🌿 Native herbs. Local flavour. Truly versatile.
Looking for a seasoning that captures the taste of Aotearoa? Rum & Que Homegrown is your go-to herbaceous blend, packed with native New Zealand botanicals like kawakawa, horopito, and NZ thyme. Whether you're firing up the BBQ, roasting a Sunday lamb, or giving your veg a lift—this rub brings clean, bold, and unmistakably Kiwi flavour to every dish.
👨🍳 Why Choose Homegrown?
Mass-market rubs rely on sugar and artificial smoke to stand out—Homegrown does the opposite. It’s a clean-label, all-natural rub designed around the deep, earthy essence of the NZ bush. Let’s face it... Kiwis know (and love) their lamb, and this rub brings out the best in it with native herbs that enhance without overpowering. With zero MSG, no gluten, and full versatility across meats, veg, and even soups, it’s the ultimate lamb rub for food lovers who want more than just salt and spice.

🤔Who is Sydney BBQs❓
Meet Erik & Suzie, the dynamic duo behind Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries!
Our journey began in 2019, amidst the whirlwind of early parenthood. We decided to embark on a little side venture, leveraging our shared passion of BBQ. Having grown up with family BBQs, almost on a weekly basis, charcoal and sizzling grills felt like old friends to us.Our humble beginnings saw us selling charcoal from the confines of our garage. To our surprise, the demand was huge, with pallet loads flying off the shelves faster than we could stock them. It was clear we had stumbled upon something special. Fast forward five years, and our little side gig has blossomed into a comprehensive online emporium. From charcoal to rubs, grills to rotisseries, and an array of accessories including spit baskets, gyro discs, skewers, gloves, smoker tubes, and beyond, we've got all your BBQ needs covered.But it doesn't stop there. With loyal customers all over Australia, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: The grand opening of our very own shopfront. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our BBQ community. Here's to many more years of sizzling success!
We’ve built Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries with passion, and our customers have been a huge part of that journey. See what they say about us!
