The pandemic gave Martin Anderson and Curtis Bell the opportunity to come together to start From the Ashes BBQ in June 2020, serving nose to tail BBQ out of their Hatch in Hackney Wick.

After meeting in Temper Soho in 2019, Curtis and Martin worked together to share their combined passion for BBQ and the outstanding produce the UK farm industry has to offer.

The menu was derived with smoke, fat and fire in mind. Using whole animals with a few unique ingredients, they adapted to their new home on Fish Island.

Since opening FTA, they’ve moved from strength to strength, holding kitchen residencies, festivals and events all over London, demonstrating a range of cooking styles. They moved into a new home at Five Points Brewery in 2023.

Now, in 2024, From the Ashes are excited to bring the expertise that have made them one of the biggest names in the British BBQ industry to the heart of Wandsworth at The Ram.
