Al-Futtaim ACE is staging a series of free outdoor events this November to mark the start of the UAE’s grilling season, with BBQ Weekends planned at two of its stores.
The first takes place at ACE Yas Island on Saturday, November 7, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The second runs across the weekend of Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29 at ACE Dubai Festival City, from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Entry to both events is free.
Visitors can expect food tastings, live demonstrations and the chance to speak with representatives from Weber, Broil King, Char-Broil, Blackstone and Traeger.
Professional chefs will also be on hand to offer guidance on grilling techniques and equipment choices. Promotional offers across the full barbecue range will be available on both event weekends.
“At Al-Futtaim ACE, we believe outdoor cooking is about more than just preparing food. It’s about bringing family and friends together and making the most of the UAE’s outdoor season. Our BBQ Weekends give customers the opportunity to experience some of the world’s leading barbecue brands first-hand, discover different cooking techniques and receive expert advice on finding the right setup for their homes. Whether someone is purchasing their first barbecue or upgrading their outdoor kitchen, we want to make the experience enjoyable, informative and accessible,” David Elliott, General Manager of Al-Futtaim ACE said in a statement.
The store’s current barbecue range covers charcoal grills, gas grills, wood pellet smokers, electric grills and built-in options, with accessories starting from AED 40 and grills from AED 499. ACE has also added the Thor 4-Piece Modular Outdoor Kitchen Island to its in-store range, a four-module set designed to be configured as a full backyard cooking island.
The full range is stocked across ACE’s UAE locations, including Dubai Festival City, Dubai Festival Plaza, Dubai Hills Mall and Yas Island.
