Throw another burger on the grilla
Sam Hendley has a passion for outdoor cooking and his new burger van, Grill Monkeys, is a chance to share his food with the people of Carlisle.
As the weather warms up Grill Monkeys will offer something different as the menu expands to include smoked meats and chicken wings alongside the old favourites.
“I really love barbequing with charcoal’ said Sam. “We plan to be a mini focal point over the summer where people can get together. You can also pre-order a chicken for your Sunday dinner and I’ll smoke it for you to pick up.”
Grill monkeys already have an extensive menu that includes burgers, hot dogs, spice burgers and fries. They specialise in a cooked breakfast that has gone down very well with the local tradies.
It was the tradesmen who were the first to discover this culinary maverick who can be found right beside Wickes Builders Merchant in Carlisle.
”We look, smell and sound like a burger van,” said Sam. “But we’re much more than that. We source the finest meat and with touches like brioche buns we provide restaurant quality food without the price tag.”
Don’t be shy to ask if you want something different, Sam is more than happy to cook anything if he has the ingredients to hand.
Expect to see Grill Monkeys out and about over the year as they set up shop at a range of festivals and local shows. You may also find Sam busy cooking at charity events where he is always happy to volunteer his time, and van, to cook for the homeless.
“I’m always happy to help out where I can, that’s why I offer free brews for emergency crews, the police, NHS Staff, veterans and the homeless. I have a military background and family that work in the NHS, I know how tough it can be and it’s a small thing I can give back.”
Grill Monkeys is open everyday except Monday and with the bacon and burgers frying alongside the charcoal smokers all you have to do is follow your nose to find them.
