National BBQ Week: Everything you need for the Perfect Cyprus Barbecue

National BBQ Week is taking place in the UK from 5th to 18th July 2021.

What is a Cypriot Rotisserie BBQ 

A traditional Greek Cypriot BBQ, also known as a Foukou, is a rotisserie style barbecue that slowly cooks food over hot charcoal by rotating the meat on skewers or spits.  In Cyprus, almost every household owns a one and it is not uncommon for families to get together and cook their food on these grills sometimes several times a week.

It is the perfect no fuss barbecue. No more standing at the BBQ watching the meat cook, all you need to do load the skewers put them on the Cyprus BBQ and switch to motor on, easy. You can then just sit back and enjoy time with the ones you love.
