BBQ comp smokin’
There will be plenty to eat.
The Smoke on the Coast barbecue competition is returning to Whangateau Holiday Park on Saturday April 24.
Last year’s competition was delayed until December due to Covid-19, but it is ordinarily held in April which is why it is taking place just four months after the previous event.
Organiser Derrick Paull says it hasn’t dampened enthusiasm – in fact, this year’s competition entry is up by eight teams, including 12 that have never competed before.
The public is invited to “just roll up” free of charge on Saturday to see the best in the barbie business and taste some sweet meats.
