The Philosophy

Barbeque is a form of cooking using only wood and charcoal.

At ROCKLANDS we use red oak and hickory
- no gas or electricity -
to cook our meats, fish and poultry.

preparing and seasoning them by hand. Then they are skillfully
smoked and grilled using our unique process resulting in
