Billy Tannery Grill Tote

July 18, 20252 min read

Right, chaps, gather ’round, because if your idea of “roughing it” involves a slightly less-than-artisanal baguette, it’s time for an upgrade. Forget fumbling with supermarket charcoal and flimsy skewers; The Gent’s Gift Guide has stumbled upon a piece of kit so inherently cool, it practically sizzles with sophistication: the Billy Tannery Grill Tote, yours for a cool £1200.

Now, at first glance, you might think, “£1200 for a glorified picnic basket?” But hold your horses, or rather, your perfectly grilled venison. This isn’t just any tote; it’s a “dream collaboration” between leather legends Billy Tannery, blacksmith extraordinaire Alex Pole (who, we imagine, crafts steel while wrestling bears), and culinary wizard Gill Meller. It’s less a bag, more a portable culinary command centre.

Inside this glorious, bark-tanned deer leather beauty – sturdy enough for “life’s knocks and scrapes” (and presumably, rogue embers) – you’ll find a treasure trove of Dorset-forged goodness. We’re talking a hand-spun carbon steel frying pan, a lightweight grill, tongs, skewers, and even a handy knife. Because, let’s face it, your trusty Swiss Army knife just isn’t going to cut it when you’re channeling your inner primal chef.

Add in a leather fire mitt (because singed eyebrows are so last season) and a drawstring bag for your secret spice blend (or emergency marshmallows), and you’re ready to conquer any open flame. So, throw it over your shoulder, unleash your inner gourmet griller, and prepare to be the envy of every woefully under-equipped BBQ enthusiast.
