Where people come together, there’s a Christie barbecue.

Where people come together, there’s a Christie barbecue.

Remember some of your favourite times spent outside.

Maybe it was a family birthday at the park, a barbecue after a game, a holiday picnic by the beach, or a meal with neighbours and friends.

No matter who we are or where we’re from, sharing food is special. It brings people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds together. It initiates conversations, creates connections, and helps build communities.

That’s why Christie has been here for over 60 years.

We didn’t just want to build barbecues. We wanted to help create places where people can gather.

Even though life has changed, our purpose is still the same.

In today’s urbanised world, people come together in all kinds of places. Apartment rooftops, university campuses, hospitals, aged care homes, holiday parks, sports facilities, schools, and mining sites are all public spaces that help bring people together.

These places are more than just destinations. They’re where people connect, relax, celebrate, and feel like they belong.

As communities have evolved, so have the expectations that these shared spaces should be welcoming and accessible for everyone. They need to be safe, reliable, and built to last. Most of all, they should encourage people to spend time together. That’s why Christie keeps evolving.

Our trusted public barbecues provide solutions for many different places. We offer electric cooking where gas isn’t possible and designs that make outdoor cooking easy for everyone.

Every product is made with the same goal in mind: We’re here to create places where people connect.

Many people still think of a Christie barbecue in their local park, and we’re proud of that. But now, you’ll also find Christie in hospital gardens, on apartment rooftops, at university campuses, holiday parks, sports precincts, and in communities all over Australia. Because even though the places have changed, the reason people gather is still the same: to celebrate occasions, enjoy conversations, and strengthen personal connections.
