Groby couple sizzle in BBQ Championships A Groby couple have achieved notable success in several Barbecue Championships. Scott Lane and his wife Lyndsey are an American style ‘Low and Slow’ BBQ caterer and competition team. They set up early last year, mainly to see how they fared in competition. Scott says: “In our first competition in May we came third overall in the UK, and won 1st in Beef Brisket. “We bettered that achievement in June, at the British BBQ society competition in Tongham, Surrey, by coming 2nd overall, and coming 1st in Pork, 1st in dessert, and 2nd in Beef Brisket. “Our finals were held at the Rudgewick steam and country show in August. The winner of the series was to receive a chance to compete in the Jack Daniels World Championships in October in Lynchburg Tennessee. U.S.A. “We missed out by a few points to someone with over 25 years experience at this style of cooking, and were crowned U.K. Reserve Grand Champions. Again winning 1st in Pork, 2nd in Ribs, 2nd in Chicken, 2nd in Ready Steady Q, and 3rd in Dessert. “Following our success we were kindly asked by the winner to assist him in the World Championships in Tennessee. Although the team overall scored poorly we came 12th in the world in Pork and 46th in Chicken.” Scott and Lyndsey have now started a catering company – Miss Piggy’s, specialising in bbq parties and hog roasts.
