Backyard barbies are usually reserved for warmer months in other parts of the world, but here in sunny, all-summer Singapore, we can bring out the grill anytime we want (okay, except when it’s raining).
No doubt we have an appetite for delicious ‘cue, and there are no shortage of local BBQ caterers that will take the fuss out of our outdoor shindigs. But if you’re looking for more than just marinated chicken wings and corn on the cob, then remember this name: Stoke.
Launched this week on crowd-funding site Kickstarter, Stoke delivers gourmet BBQ parcels that are packed with top-shelf meats like acorn-fed Spanish pork iberico, organic Australian lamb and beef, organic British pork sausages, as well as appetisers such as iberico ham, giant stuffed olives, pate and Manchego cheese. Noteworthy, too, is that these wonderful produce come from the founders’ small network of artisans and heritage farmers who share their beliefs in ethical farming. In short, you get a farm-to-table experience delivered right to your door.
Stoke BBQ parcels are available in Basic (for 4 to 6 pax, with meats and cheese), Luxury (for 6-8 pax, with meats, appetisers and cheese), and Grande (for 10 to 12 pax, with meats, appetisers and cheese). Unfortunately, they aren’t available immediately, but you can pledge your support and purchase a parcel in advance (from £88 onwards) on Kickstarter.
