The Event
Australia's biggest BBQ moment
On Sunday 7 June 2026, 400+ participants will cook simultaneously at Zestiny Farm on the Central Coast — attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the world's largest BBQ cooking lesson. Each station cooks a farm-fresh veggie burger using the Zestiny Box: a pre-portioned ingredient kit direct from the farm. An on-site Guinness adjudicator witnesses and verifies the attempt live.

The Bigger Picture
More than an event
The Big BBQ is the beginning of an annual series. The world record attempt is the centrepiece — but it's also a launchpad. Saturday's Harvest Festival at Zestiny Farm serves as the live dress rehearsal, meaning by Sunday the operation is already proven and refined.
Partners who come in at the founding event get ground-floor recognition that carries into every future edition. This isn't a one-day sponsorship — it's the start of something.
