The menu · eat for your goal

Three ways to eat. One fire.

Cutting weight, building it, or simply craving a hearty homemade meal after a long one? Pick your lane — we’ll load the box. Macros are indicative per portion and tuned to your brief.

Losing weight, not the plot

Lean & Lighter

High protein · high fibre · slow-release grains

Volume without the guilt. Big fibre grains, lean fire-cooked protein and acid-forward sides that keep you full past 3pm — because hunger is what kills a diet, not flavour.

    Peri-rubbed breast, bulgur with herbs and pomegranate, charred tenderstem.

    ~45g protein · ~12g fibre

  • Grilled hake, giant cous cous

    Lemon-and-thyme hake over wholewheat giant cous cous, chilli greens.

    ~40g protein · ~10g fibre

Eating for the gains, not the gram

Build & Bulk

High protein · high carb · calorie dense

Serious fuel for people lifting serious things. Bigger proteins, honest carbs and sauces with a job to do. Weight goes on the bar, not just the plate.

    Coffee-and-brown-sugar rubbed chuck, buttered mash, ember onions.

    ~55g protein · ~85g carbs

  • Oxtail & samp

    Slow-braised oxtail over samp and beans. The original bulking meal.

    ~50g protein · ~90g carbs

  • Wings, rice & peri gravy

    A kilo of smoked wings, jollof-style rice, gravy that means business.

    ~60g protein · ~95g carbs

  • Pork belly & garlic pap

    Crackling-topped belly, soft pap, tomato-and-onion relish.

    ~48g protein · ~80g carbs

    Falling-off-the-bone oxtail, root veg, buttered rice or pap.

    Serves 1–2 · reheats better

    Half chicken, roast potatoes in the drippings, slaw with bite.

    Serves 1–2

  • Curried mutton & rice

    Low and slow, gently hot, the kind of gravy you mop up.

    Serves 1–2

The plans

A fridge full of flavour. No microwave required.

Three ways to eat through the week. No fixed menus, no shortcuts, and definitely no plastic trays of regret.

The Starter Pack

Quoted on your brief

One fire-forged protein, two sides, and a sauce that pulls it all together. Enough to make your colleagues jealous, twice.

Single serve · min 1

The Family Flame

Quoted on your brief

Feed the household without feeding the microwave. Larger portions, bolder rubs, and enough smoke to linger pleasantly through Tuesday.

Multi serve · min 4

The Custom Prep

On request

Macros, allergens, preferences — we build the box around your week. One size fits nobody, especially when fire is involved.

Bespoke · macros & allergens
01

Send the brief

Pick a plan, a lead dish and how many mouths. Takes less time than deciding on a takeaway.

02

Give us 24 hours

Rubs go on, coals go low. Nothing here is microwaved into existence at short notice.

03

Collect and reheat

Midday or sunset slot, boxed cold and ready to reheat. Collection from our Surrey kitchen. Menus for weight loss, weight gain, or simply a proper homemade meal.
