BBQ & Live Fire Experiences
One of our founders, Wayne Smith, grew up surrounded by the tantalising aromas of cooking, learning the art of flavour from his late mother, Liz.
It was in her kitchen and back garden that Wayne’s passion for food was first ignited. A passion that has become the heart of Daddy Bear Grills.
Wayne picked up the love of cooking over fire through many years camping and burning his way through lots of gas bbq’s!
This is where he found his passion for using live fire and coals.
This passion saw Wayne become a finalist in the British Live Fire Cooking Championships where he competed on stage in the iconic Ludlow Castle.

Crafting with precision
Fire cooking isn’t chaos, it’s control. Every flicker, spark, and sear is deliberate. It takes focus, instinct, and a steady hand to craft bold flavours that hit hard and stay with you long after the flames die down.
Fire Stages
From castles to food festivals, I travel the country bringing the heat to live fire stages. Expect sparks, smoke, big flavours, and plenty of banter. This is BBQ entertainment that lights up every crowd.
Private Dining
Whether it’s an intimate supper or a special celebration, I’ll bring the woodland magic to you. Expect roaring flames, handcrafted dishes, and a dining experience that’s as personal as it is unforgettable.
Brand Partnerships
We collaborate with brands to create cinematic fire cooked content in our woodland studio. From product launches to recipe shoots, we bring your brand to life through authentic storytelling, smoke, and flame.
Love Of Cooking
My love of cooking started young and has only grown stronger with every flame. There’s something special about creating food that brings people together. It’s not just about eating, it’s about connection, memories, and moments that last.
