Some of London's (and beyond) best chefs, live-fire cooks, and drinks producers are pitching up at Five Points Brewery for a weekend of all things BBQ and beyond at Big Grill Festival From June 8-9. Chow down on smokey delights and sip on super-fresh craft beer (made just steps away), as well as cocktails from legendary Irish Bar 1661.

As part of their 10-year celebrations, they're hosting an action-packed weekend of live-fire cooking and entertainment at the legendary Five Points Brewery in Hackney, East London. They'll join forces with their pals and fellow smokers at From The Ashes BBQ to serve epic live-fire-inspired dishes and an unbeatable selection of beers from the on-site brewery.

There will be music and entertainment by the iconic TV chef, live fire extraordinaire DJ BBQ, and dishes crafted by Michelin-starred chefs (Robin Gill) and Great British Menu finalist (Melissa McCabe). You can also expect fusion food, such as Filipino-Irish combos, a chilli-eating challenge, and craft beer from Irish breweries.

Big Grill London sessions run from 12 pm—4:30 pm and 5:30 – 10 pm on Saturday, June 8, and from 12 – 8 pm on Sunday, June 9. However, please note that the evening session on Saturday is for adults only.
