About us
Hi my name is Simon, the tradie and home cook behind The Tradie BBQ. I am a family man from East Auckland, New Zealand. A residential builder with a huge passion for food.
My passion for cooking was gifted to me by my father, and my mission is to inspire my 2 kids to have a great relationship with food and for everyone to get out there and give bbq a crack.
Bbq with no limits I love taking inspiration and bouncing ideas off others as well as coming up with original ideas that push the boundaries of what goes on the grill. I love traditional bbq but it should be inclusive of everyone, whether vegan, carnivore or other, because after all - food is love.
Bbq is life. I love the flame. Its primal, and I’m infatuated. To me it’s not just about a style, but it’s what bbq represents. It's about family, friends, and community. You take what you have learnt, and you gift that to the next person. You share your dream and your passion and you open yourself up to people..We want to give our customers crisp, crunchy and delicious pickled vegetables and fruits. Most of all, we want to expand people’s palates and prove that pickles don’t always come in a green or red variety.
