Daddy Bear Grills 2024 British Live Fire Cooking Finalist🔥 Kent’s Live Fire Cooking Experience Coming Spring 2025🔥

18/10/2026

People ask me, what is it like up on stage in front of people cooking???

Here is exactly what I see, thanks to my new glasses you can see everything from my point of view.

& Dave from the thought they were funny with my introduction to yesterday’s 2nd demo of the day😂

Great day was had cooking on the .uk & .uk at the Fire & Food Festival

Now for day 2 let’s go🔥

You can’t rush a fire. And that’s exactly why it makes better people.

No dial, no timer, no shortcut. You read the flames, feel the heat on your face, and wait until it’s ready. Not when you are. Twenty years in boxing taught me patience, but fire still tests it every single time.

Then something happens. The phones go away. People drift in and stand round it without being asked.

Strangers start talking. The quiet ones open up. Somebody always ends up feeding the fire like they’ve been doing it all their life.

I’ve watched blokes who swear they can’t cook a thing hand over their first plate of fire cooked steak, proud as punch. I’ve seen kids learn more about respect and responsibility from one evening by the fire than from a week of being told.

Because when you cook over fire, you’re never really cooking for yourself. You’re cooking for the people round it. You learn to pay attention, to be patient, to look after others and to take it on the chin when you get it wrong.

There’s nowhere to hide round a fire. No fancy kit doing it for you. Just you, the flames and whoever’s waiting to eat.

Give someone a fire and a bit of meat and you find out who they really are.

WHO SAID THE VEGGIE OPTION HAS TO BE BORING?!

We’re finishing our Fireworks Pop-Up Menu Series with an absolute beauty!

MAPLE GLAZED HALLOUMI & DIRTY ONION FLATBREAD!

And trust me, this one gives the meat options a serious run for their money!

Imagine thick slices of halloumi sizzling away on the Kadai, developing that gorgeous golden crust before being glazed with sweet, sticky maple syrup.

Golden, salty halloumi with that irresistible sticky sweetness.

Dirty onions cooked over the fire until beautifully soft, smoky and caramelised.

All piled into a warm, fluffy flatbread, fresh off the flames!

Sweet. Salty. Smoky. Sticky.

A proper explosion of flavour in every mouthful!

Because at Daddy Bear Grills, we believe everyone deserves incredible food cooked over REAL FIRE, whether you’re a meat lover or not!

SIZZLING STEAK, DIRTY ONIONS & CHIMICHURRI! 🥩

Now THIS is what I call proper street food!

We’re back with part two of our Fireworks Pop-Up Menu Series, and this one is an absolute belter!

Imagine this…

Beautifully seasoned steak hitting the screaming hot .uk grill, building that gorgeous crust while staying juicy and tender inside.

Onions getting all dirty over the fire, soaking up that incredible smoky flavour.

Fresh flatbreads warmed over the flames, ready to catch all those delicious juices.

Then we bring it all together with a generous spoonful of our homemade chimichurri for that fresh, punchy finish!

Juicy steak. Smoky onions. Soft flatbread. Proper flavour.

All cooked fresh, right in front of you, over REAL FIRE!

Forget standing around at the fireworks with a disappointing hot dog. We’re bringing you food that’s worth getting excited about!

SMASHED OVER FIRE. LOADED WITH FLAVOUR. ABSOLUTELY FILTHY! 🍔🔥

Forget your average greasy frozen burger van. We’re bringing some serious firepower to this year’s fireworks shows!

Over the next three reels, I’m showing you exactly what’s coming off our .uk firebowls at our upcoming Daddy Bear Grills pop-ups.

And we’re kicking things off with a proper crowd pleaser…

THE BABY BEAR & DADDY BEAR SMASH BURGERS! 🍔

Fresh beef smashed straight onto the screaming hot Kadai plancha, building that beautiful crispy crust while the fat sizzles away.

Melted cheese, toasted buns and all that juicy, beefy goodness packed into one ridiculously tasty burger.

🐻 BABY BEAR – A little smaller, but still packing a serious punch of flavour.

🐻 DADDY BEAR – Bigger, meatier and ready to sort out those proper appetites!

There’s something special about watching your food being cooked right in front of you, hearing that sizzle and smelling the smoke drifting through the air.

And when you’re standing outside watching fireworks on a chilly November evening, what could be better than getting your hands around one of these beauties?!

COME AND FIND US!

🎆 Sunday 1st November – Tonbridge Fireworks

🎆 Thursday 5th November – Crowborough Fireworks

We’ll be firing up the Kadai and serving proper, freshly cooked food throughout the events.

Who’s coming to see us, and more importantly… are you a BABY BEAR or a DADDY BEAR? 🐻👇

Keep your eyes peeled for the next two reels as we reveal what else is coming off the fire!

America’s arguing over who does the best barbecue.

A new list of America’s 50 best barbecue joints put Franklin Barbecue in Austin at the top, and it’s mostly Texas spots. Now the Carolina and Kansas City lot are fuming about it online.

Meanwhile we’re over here quietly cooking it.
In Britain we don’t have one style to defend, so we get to borrow the best bits from everywhere. Texas patience with brisket. Carolina vinegar with pork. Then we cook it over proper wood and charcoal with British meat from farms down the road.

No turf war. Just a fire, good meat and time.

Sunday morning full English breakfast, who’s game?

In my opinion this is what the .uk plancha was built for! Only joking, it has lots of uses, but the English breakfast fills it up, looks great and provides every aspect of the cook.

The hot plancha for the bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, tomatoes, beans and the table top grill perfect for the live fire to crisp the sausages and the pan for the eggs.

What are you cooking this morning?
