Your perfect BBQ moment for the World Cup

It doesn’t start with the kickoff. But with the first thought of your barbecue evening. With recipe ideas. Fresh ingredients. The scent of herbs. Garlic. Flavours.

A successful BBQ is not about perfection, but about the little details: maybe a butter board is on the table instead of herb butter. Instead of lemon mint water, there’s peach rosemary sparkling water. And on the table, summery dips and creative side dishes are ready.

With the right preparation, a football evening becomes a culinary experience you enjoy together. Step by step. Moment by moment.

Planning

With the right planning for the perfect barbecue evening

If you're prepared, you can truly enjoy the evening later on.

That’s why your BBQ starts with the planning. Invite guests. Write a shopping list. Work out the right amount of drinks and food.

How much do you need per person?

Food for the grill per person

  • Adults: 150–250 g meat
  • Children: 80–150 g meat

Side dishes per person

  • 100–150 g salad per person
  • 100–150 g potato or pasta salad
  • ½ baguette or flatbread per guest
  • 50 - 80 g dips/sauces

The preparation

For a great BBQ, you need the right dips and sauces

After shopping, you start with the prep.

Especially practical: many dips, sauces and marinades can be prepared the day before. That way, they develop their full flavour overnight.

A spicy dip. A smoky BBQ sauce. Just a few well-prepared basics are enough to make your barbecue buffet varied.

The preparation

Marinades - little effort, lots of flavour

A good marinade brings flavour to the grill.

If you prep meat, grilling cheese or vegetables the night before, you save time on match day. And later you can focus fully on your guests and the football.

Important: Seal the ingredients airtight and leave them to marinate overnight in the fridge. That way, the herbs, spices and oils develop their full flavour.

Bold, fresh, homemade: 3 marinades for your BBQ

The preparation

Summer side dishes that surprise

The best BBQ sides are often the simplest.
Grilled vegetables. Crispy potatoes. Warm corn on the cob straight from the grill. Plus fresh salads with summery ingredients.

Even small ideas can make familiar classics more exciting.

The classic potato salad becomes a Mediterranean delight with olives and feta. Leafy salad is elevated with apricots. Cashew nuts add a nutty note to the asparagus salad.

It doesn't take much to surprise your guests with great food.

The Serving

Make your BBQ buffet a visual highlight

Small details make all the difference. And your BBQ buffet instantly looks more inviting and summery.

Serve dips & sauces beautifully
  • Don’t just put dips in bowls - use the back of a spoon to create a swirled finish
  • top with chili oil, crispy chili, sesame, or roasted nuts
  • instead of classic butter, serve a modern "butter board" - perfect for dipping with warm bread or grilled vegetables
  • use small labels or flags
On a rustic table, a Fissler stainless steel pitcher and elegant glasses are filled with sparkling water, peach slices, and fresh rosemary. Around them lie vibrant fruit and a small chalkboard in the background—an inviting setting that highlights Fissler’s tradition of precision-engineered design and timeless German quality.
Keep salads fresh & enhance them
  • Serve dressings separately with leafy salads
  • Set up a finishing station: offer toasted seeds, crispy onions, or Parmesan crisps for extra crunch so guests can help themselves
  • Use temperature contrasts, e.g. cold burrata salad with warm grilled vegetables

Create a summery BBQ atmosphere
  • Use rosemary or basil as table decorations
  • Instead of classic lemon-mint water, offer a more unusual option: peach and rosemary sparkling water
  • Use colourful bowls with grilled vegetables, corn, or tomatoes
  • And most importantly: create the right football atmosphere with flags, jerseys, and bunting

Cleaning

As the evening slowly winds down

The game is over. The conversations grow quieter. The grill is still gently glowing. Now the last part of the evening begins.

As the Cleaning slowly begins, that exact feeling remains: a full table, good food, and shared moments with friends and family.

Tipps for relaxed Cleaning after the BBQ
  • Clean the grill grate while it is still slightly warm
  • Refrigerate leftover dips, sauces, and salads straight away
  • Quickly rinse grill tongs, knives, and bowls so nothing dries on
  • Simply put stainless steel Cookware in the dishwasher
  • Clean coated pans and grill plates by hand
  • Sort drink crates, glasses, and bottles right away
