"London, for all its big park energy during the summer months—the disposable tin, the burnt sausages, the suspect chicken—is not a BBQ city. At least, not in the cuisine sense. So everyone should be happy that From The Ashes is a thing. The BBQ spot is best-known for its sweet and savoury doughnuts (handmade sugar-coated pillows packed with smoked pork and ‘nduja) but everything here is moist, smoky, and all-together delicious. The smoked pork and beef buns are easy go-tos and sides of crispy beef fat potatoes and burnt end beans add up to a fantastic pavement meal. Catch them at The Ram in Wandsworth and Hackney’s Five Points Brewery. And keep an eye on their Instagram for pop-up announcements and market stints too.
