The firm was established three years ago by Simon Chiremba, based in Corby, Northampton, who attended a private school in Zimbabwe before studying culinary arts at University College Birmingham. His recent events have included the Silverstone Grand Prix.
Smoke and Braai have served a host of wedding parties, film crew bashes and vintage car shows in recent months, with dishes including lime and mint-infused pineapple, loaded barbecue skin-on fries, cherry wood-smoked pork with honey and mustard slaw, locally-sourced Aberdeen Angus ox cheeks, and wood-smoked vegan barbecue cauliflower.
“We have lived in, travelled and experienced both cultures of BBQ and Braai and one thing they all have in common is that they bring people together and make everyone happy,” Smoke and Braai says on its website.
Adding to the festival atmosphere, for dessert there was ice cream courtesy of Dalton’s Dairy, a family-run dairy farm in the Peak District which produces handmade ice creams, including wild strawberries and cream, pineapple, and amaretto and black cherry.
