Charcoal is a small catering company made up of a team of like-minded passionate foodies, run by chef James Horrigan. James is a local boy that has had a love for food for as long as he can remember. His early culinary career saw him heading up the kitchens of some of Westons best restaurants from 'The Thatch' to 'The Commodore Hotel'. But his dream was to one day run his own catering company that would specialise in delicious smoked and barbecued foods using only locally sourced meats from the Somerset area. And so Charcoal was born.
After a year of battling the elements in a gazebo, we quickly decided that we needed something a little bit more sturdy and mobile to flaunt our wares from. So after a lot of searching, we settled on a good old VW LT35 for the task ahead. We stripped it back, rebuilt it and custom made the sliding door to be full height so we could stand up and serve. Then we sprayed it charcoal black, added the logo decals and fully kitted it out with a custom made kitchen. Boom! She's a beauty. We love to barbecue the old fashioned way, over hot coals. Hence our name. And when we smoke our meats low and slow, they are all smoked with freshly chopped cherry wood from the local area. Check out our new smoker in action.
