About Riverside:

The Riverside Garden Centre has been established since 1997 and is owned and run by Russell and Jo Jeffery who take a very hands-on approach to every aspect of the business. They are always on hand to help and give advice.

Having moved away from being a more traditional garden centre over recent years and evolved into a modern outdoor living destination, Riverside now focuses more on quality and style than it ever did before.

LARGEST WEBER® WORLD BBQ SHOWROOM

Officially the UK's largest Weber® World Barbecue showroom Riverside stocks and displays every Weber® barbecue and accessory available from the small, portable charcoal models, the award winning Q™ range as well as the famous charcoal kettles and outstanding gas barbecues. As a World Store Riverside also stocks a number of exclusive barbecues and accessories not found in regular Weber® stores or outlets.

TRAEGER GRILLS

With the popularity of barbecuing and outdoor smoking growing at a phenomenal rate Riverside has become the 'go to' place for Traeger grills, pellets and accessories. Easier to use than a traditional barbecue a Traeger grill controls the cooking temperature for you and produces perfectly smoked food every time.

FURNITURE SHOWROOMS

Riverside likes to do things big and that includes their furniture ranges too.

With three large fully furnished showrooms bursting with big names including 4 Seasons Outdoor and Alexander Rose Riverside again offers the largest displays of both prestige brands anywhere to be seen in the UK. Be it dining, lounge or modular, virtually every product and set is on display and in stock at the Hertfordshire premises.

SILK PLANTS AND ARTIFICIAL WALL COVERING

To complement the furniture and outdoor living themes Riverside also specialise in high quality artificial plants and trees as well as UV protected foliage-covered screening panels. Particularly popular with interior designers, hotel chains and zoos Riverside's silks plants and wall panels have developed a good reputation both corporately and domestically.

SEE FOR YOURSELF

Everybody naturally will say good things about their own business but with 7-day-a-week opening and a fresh easy-to-use website Riverside happily encourage anyone to take a look round both in-store or online to see for themselves just how good Riverside is.

First time I fired up the smokey joe, I did the typical pyramid of briquettes and fire lighters combo. 90 minutes and 15 firefighters and a few sheets of newspaper later, I had the smoker ready. Second time, I used the chimney starter. 2 firefighters and 30 mins later, we were ready to cook. In short: get the chimney starter.

This was the first time I have used a chimney starter and I cannot believe what i have been missing out on! Makes lighting the BBQ and distributing the briquettes so muchs easier. Will also make it easier when needs to top them up. As for the briquettes they are brilliant. I used them to do a beer can chicken which turned out great. After 2 1/2 hours my BBQ was still holding a temp of over 200 degrees. These are by far the best briquettes I have used. I saw a review on here saying they produce a lot of ash. They do produce ash especially on a windy day but from what i have read this could be because these briquettes are 100% wood rather than having man-made/chemicals on them. They are brilliant!!!
