This isn’t just BBQ. It’s real fire, real food and real storytelling, straight from the woods. We bring your product to life over open flames, filmed in our woodland fire kitchen at Liz’s Yard, Groombridge, Kent.
I’m Wayne, an ex boxing coach turned fire cooking storyteller. Daddy Bear Grills grew from a love of proper food, real people and what happens when fire meets flavour.
Today we run woodland cooking experiences at Liz’s Yard, Groombridge, Kent, cook at events and run the fire stage at festivals, and we film all of it.
Flavour over fluff
Real over polished
Connection over clicks
Our woodland fire kitchen
This isn’t a studio
Tucked away in the Kent countryside, our open air fire kitchen is built for content people can almost smell: smoke through the trees, cast iron sizzling over open flames, food cooked, eaten and shot for the story.
A natural woodland backdrop you can’t fake in a studio
Fire bowls, fire cages, fire pits, planchas and a wood fired oven
Multi camera coverage with rich outdoor light
Your product used for real, so it earns trust
