Calling all grillers! Blackstone’s legendary Griddle Week lands in UK

Outdoor cooking enthusiasts across the UK are being invited to fire up their griddles as Blackstone’s famous Griddle Week officially launches in Britain for the very first time.

 

For the past seven years in the United States, Griddle Week has celebrated everything people love about outdoor cooking—bringing together grillers, food lovers and creators for seven days of flavour, creativity and community. Now, the event is crossing the Atlantic to inspire UK cooks to discover just how much more they can do outside with a Blackstone griddle.

 

Traditionally, many outdoor cooks in the UK turn to the classic BBQ. But Griddle Week is here to show that outdoor cooking can go far beyond burgers and sausages. With a Blackstone griddle, you can cook an incredible variety of meals—from breakfast feasts to street-food favourites, camping classics and show-stopping cuts of meat—all outdoors, all year round.

 

To make the first UK Griddle Week a success, Blackstone is calling on grillers, creators and outdoor cooking fans to get involved. Throughout the week, participants are encouraged to share their cooks, post videos, create social content and spread the word to inspire others to get outside and cook more food, more often.

 

Whether you're a seasoned outdoor chef or trying griddle cooking for the first time, this is your chance to join a growing community and showcase what’s possible.

 

The Seven Days of Griddle Week

Each day brings a new theme to spark creativity and encourage cooks to try something different on the griddle:

 

Monday – Breakfast
Start the week strong with the ultimate outdoor breakfast.

 

Tuesday – Taco Tuesday
Street-food favourites sizzling on the griddle.

 

Wednesday – Burger Day
Perfect smashed burgers and creative burger builds.

 

Thursday – Fusion
Blend global flavours and cuisines on the griddle.

 

Friday – Camping
Simple, delicious outdoor meals perfect for the campsite.

 

Saturday – Game Day
Crowd-pleasing food made for sharing with friends and family.

 

Sunday – Big Cuts
Finish the week with impressive cuts of meat cooked to perfection.

 

Across social media, grillers are encouraged to post their cooks, share tips, inspire others and help grow the outdoor cooking movement across the UK.

 

With the versatility of a Blackstone griddle, outdoor cooking isn’t limited to summer—it’s a year-round way to cook, entertain and enjoy incredible food outside.

 

So fire up the griddle, grab your ingredients and join the movement.

 

Griddle Week UK has arrived.
