New · The booking system, on film

The book is closed. The stories still smoke.

One enquiry, one reference code, zero phone tag. Send the smoke signal and you can track your enquiry from received to confirmed — no chasing, no cold shoulders.

The diary rests until Summer 2027, but referrals keep the table warm — old friends pass the salt first. The past flames below tell you exactly how the fire burns.

Bookings · Referrals only

The coals rest. The stories don’t.

The calendar’s gone dark while we bank the coals until Summer 2027. Until then the table is referrals only — old friends pass the salt first.

No deposits taken online, no auto-confirmations. Every fire is agreed between us first.

The coals are cooling. The fire isn’t out.

We’re letting the embers rest until Summer 2027. Until then, the table is back to referrals only — no new requests, just old friends passing the salt.

To every friend of the kitchen so far: thank you for the appetite, the stories and the second helpings. You kept the fire lit — we owe you a plate. ❤️

Coming back soon. Well rested, well seasoned.

Past flames · Banked coals

Served, smoked, still talked about.

The calendar rests; the record doesn’t. Every fire we’ve fed earns a seat here — proof the smoke signals got answered and the plates came back empty.

Served · 17 October 2026

Embers banked

A joint turning of the decade — 120 guests, one hired fire.

Two birthdays became one big flame. The kitchen called dibs on fried chicken & fish, curry mutton, rice, jollof rice, mac & cheese, coleslaw and potato salad. The fire brought smoky chicken, burgers and a few unannounced friends. Doors opened around 6 / 6:30pm — the smoke greeted guests before they did — and the grill clocked off by 8 / 8:30pm so the music could run the rest of the night.

One plate at a time, the legend banks. The next flame is already negotiating its menu — Summer 2027, referrals first.

01 · A friend vouches for you

No forms, no fuss — the table is passed hand to hand. A referral is the only key.

When the book reopens, every referral gets a reply within 24 hours: a menu sketch and an honest number.

03 · We light it

Agree the fire, lock the date, and the diary goes dark on that day.

Sketch the feast before you send it

Tell it the headcount, the occasion and roughly when. It answers with a menu, an honest per-head band and what moves the number — so nothing in your enquiry is a guess.

Give me the numbers: how many, what kind of night, and roughly when.
