Booked it the night before. Turned out to be one of the best little trips we’ve had.

@pinecones_cc is just over an hour from home, so with the @tentbox already on the car, we just went.

The Sandringham Royal Estate is only about a 30-minute walk from the site and the play park is HUGE. Because we walked over, no parking charge either. A few hours out for free and the kids loved it . . . can’t argue with that 😂

Then back to site for fish and chips, a few drinks in the bar, frisbee, board games and movies in the TentBox.

This is exactly why I keep it on the car.

Last-minute adventures are what it’s all about. ❤️

AD | Pizza dough has been my nemesis for YEARS . . . so I basically stopped bothering. 🍕🔥

No matter what recipe I tried, I could never quite get it right.

Well . . . turns out I don’t have that problem anymore. 😅

@greatballs.of.flour sent me their Essential Box and, apart from your toppings of choice, it contains everything you need to make 12 pizzas for just over £40.

For context, a Domino’s round here is about £14 a pizza. We enjoy it at the time . . . then about an hour later we’re all sat there questioning our life choices. 😂

So instead, I dragged the three kids outside and we made our own.

Were they perfectly round? Absolutely not.

Was there flour everywhere? Obviously.

Did we have a laugh, get the kids involved in cooking and make some genuinely epic pizzas? 100%.

And that was the bit I loved most.

The dough was an absolute joy to work with — genuinely easy enough for the kids to stretch and shape themselves — and everyone got to make exactly what they wanted.

We spread it over a couple of days, made a load of different pizzas and obviously finished things properly with a chocolate and marshmallow pizza. 🤤

For just over £40 for 12 pizzas, this was a seriously good way to turn dinner into something we actually did together.

And finally . . . pizza dough and I might have made peace. 😂🍕

The Essential Box was kindly sent to me by Great Balls of Flour for me to try and create some content with. All thoughts are my own.

If my 3-year-old daughter could get outside and cook . . . what’s stopping you? 🔥

This popped up in my memories today from 2021, and it proper got me.

My kids are my world. Being a single, full-time dad to three is stressful, chaotic and rarely goes to plan . . . but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve always dragged them into this outdoor cooking journey with me, and looking back at videos like this reminds me why.

The cooks get forgotten.

The recipes change.

The kit changes.

But the memories? They stick.

This one also takes me right back to the early days of Smoke & Sear, when @bradleysmoker were the first brand to ever reach out and back what I was doing.

I’ve never forgotten that.

And funny enough, I still use my Bradley all the time today — especially for hot holding. Absolute workhorse.

Five years on, the Moink Balls are long gone.

But this little moment?

That’s priceless. ❤️🔥

One week since MEATUP . . . and honestly, we’re already missing it. 🔥

Seeing so many people walking around the festival wearing FOURGE hoodies was a proper moment for us. Four mates started this — and suddenly, there was a whole crew carrying the flame with us.

There are now only a limited number of places remaining among the first 50 FOURGE Founders.

The £150 Founders Box includes:

🔥 The Founders Fourged in Fire Hoodie
🔥 Your choice of FOURGE T-shirt or trucker cap
🔥 All five Pass the Flame rubs
🔥 Two future FOURGE releases before public launch
🔥 A numbered Founders Wallet Card with 10% off food at FOURGE-run events
🔥 Your permanent place on the FOURGE Founders Wall

Use code MEATUP at checkout to save 20% — bringing the Founders Box down from £150 to £120.

When the first 50 places are secured, it closes. No second drop. No reopening the gate.

MEATUP 2026 . . . what a weekend. 🔥

Our first ever festival as FOURGE.

In just two days we served 617 customers . . . a number that genuinely blows our minds.

As someone who’s usually hiding behind a screen or an iPhone, I wasn’t prepared for just how tough festival life is. Massive respect to everyone who does this every weekend—I was a broken man by the end of day one! 😂

The best part? Meeting so many of you, seeing people wearing FOURGE merch, hearing incredible feedback, and watching a brand that’s only a year old become part of something so special.

To everyone who queued, supported us, shared a laugh or simply stopped by to say hello . . . thank you. ❤️

If this was @meatupfestival first year, we genuinely can’t wait to see what the future holds.

617 transactions.
One unforgettable weekend.
We’ll be back. 🔥
