Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple:

In recent years the barbecue has become just as important as the kitchen stove. The integration of the kitchen into family and living areas means that it is much more practical to cook meat, seafood and vegetables outside on the barbecue.

Our Improvements

Hampton

In May 2003, we completely renovated and upgraded our Hampton shop.

In August 2006, we expanded our Hampton shop into the adjoining premises at 2a Mills Street. This gave us an additional 100 square metres of floorspace, allowing us to have an even greater range of quality Beefeater and Weber® BBQs.

The extra floor space has also allowed us to display the Australian-made Heatlie BBQs & Grand Hall BBQs with infrared technology.
