The Most Controversial BBQ List is Back!
I wasn’t even planning to make this list for the new website. But then I asked the people . . . and the people spoke.
I threw up a quick Instagram story asking if I should bring back the Top 100 UK BBQ Accounts list, and the response? 90% said HELL YES! Not only that, but my DMs blew up with people saying they’d love to see it again—especially because the UK BBQ scene on Instagram has changed massively over the past year.
Some of the BIG accounts have disappeared, some have slowed down (hey, life happens), but that’s opened the door for a new wave of BBQ legends. So, here it is—my personal list of the top 100 UK BBQ accounts I think everyone should follow.
Is This List Controversial? Probably. Do I Care? Not One Bit.
Look, I already know some people will have a meltdown over this list. That’s fine. It’s my list, my opinion, and that’s that.
Don’t agree? Leave a comment. Maybe there’s someone amazing I haven’t discovered yet. But if you think I’m just gonna change it because someone’s throwing a tantrum in my inbox? Not a chance.
This is how I see the UK BBQ scene right now, in March 2025. Could I update it in a few months? Maybe. But for now, this is the definitive list.
So, grab a beer, fire up the grill, and let’s get into it.
