Father’s Day BBQ Essentials: Flavoured Butters That Upgrade Every Grill

Father’s Day BBQ Essentials: Flavoured Butters That Upgrade Every Grill

There’s something timeless about a Father’s Day BBQ—the sizzle of the grill, the smell of smoke in the air, and a table full of food that brings everyone together. But if you want to take this year’s spread from “great” to unforgettable, there’s one simple upgrade that delivers big flavour with almost no extra effort: our savoury butters.

Crafted to melt, baste, and elevate everything they touch - whether you’re grilling steaks, stacking burgers, or charring sweetcorn, the right butter can completely transform the result.

Here's how we would recommend making the most of 4 standout flavours - Cajun, Garlic & Herb, Peppercorn, and Chipotle - across your Father’s Day feast.

Steak

Dad's perfectly grilled steak is already a showstopper, but finishing it with butter takes it to another level.

  • Peppercorn Butter melts into the meat, creating a rich, slightly spicy sauce that enhances the steak’s natural juices. Or an alternative could be reducing it down in a pan with some double cream to create a creamy peppercorn sauce.
  • Garlic & Herb Butter brings a classic steakhouse finish - brilliantly garlicky, with delicious herbs.

How to use:
As soon as your steak comes off the grill, add a generous slice of butter on top and let it rest. The butter melts into every crevice, creating a glossy, flavour-packed finish.

Burgers: Build Better Layers

Burgers are all about layers, and butter adds one you had no clue you were missing.

  • Chipotle Butter adds a strong smoky heat that pairs beautifully with beef patties.
  • Cajun Butter delivers bold spices that turn a simple burger into something punchy and exciting.

How to use:
Spread a thin layer onto the inside of your burger buns and toast them on the grill. You can also add a small pat directly onto the patty while it’s still hot.

Corn on the Cob: A BBQ Classic, Upgraded

Corn on the cob is a BBQ staple, but it must be all buttery right?

  • Cajun Butter is our top recommendation for this dish, giving sweetcorn a spicy kick that balances its natural sweetness.
  • Garlic & Herb Butter adds a fragrant, savoury twist that's also child friendly.

How to use:
Brush butter onto the corn while it’s still on the grill so it melts and caramelises slightly. Finish with another layer just before serving.

Chicken: Keep It Juicy

Grilled chicken can sometimes fall flat—but butter solves that instantly.

How to use:
Baste the chicken with melted butter during the last few minutes of grilling, then add a final pat just before serving.

Flatbreads: The Unsung Hero

Flatbreads are often overlooked at BBQs, but they’re the perfect canvas for crafting wraps, pizza bases or even dipping tools for hummus and other dips.

How to use:
Brush butter onto flatbreads and grill for 1–2 minutes until lightly charred. These butters can also be used as the dip themselves - just microwave on a low heat and dip your flatbreads in!
