Professional Fire,
Personal Touch
My service is designed for hosts who love to be part of the process. While you and your guests relax and prepare your favourite signature side dishes, I take full command of the fire.
I handle the critical fire management and technical cookery, ensuring every premium cut is executed with professional precision.
You provide the sides — I provide the masterpiece.
The Secret Starts
with Provenance
I exclusively source all meat from a trusted local butcher who rears and slaughters their own 100% grass-fed cattle right here in Norfolk. The difference is unmistakeable on the plate.
Experience the complex, "beefy" richness of cattle raised slowly on lush local pastures — a depth that simply cannot be replicated by intensively farmed alternatives.
I wood-fire this "Butcher's Secret" to a succulent medium-rare and serve it with my vibrant, homemade Chimichurri — the ultimate fresh, herby pairing for rich, grass-fed beef.
From the pasture to your plate, every cut carries a story rooted in this remarkable coastal county.
I Don't Leave
Perfection to Chance
While most properties have a BBQ available, I bring my own curated arsenal — the same equipment I've refined over years at the fire.
I carry a carefully selected range of my own grills, chosen to suit the group size and the specific demands of each location. Every setup is intentional.
My own small-batch artisanal charcoal, specifically crafted to reach the intense temperatures required for the perfect hot-and-fast reverse sear. Store-bought doesn't compare.
For that authentic BBQ aesthetic, I use seasoned cherry wood to create a stunning, deep-pink smoke ring and a subtle, sweet aroma that perfumes the whole table.
"Skip the restaurant reservations — bring North Norfolk's finest heritage beef to your table."— Gavin Ball, Steel Smokin
The Theatre
of the Grill
From show-stopping Tomahawks to delicate Fillets, I manage the embers using professional two-zone techniques — the same methods used by the finest open-fire kitchens.
Every cook is a performance. The crack of the fire, the sizzle of the sear, the smoke curling into the evening air — it's an experience, not just a meal.
While I manage the heat, I love to share tips on wood-fired techniques and the story of each cut — from the local farm all the way to your plate.
