First one out as FOURGE, and it hit hard.
Not behind a screen. Not just talking BBQ. Actually stood there, shoulder to shoulder, smoke in the air, fire lit, crew together.

Four lads. One flame.
The Big BBQ Community Cookout gave us the perfect place to step out properly as FOURGE, and the reception honestly blew us away. The chats, the feedback, the support, the people asking what we’re building, tasting the graft, and getting what this is all about.
And seeing people walking around in FOURGE hoodies, T-shirts and baseball caps? That made us tingle a bit inside. No shame in saying it.
But the real icing on the cake was meeting some of our Founders. The first 50 who back the FOURGE Founders Box and help fuel this from the start. We’ve sold 25 so far, which means there are only 25 Founder spots left for anyone who wants to be part of it before they’re gone.
Those people aren’t just customers. They’re FOURGE family forever.
The menu got plenty of love too. FOURGE links with pineapple relish, lamb crostini, lamb with mint and Parmesan vinaigrette, pineapple shredded pork collar, smoked lamb taco with feta and tzatziki, SPARK chicken with Carolina sauce, and Carolina brisket burnt ends. Proper live-fire graft.
And one thing kept coming up.
Andy’s Carolina sauce.
He was testing it on the day, and the feedback was ridiculous. People wanted to buy it there and then. That’s when you know something’s got legs.
So stay tuned. We’ve got an idea . . .
This is bigger than rubs, meat, merch, or menus. It’s about UK BBQ, community, giving back, and building something real.
Massive respect to everyone who came over, showed love, shared food, shook hands, talked smoke, wore the badge, and made us feel like we’re building something that matters.
This was the first one. Plenty more fire to come. 🔥
P.S. Big thanks to for sending Lee over some of his drone footage to use in this video. Proper community move. 🙌
