What a weekend. ❤️🔥

MEAT UP 2026 is done… and honestly, I’m still trying to take it all in.

There are so many people who deserve a massive thank you — every chef, butcher, farmer, demo host, vendor, sponsor, volunteer, contractor and everyone who came along and made the place what it was.

But I want to give a very special thank you to the people behind the scenes at Millington Hall Farm.

The people who were there long before the gates opened, and stayed long after the last person left.

The planning. The phone calls. The emails. The site builds. The logistics. The problem solving. The early mornings, late nights and all the little things nobody sees that make an event like this actually happen.

MEAT UP might have been the big idea, but it was the team at Millington Hall Farm who got behind it, pushed it forward and turned it into something real.

To everyone who played their part — thank you.

And to everyone who came, cooked, traded, demonstrated, sponsored, volunteered, supported and simply turned up…

you made MEAT UP what it was.

This is only the beginning.

A rare evening of actually cooking for myself after the madness of MEAT UP! 😂

I fired up the Monolith Grill UK & Ireland 🇬🇧🇮🇪 with some of the Spanish Holm Oak charcoal from Globaltic | Sustainable Charcoal UK — I’ve got to say, I’m seriously impressed with this stuff. Great heat, lovely flavour and it burns beautifully.

I had some spring lamb cutlets that the catering butcher _liam had hooked me up with, so I’d marinated them in yoghurt and an Eastern-style rub from Spice maestro

Fat cap down first to get that rendering nicely, then just a few minutes either side over the heat. Enough to get that proper char on the outside while keeping the middle beautifully blushing.

A simple salad with honey mustard dressing, mint, sour cream and a few little extras to go alongside it.

Hands-on, messy, ridiculously tasty BBQ. Pretty much exactly what I fancied.
Not much thought, combo’s I knew worked, stress free and easy!

And after a manic few weeks, sitting outside with an ice-cold Damm Lemon and absolutely nowhere to be?

Perfect start to a week off. 🔥

What’s your favourite cut of lamb to throw on the BBQ?

WOW… it’s finally here! 🔥

It’s Friday, which means it’s officially MEAT UP Festival weekend!

Before the gates open and the madness begins, I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s made this happen.

The team at and .hall.farm have put in an unbelievable amount of work behind the scenes over the last few months. The owners, staff, volunteers and everyone who’s mucked in have absolutely grafted to create what promises to be an incredible weekend of BBQ, live fire cooking, great food and good people.

I’m genuinely proud to be a small part of it.

If you’re coming along this weekend, make sure you come and say hello. There’ll be amazing chefs, pitmasters, BBQ demonstrations, live fire cooking, fantastic food and plenty going on all weekend.

Safe travels to everyone making the journey, and let’s make this one to remember. See you around the fire! 🔥

Absolutely loving this weather at the minute, we’ve left those uncomfortable 35c days behind, and rocking the late 20’s is the perfect climate in my book!
In light up my grills all year round, but you can’t beat it when the sun is shining!
On Sunday I recreated a dish from the Firefly BBQ class I hosted this week, which was a blast.
Alabama chicken, with a luscious, creamy green slaw, pickles and some grilled honey halloumi!
Perfect for the warm weather and absolutely delicious!
What’s your summer go to?

LET’S GO! 🔥

There are a handful of brands I genuinely trust, both personally and in my day-to-day cooking at Millington Hall Farm, and I’ll probably be giving a few of them a shout-out over the next week or so.

Not because they’ve asked me to, and not because I’m being paid to — simply because I use them, I rate them, and I think they’re flipping good.

Leviathan and Globaltic are right up there for me. Two brilliant brands that clearly care about what they do, and having been lucky enough to chat with the people behind them, I can honestly say that comes across first-hand.

Of course, BBQ choices and fuel choices are always personal. Everyone has their own favourites, their own setup, and their own way of cooking — and that’s exactly what makes this community so good.

I’ll never tell anyone what they should be cooking on, but I’m always happy to share what I’m cooking on, what I’m using, and what I think of it.

So, while getting this beast ready for the 1415 Asado class — and after cooking on it plenty myself recently — I thought I’d have a bit of a waffle about why I’m enjoying it so much.

Take a second and give your favourite BBQ, fire or fuel brands a shout-out below. Who deserves some love? 🔥
