Meat Under the Hood BBQ
Born from backyard banter, fueled by fire and flavour.
Nelson's home to the Low n Slow barbecue experience.
At Under the Hood BBQ, our journey began with simple backyard banter and a deep passion for the art of live-fire cooking. Today, we are proud to be Nelson's premier destination for the authentic Low n Slow barbecue experience.
Our business is focused on three core pillars: events catering, masterclasses, and BBQ products. Together we travel throughout New Zealand, sharing the love and helping others elevate their backyard barbecue game.
To support our community of pitmasters, we have produced online classes and built an interactive BBQ trailer so we can bring the smoke show directly to you.
"We truly believe that food brings people together, so whatever you eat, be sure to make it good!"
