About Sam & Shauna
Howdy Partners!
Welcome aboard our BBQ and outdoor cooking adventure. We’re Sam and Shauna – fire chefs, street food pioneers, restaurateurs, cookbook authors, TV presenters, event hosts and all-out food obsessives.
We started our BBQ brand ‘Hang Fire’ in 2013 after a pilgrimage around the Southern US states, immersing ourselves in traditional communities and learning the art and science of American BBQ and Southern cuisine. We are credited with starting the Street Food and Pop-up movement in Wales and are trail blazers in our field of outdoor cooking.
Our energy, passion and in-depth knowledge has seen us go on to be ambassadors for outdoor cooking in the UK. Having won many awards for our sustainable, ethical and creative cooking, we are also authors of our beloved international bestselling cookbook ‘Hang Fire; Adventures in American BBQ’. You can catch up with us via our BBC TV show; ‘Sam & Shauna’s Big Cookout’ which celebrates the people and produce of Wales through spectacular community cooking celebrations.
Having closed our restaurant in 2021 we now focus on teaching fire-foodies how to up their BBQ game all from our own backyard alongside festival hosting, recipe writing, private dining experiences, bespoke events and regular TV and radio appearances.
