FOOD VENDORS
Founder
Embers
The team at Embers Cafe, alongside Adam, will be cooking up a feast of UK BBQ food that they are best known for. With a mix of small and large plates available, the aim is for you to be able to have a taste of lots of different dishes throughout the day for the full experience.
Smokey joes bbq
Specialising in cooking over coals, low and slow wood smoking with Asian and European flavours. These guys know how to get some good flavour into their food!
DJ BBQ
The epic DJ BBQ, aka Christian Stevenson, is going to be bringing the energy and the best of North Carolina BBQ food to Embers Fire Festival in 2026. Known for his catertainment sets, DJ BBQ is a pro multitasker and spade guitar player. Despite living in the UK for most of his life, his roots are in America and he has travelled every state, meaning his knowledge of American food goes further than classic BBQ.
Murase’s pizza
Bringing Napoli style wood fired pizza, Murase’s Pizzas are some of the best hand stretched dough that you can get cooked on a wood fired oven.
Based in Newport, Shropshire, Murase’s Pizzas are a local Shropshire business who we are really looking forward to having with us at the festival.
Smokey Rebel
Smokey Rebel is bringing the rebellion to Embers Festival with bold rubs and savage goat tacos. No rules, no nonsense, just smoke, fire, and flavour that bites back. Go find them, grab the goods, and taste what happens when food stops behaving itself.
Reclaimed Fire
Live-fire specialist Davey Davey-Smith has been cooking and competing at the highest level since the age of 17. Davey worked as a Sergeant Chef in the RAF for 15 years and then went on to work in culinary operations for Formula 1 and working alongside two-Michelin-starred chef Ollie Dabbous. Now he is the founder and culinary force behind Reclaimed Fire, where his obsession with fire cookery, flavour and theatre comes to life.
Kaizen
Kaizen are a Japanese shop in the heart of The Parade, Shrewsbury. At the festival, they will be putting on a bookable experience for visitors to cook over fire, Yakitori BBQ style, using ingredients supplied by Embers. You won’t want to miss out on this.
