Born out of a deep love and passion for American BBQ and the culture that comes with it, Grillstock is about enjoying fantastic food, great drink and great tunes. The first Grillstock was in Bristol in 2010 but it has expanded significantly since then with several festivals a year. Grillstock has grown to include year-round smokehouse restaurants as well as the huge festival events and it is a massive celebration of all things American BBQ, with fantastic music on the side. The first Manchester Grillstock took place in 2013.
