Professional Grill Accessories for Summer BBQ Success

As UK summers get hotter, discover the essential BBQ tools helping caterers, restaurants and street food vendors deliver outstanding barbecue food.

This year alone, the Met Office recorded 37.7°C at Lingwood, Norfolk, on 26 June 2026; the UK's hottest temperature on record this year and for June. For restaurants, pubs, food halls and street food operators, that means one thing: more customers looking for great barbecue food.

Keeping up with demand isn't just about having the right grill. It's about using reliable accessories that make food preparation quicker, cooking more consistent and clean up easier. From skewers and burger presses to grill brushes and griddle scrapers, the right equipment helps busy kitchens work smarter during the peak BBQ season.

Charlie Korotane, Sales Director at Chef Set Ltd, says,

"Barbecue food has evolved beyond traditional outdoor cooking. From our decades of supplying professional kitchens with light catering equipment, we're seeing growing demand for globally inspired barbecue dishes across the hospitality sector, where chefs are embracing bold international flavours.

"He adds: "In high-volume kitchens, the most valuable equipment isn't necessarily the most complex, it's the accessories that are durable, hygienic and built to perform consistently under high heat. From stainless steel skewers and burger presses to other essential tools, we understand the demands of professional catering environments."
