This August, The Narrowboat are teaming up with Community Cook-Off to bring you a fantastic, competitive afternoon showcasing the best of Reading's barbeque-ing prowess.

12 teams will be asked to replicate a dish, with only a picture and ingredients as a recipe, and our panel of judges will also ask for 2 side dishes from each team - the teams choose items from a fresh larder of produce, and battle it out to be crowned Reading's BBQ champions!

Members of the public are welcomed to come along and witness the competition whilst enjoying some beers or cocktails on our riverside terrace - and you'll even have the chance to sample the food after the judging is over! There'll be a full afternoon of live music too, to keep you entertained.
