Sometimes y'all just need a reminder how good our Brisket is.

A texas stye rub makes this all about front-foot flavour with big beefiness thrown in for good measure.

Now taking bookings for spring & summer 2026

Be honest....Gammon with a fried egg is?...for me a must

Not everything has to be smoked for 12hrs, but with Gammon it certainly helps!

Proper classic midweek meal fit for a king! Smoked Gammon panfried in butter in the griddle, boiled potatoes and bright greens on a lake of parsley sauce so big it needed its own lifeguard!

Pie? Apparently not!!

Slide 1 - Dinner took a turn tonight....

Slide 2 - Then the kids announced - despite loving it in the past - "don't like pie and mash"

Like if you LOVE PIE & MASH - I mean who doesn't!

Slide 3 - so we changed it up and pie filling became....

Slide 4 - a silky bowl of Alfredo-ish Turkey, Ham & sweetcorn with Penne!

Slide 5 - and honestly, bowls of yum come out of necessity!

Chicken & Tomatoes

Such a heavenly combination, that gives us the comfort of a big hug in this miserable weather, but also reminds us that warmer days are nearly here.

This is one of our many catering dishes that hit the mark when cooking for a crowd that needs feeding something tasty and delicious. Browned chicken legs, with a sprinkling of roasted fennel seeds, are roasted on a bed of onions, jammy tomatoes and oregano. Served with toothsome rice and clean cut broccoli.

Butter Chicken & Saag Paaneer

Mid Winter was given some warmth with a Saturday night fakeaway, and the results were so much better, even in an Indian Hot Spot like Tooting.

Marinating chicken thigh pieces in spices, yoghurt and Lemon juice helped to tenderise and get flavours deep set, before chargrilling on our plancha to help give everything a smokey flavour. A spicy tomato based sauce welcomed the charred chicken to simmer away until a delightful rendolent sauce formed with a small addition of butter.

A creamy saag paneer cut the richness of the butter chicken with some lovely pilau rice.

Top Tip: get yourself down to your local curry house and just get a couple of Naan's - supermarket or home made ones just cant do what the can do with a proper tandoor - your oven doesnt get hot enough - pop in the oven on a low temp till ready to eat.

Gullah Geechee Beef Pot Roast.

A dish rooted in the coastal South — slow-cooked with respect, built from scratch, and plated with care.

The Gullah Geechee people shaped a cuisine that carries memory, resilience, and deep flavour. This pot roast is our way of honouring that tradition here in London.

White Beans & Pork Chops

Post Christmas feasting doesnt really stop as we move into Carnival Season......more on which tomorrow.......

But we kept things fairly humble and straight forward with seasoned pork chops served on a bed of slow white beans and broccoli with a ring of messy greens and a mound of mushrooms.

Christmas Turkey & Ham

We're still stuck on the sofa after all the Christmas feasting. We had a delicious smoked Turkey and Ham for our lunch and just about managed to get a couple of snaps before it all started to be devoured. Our Turkey was brined Southern style in sweet tea and hot sauce, and big big thanks to the delicious smoked Ham from our friends at - it was simply stunning!

We hope all had a marvellous Christmas with you and yours. Thank you to all of you following us, liking and supporting us, it really does mean a lot, and an even bigger thank you to those who have enjoyed our dishes and eaten our food too. Knowing its all appreciated makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Enjoy the rest of the festivities and we look forward to cooking for y'all in 2026.

Christmas & Birthday Feasting

We're now thick in the middle of Christmas Party season, but we were delighted to help feed this hungry crowd at an 18th Birthday Party. Piles of Smoked BBQ Chicken were enjoyed with lashings and lashings of Mac & Cheese, and hopefully some green beans and slaw to help make sure something wholesome was on the plate. A pile of vanilla cake with Poured Caramel helped to finish things off.

We're putting up the wooden spoons and BBQ Tongs at the end of this week for a well earned rest and would like to thank all of those that we've fed this year. Knowing how much you enjoy it all makes all the hard work worth while! Thank you!

We look forward to feeding y'all in 2026!

Thanksgiving Dinner -----Read on-----👇👇👇

It was wonderful celebrate with so many wonderful people last week. It was an amazing, if exhausting couple of days. Getting photos on the day is always a bit tricky, but I did snag this picture of this unbelievably good plate of yum. We're still running this menu until before Christmas if you want a tasty twist on seasonal favourites.

* Homemade Cranberry Sauce - so easy and straightforward, and smashed anything from a jar out the park.

* Sweet tea brined smoked Turkey - juicy, succulent and goddarn tasty - brining is really a step you can't miss

* Sausage & Sage Stuffing - with traditional sausages from it was always going to be a winner. Will be on my Christmas table

* "Winter" Succotash - homesick Americans couldn't get enough of this!

* 4hrs Slow Cooked Green Beans - nothing like your mothers boiled to death veg, with off the chart levels of umani

* Three Cheese Mac & Cheese - gets inhaled, just don't ask how much cheese we use

* Sweet Potato Puree - worth the meal ticket alone!

A massive thank you to everyone that has helped make this year such a success. Its been a hard few years building this baby but it's ultimately been a wonderful experience. Here's hoping to even more in 2026!

Roast Beef

It doesn't quiet feel like a Sunday without a roast dinner, and with it feeling more and more Autumnal it's feeling much more appropriate than in the middle of a hot hot summer.

We didn't quiet go for all the traditional trimmings, but with spiced roast potatoes, cheesey asparagus, buttered spinach and corn it was a surefire winner.

Smothered Pork Chops

You can't beat a decent pork chop! And these were twice as nice as they were coated in cajun spices before being smothered in a green pepper and onion gravy. The rice being perfect for mopping it all up😋😋😋
