ve also thrown in for each of our two winners a copy of my friend Genevieve Taylor’s marvellous new book Charred: the complete guide to vegetarian grilling and barbecue. Gen is a brilliant outdoor cook whose previous books include The Ultimate Wood Fired Oven Cookbook and How to Eat Outside.

Win a fabulous meat hamper from award-winning butcher Peter Hannan
Easter, like Christmas, is an occasion to feast with family and friends so we couldn’t mark it with a better prize than this fabulous meat box from prize-winning butcher Peter Hannan of Hannan Meats. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.
Pete’s revolutionary method of ageing meat in a Himalayan salt chamber gives it an incredible depth of flavour and has won him many medals including Supreme Champion at the Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste Awards for his Glenarm Shorthorn beef. Last year he was given BBC Food & Farming’s prestigious Derek Cooper award - a well-deserved accolade for a lovely guy who does an immense amount to promote the Northern Irish food scene, not just his own business. (You can follow him on instagram @meatpeter)
The hamper will include
A sugar-pit bacon rack (I can vouch that this is insanely good)
A new season Himalayan-aged leg of lamb
A new season Himalayan-aged lamb striploin
1 kg Glenarm shorthorn Porterhouse steaks
1 kg Glenarm Shorthorn Cote de Boeuf sharing steak
Dripping (for those roasties)
and gorgeous Abernethy butter.

Win a case of Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve
We have a fabulous prize for the wine lovers among you this month - a six bottle case of Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 2013 from Vina Errazuriz*, one of the best known wineries in Chile. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.
Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve (which is on sale in Waitrose Cellar for £54.50 a bottle) is a Bordeaux-inspired blend made in homage to the founder of the winery. The blend changes each year but the 2013 is predominantly cabernet sauvignon with 19% malbec, 6% carmenère and 5% petit verdot.
According to the winemaker’s notes “The resulting wine is fresh, layered with distinctive minerality and nuance. The refined tannins support a delicious texture and prolonged by a lingering finish providing great pleasure even at this early stage of its life.” (You can find a full description of the vintage, the vineyards from which it was drawn and the vinification on their website.)
You can obviously drink it with pleasure now (with roast lamb or a steak, I suggest FB) but it will keep for a good 10 or more years.
The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday March 31st 2019 and you must be 18 or over and live in the UK to enter. For other terms and conditions see below.
