I would NOT pour off the juices! If anything, save the juices to make a gravy, perhaps for another, separate meal.

Sainsbury's is my local supermarket. I live in Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne. The staff there are the friendliest and most helpful shop workers I've ever come across.

If it serves 4, thats not actually that bad, 350g of meat a person is a decent portion as you could serve it with chips, boiled potatoes etc and get a sizable dinner. I think id buy it just for myself, and make 3 seperate dinners seeing as its packed seperately.

You are getting 900 to 950g so between four that's only 230 grams each. Its pretty much decent for two but not four. So if for two that's £8 each. Still quite expensive for the amount you get.

The only way that serves 4 is if the other three don't turn up.

Would have that between 2 people so £8 each … same as a nice size steak so could live with that. Not something most people would buy every week but as a treat not too shabby imo.

I actually had beef short rib last night. Homemade, eight pieces at about 3 and a 1/2 " Square and 2" deep, £11. Bones for stock were free from the same butcher, garlic ,celery, ginger, etc, about a pound and a £6 bottle of red; of which half was used. Runner beans and mash. This actually did feed four people, 😁. Again, the prices these days are extortionate, beef short rib is meant to be a cheap cut, hence the long cooking time. Thanks Gaz 😊. Like deployed 👍

What a really informative review Gareth... Glad you are treating yourself to a fantastic meal... A bit expensive but you get top quality products.

Great video 👍. Definitely wouldn’t pay £16 as looked delicious but wouldn’t feed four people depending on how hungry they are 😊

Maybe food here is expensive but I don’t think that’s overly expensive . It’s all meat. You get something with 60% of chicken in a chicken pie and it’s say £5. I think it’s comparable. Here you are getting slow cooked meat 6hrs that costs to produce. So one portion is £8. How much for regurgitated Big Mac. Not a family meal but for a couple as a treat it’s acceptable as it’s clearly yummy.

I’d could eat that on my own let alone serve four lol. Great vid Gareth.

Since the meat portions are wrapped separately, and depending upon shelf life, it should be possible to get three different meals out of this, cooking one meat portion per day (and saving enough sauce to last until the final portion). Add some potatoes and some nice greens each time.

should of got it for £10 with a nectar card my man ! im going to give this a try thanks for the video

my favorite type of food....looks lovely

I do my weekly shop at aldi in kendal for some of the bargains then across to sainsburys for the finer things like the three trolly wide isles and their fresh bread.

Oo my husband wanted to buy that ! I will let him know your thoughts and thanks for sharing

Sainsbury's food is notoriously expensive, *BUT* the quality is well worth the price! Check out some of their Premium sirloin and fillet - dear but Oh, SO, Yummy 😄 As I have said many times, I don't mind paying the expensive money as long as the quality is superb. Keep up the good work Gareth 👍

Top tip become a regular customer to your local butcher and they will look after you unlike supermarkets do, I've used my local butcher for over 20 years now and we have became friends,so we do occasionally meet up for a drink or two,or should I say we meat up for a drink or two 😂

Bit on the expensive side for me this Gaz although I thought it looked nice. I’m on a homemade Steak & Stilton Pie tonight 🥧 ….Smithy

Bought a Ninja woodfire back in November, for half the price of what it's going for now. Pricey outlay, initially, but it does stuff like this from scratch.

Looks good

If only Sainsbury's produced half that pack, then I might consider it. For a family treat it's not too bad divided between four. One would likely serve potatoes and other vegetables, or in a BBQ situation there would be salads and coleslaw to go with.

After that Lidl Hot Dog sandwich of a few days ago I think you deserve a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"smoked" on food packaging means misted (spray painted) with liquid smoke, good review of an overpriced product. An ideal product for the casual BBQ enthusiast (we're in that season now), go to your butchers and ask for £8 of brisket and £8 of beef short ribs 😉.

Spot On review as always Gareth, we'll I think it is evident,that not worth £16. Also just had a Cathedral City cheese burger (Iceland) that was good,also had the Cathedral City Cheese Dog good too! Please review cheese dog if you can

I love Sainsbury’s, Not being a big meat eater I wouldn’t buy but it looked flavoursome and you could tell you enjoyed it, thanks for. The review❤

Sainsburys went down the pan years ago. 16 quid for that! They are having a bloody laugh! Total rip off and they know it.

The co op near me recycles that plastic and crisp packets etc. Thanks for the video buddy 👍 Edit, im in Luton

The smokey flavour is mostly from LIQUID SMOKE.

Nice review Looks nice! Like you said it is a treat. Only £10.66 with nectar card. Def gonna get one.

To put it in perspective I paid over 13 pounds for fish, chips and a curry sauce tonight which makes this product look almost affordable!

Only £13 and you got curry sauce. You were lucky. I live in Cornwall where we must have the country's most expensive fish and chips, my nearest is £17 just for a regular fish and chips. When I go to London, I can't believe how cheap take aways are. So on that basis I agree with you, I might get some today and put them on the barbie.

It's around 12 quid with a nectar card, get one if you plan more Sainsbuty's visits, I have not tried this yet, thanks for reviewing.

Wow 3 years already. I'm been following you since the start. Another brilliant review matey. mind you no way that serves four.

That looked very tasty I would definitely have for treat Best wishes gareth

You would think Sainsburys could spell 'thoroughly' properly @2:55.

Good BBQ is good BBQ, it can't be faked.

Great to hear your appreciation of David's excellent gift again 👍Looks very nice but even split over 3 meals It's still too expensive for me. Minted lamb shanks all the way for me 😛

£16 might seem expensive, but you do get 1.4kg. lamb chops in Morrisons are £15 a kilo, so not so bad if you consider it's been pre smoked and cooked.

By the time you add 2 or 3 side salad dishes and lettuce that would be more than enough to eat without worrying about cholesterol or obesity. Perfect portion for 4 people. At the end of the day a bbq is usually a treat so the cost is in proportion.

Wouldn't serve four in my house😂, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at that price

I saw this in Sainsbury’s this we and took a double take! I don’t think it’s enough for 4 people! And to be honest I wasn’t prepared to pay £16 for it. Good review as always. 😃👍

Even fort 2 people (and a bit left for a sandwich the next day) its not bad if its that good, £8 a head plus maybe a corn on the cob and a side salad. Or 2 meals for 2 so a measly £4 a head. For me its not just the price, if its good its worth paying, its when its expensive and rubbish that i really get annoyed at.

It’s a big un! Sorry, i love a good innuendo 😂

Thank you for that. It sounded delicious…but was it value for the money? I like VFM. I think I may dodge this for as a serving for 4 ..the Hubster would woof it down as one portion.

With the plastic wrappers I use I one test, if it crispy it doesn't go in the recycle bin, soft or hard does. Half decent meat especially slow cooked it opens your eyes to the normal rubbish supermarkets sell us. Sixteen quid mind that's got to be a Christmas one.

Is that hair see-through colour? If it were me I’d have chosen the dark brown.

Most of us are willing to shell out a bit extra for a "luxury" meal now and then if we have a few quid to spare. We all deserve a little treat occasionally. 👍

The BBQ Beef Platter certainly looks good and by Gareth's taste reaction afterwards, he appeared to give it a strong thumbs up; but £16 is in my opinion is out of reach for many people, especially those who are on a tight budget. I wouldn't dream of buying this food product, but as a one off treat for sharing with another person, then I can almost justify it's expensive price tag. You could serve 4 people with the amount of beef you get from the platter but they'll be very small portions, the box should really say: Serves 2-3 because that is a more realistic figure.

I’ve never heard of a burnt end! Looks lovely though

GarethWould have that between 2 people so £8 each same as a takeaway for one size steak so could live with that. Not something most people would buy every week but as a treat not too expensive maybe twice a year

You could get a joint of Brisket from Lidl for £10/12 cooked in Guinness in a slow cooker with a Knorr stock pot and use the stock to make the gravy and it would do 4 people. Most probably tasted nice but £16 for what you get they are having a laugh.

Soft plastic can be recycled. Tesco have collection points

Gareth it’s only £10.66 currently if you have a Nectar Card. So why not sign up for it? No point in saying it’s a rip off when you could purchase it much cheaper than paying the normal price for the same item.

But don’t worry about selling of your own personal data signing up to a loyalty card for a supermarket, yes you will be getting hit with a lot of emails but you can choose to read them or ignore them and you rule your own wallet or purse strings and you choose to where you want to shop at a time it suits you.
