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.
@@christianbuczko1481 Except its not. He weighed it at 1000g after cooking, including the bones. You can probably deduct another 50g to 100g for bones. 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.
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 👍
I would like to thank you for doing these reviews of food whether it be cheap or expensive. As someone living on just a pension it pays to shop around but you save me time and money doing these reviews. Thanks again 👍. You gained a subscriber.
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.
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.
The weight includes the jouces you poured off. Such meals are intended to be about 1/3 to 1/4 of your daily calories, you would normally have carbs with a meal.
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 😂
Hi Gareth, just been to Sainsburys to get one. They are now selling for £14 or £9.33p if you have a nectar card. Can't wait to try ours and yours looked scrummy.
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 😛
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great review Gaz you would expect the tray to be full for 4 people and 4 ribs at least it tasted nice which is always a plus and keep up with your great tasting 👍👍
Great review Gaz, it probably does serve 4 if you were to add sides eg mash, chips, rice or veg...looks very tasty though i must say, i'll have to pop down to Sainsburys and get this in time for the bbq weather!
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. 😃👍
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.
"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 😉.
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 👍
It'd have to be for special occasions only I'm afraid, like royal visits or meeting an alien ambassador or similar. As delicious as it looked £16 is a bit rich for me. Shame really, I love BBQ anything really. Perhaps they ought to do half the size for £8.
Interested to see how people on a budget eating habits will be affected by the government changes coming up. I think some people will have to learn to cook for themselves to save the extra cash.
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.
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.
@@BaldFoodieGuy I know some people are saying it’s like selling your own data to big companies but think of it like this , if you have a family and on a tight budget these cards are great because you save £££’s over a length of time saving up the points etc and instantly money off. 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. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying oh right it’s time you bought more stuff from us. It doesn’t happen you as the consumer is in control.
I always have a chuckle when I see those labels claiming to be so "proud" that the beef is from Britain, as if they want you to know that British beef is superior. It isn't. You can get far superior quality in other countries at far lower prices.
I use my slow cooker and do short ribs and brisket with BBQ rub and glaze and normally let them cook on low for 6 to 7 hours and they are delicious and you can put a slow cooker on or crock pot as the Americans say and leave it while your away once home yum yum 😂😂
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.
16 quid I'll pass on that I'm off on Friday to an Indian restaurant all the trimmings 22 quid rather pay the extra 6 quid for a sit down meal I don't have to cook, thanks for the review anyway 😊
How the other half lives. Me and my wife can feed ourselves for 16 quid for best part of a week for that money. Can't remember the last time I had beef. My tea tonight is a Chicken and Bacon slice from the reduced shelf (76p) and oven chips with half a can of mushy peas. It'll be nice but probably not much more than a quid's worth.
I would buy some meat and cook it first and finish it off on the Charcoal Barbeque !!! I've also got an Indoor Barbeque which is an Electric Sealed Pot which burns some Wood Chips, eg Hickory and gives a Barbeque flavour and thoroughly cooks the Meat, like a Slow Cooker. The big Danger of using a Charcoal Babeque is not Cooking the Meat Thoroughly. That's why I cook the Meat First and just Brown it off on a Barbeque !!!
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
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. 👍
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.
I'm spot on thanks Gaz that looked OK bud and like you said a bit of treat and I think it would be blinding on a barbecue for 2 not 4 any hue top draw 👌😋💪😉
Plenty in it for £16 i think... and probably would serve 4, add a few chips maybe.... or Rice.... 1 quater of that would be enough for me....worth the cash as a Family meal :)

if you got a nectar card its £10 so thats not too bad better then 16 lol
I would NOT pour off the juices! If anything, save the juices to make a gravy, perhaps for another, separate meal.
Careful with the Platters the smoke can get in your eyes
HaHa! Silly boy!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I see what you did there. Or I did before the smoke.....
Groooooooooooooooooooooan🙄

The lamb tagine from the same range at Sainsburys is amazing, have had it twice in the last couple of weeks.

Serves 2 I would think. False advertising or they are portions for children. 😊😊. Dry would suit me. I don’t like gravy.

At 12:05 my wife thought i was watching porn with those noises.
It’s a little bit dry! 😂😂😂
But tasty 😂
And were you?!
It is, it's food porn.
Porn isn't quite the same when it's all, "Gary, yev got me nightie trapped in yer chest 'arness!" in a Cumbrian accent.
Thank goodness! I literally bought one of these a couple of days ago, with nectar discount (£10?). Looking forward to it even more now 👍
The weight includes the jouces you poured off. Such meals are intended to be about 1/3 to 1/4 of your daily calories, you would normally have carbs with a meal.
£16? That's a ridiculous price and as it claims to serve 4 no way unless they had miniscule appetites just enough in there for 2 people at the most
It’s £10 with a nectar card. Nobody is paying £16
Standard Tesco beef brisket joint is £11 per KG, so this (precooked with sauce) isn't much more at £16 for 1.4 KG
I've lived in Spain for the last 11 years. Made a trip back to the UK last year. First time over since 2019. Prices have gone up so much in that time.
These are cheap cuts of meat.... not worth it.... but it from the butcher and make it yourself...... quite easy if you have the time....
@@aleclinley5136 Waste of time you could spend working.
Thank you for spreading your wings to Sainsbury's Gareth!
Yes three vegetarians and me🤣
Too bloody true barely enough to feed a mouse 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome, I always shop Sainsbury, never seen this, yet, but will eyes out for this, imagine with home made garlic Chiappetta
Now, this is my kinda scram 😍 great choice. Thanks. I definitely will be buying this, but just for myself 😅 that ain't feeding 4ppl 😂

I think David has been thanked enough for the scales by now mate.
Haha, I’d be disappointed after all this time if Gaz didn’t name check David 😂🤣
Not nearly enough!
Legend has it.. David started his own scales manufacturing company 😂
What a really informative review Gareth... Glad you are treating yourself to a fantastic meal... A bit expensive but you get top quality products.
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❤
Hi Gareth, just been to Sainsburys to get one. They are now selling for £14 or £9.33p if you have a nectar card. Can't wait to try ours and yours looked scrummy.
Oh great mate that's cheaper
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 😛

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.
£16? I could dine out for that 😂😂😂. Once again, thanks for these reviews. You are saving people a fortune ❤❤❤
It’s a bargain at £10 with a nectar card. Eat in and save a fortune
I’d could eat that on my own let alone serve four lol. Great vid Gareth.
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.
Price not too bad considering what you get. You certainly seemed to enjoy it! Keep up the good work mate.

It works out fairly cheap if split over a few days...

Cheers Peter
Oo my husband wanted to buy that ! I will let him know your thoughts and thanks for sharing
After that Lidl Hot Dog sandwich of a few days ago I think you deserve a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good BBQ is good BBQ, it can't be faked.
£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.
should of got it for £10 with a nectar card my man ! im going to give this a try thanks for the video
Great review Gaz, it probably does serve 4 if you were to add sides eg mash, chips, rice or veg...looks very tasty though i must say, i'll have to pop down to Sainsburys and get this in time for the bbq weather!
You would think Sainsburys could spell 'thoroughly' properly @2:55.
Worth every penny. Slow cooked meat is so good.
Was tasty
It looks absolutely delicious! Im definatly going to try this!😋😋😋😋
A bit too dear for our purse, but I bet that was good😍 Thanks for trying it, Gareth🥰
You’re welcome 😊
That looked very tasty
I would definitely have for treat
Best wishes gareth
Good lad. Cracking review - I need to try it now. (Thanks for your brilliant videos 😊)
No problem 👍
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. 😃👍
It’s £10 with nectar you nutcase and is massive
I’d consider paying half.
For £10.66 nectar price its really good, i do hope you didnt pay the full £16 for it.

Its good but like you said no alot mybe abetter deal at butchers.
It seems expensive but compared to the price of a takeaway for 2 people, I’d say it’s pretty reasonable. With some wraps and coleslaw, lovely
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
Interested to see how people on a budget eating habits will be affected by the government changes coming up. I think some people will have to learn to cook for themselves to save the extra cash.
I have something called liquid smoke, you add it to fried meat for the last few min cooking, tastes like smokey grill , wood fired.
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.

£16,nearly fainted GAZ 😂😂❤❤❤
Wouldn't serve four in my house😂, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at that price
Me and wife just had this,amazing amd worth £16 imo,potion of fries on the side.😊
No doubt £16 is pricey and no way that feeds 4. But as a treat now and again that looked quite good to be fair. Problem is I’d eat the lot to myself.

Soft plastic can be recycled. Tesco have collection points
Looks good
Plenty in it for £16 i think... and probably would serve 4, add a few chips maybe.... or Rice.... 1 quater of that would be enough for me....worth the cash as a Family meal :)
They left off X4 pygmies 😂.. great vid.. Beans on toast for the rest of the week ❤
that looks lovely cheers
I think £16 is a good price for that amount of food as long as it's good quality.
Doing a proper "pit style" barbecue is no walk in the park. It takes quite a few years to master the technique.
im off to sainsburys 🤣 looks great
