Our Story: Forging Flavour with Fire

After 25 years immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality, from gastropubs to large-scale contract catering, my passion for live fire cooking has only intensified, but it was during the lockdowns of 2020 that my fire truly got lit.

That’s when I launched Urban Streatery, a humble taco stall born out of a love for bold flavors and street-style energy.

 

Today, My biggest passion? Cooking over live fire. There’s nothing more honest or exhilarating than harnessing the elements to create something unforgettable.

 

Whether it’s tacos on the street, smoked innovation in the lab, or flames on the festival circuit—I’m all about flavor, fire, and pushing boundaries.

Now, I'm thrilled to introduce Coal and Craft, a chef consultancy dedicated to igniting culinary experiences through the art of flame.
