Weber BBQ Experience Roadshow rolls into John Browns Garden Centre

Barbecue manufacturer Weber will take its BBQ Experience Roadshow to John Browns garden centre in Three Legged Cross on Easter Saturday.

   Chef Dan Cooper – who has cooked up feasts for celebrities including Lily Allen and Alex James – will demonstrate delicious barbecued dishes and show visitors how to perfect Weber’s ‘roast’, ‘grill’ and ‘bake’ techniques.  

   The roadshow features a specially-equipped 1970s chrome Airstream Land Yacht, recently found in the USA and shipped to Somerset to be refurbished and re-fitted.

   Centre manager Jeremy Green said: “As well as demonstrations there will be plenty of opportunities to sample the delicious, freshly-barbecued food – and take away some recipe cards to try some exciting new creations at home. And it’s all free!”

   The latest gas and charcoal Weber barbecues will be on show, along with cookware accessories, and there will be offers on all Weber products throughout the bank holiday weekend.

   The roadshow will fire up from 11.30am to 2.30pm on Saturday April 7.

Howard is new plant area manager at Cadnam Garden Centre

Howard Ley has been appointed plant area manager at Cadnam Garden Centre, part of the Golden Acres group.

   His career began after qualifying with City & Guilds 1, 2 & 3 in Horticulture at Dartington Horticultural College, when he joined a local garden centre.

   More recently he was horticultural manager with a large garden centre group in the south west.

   His favourite plants are bedding and herbaceous because of their vibrant colours - he has a fairly small courtyard garden where he grows them in containers.

   Howard said: “Even though I’ve previously always lived in Devon, I’ve known Cadnam Garden Centre for years because my wife’s parents live in nearby Totton. It’s a great centre to move to because customer service is high on its priorities.”
