From The Ashes BBQ | Hackney | London

"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. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"London, for all it’s park form 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 in Hackney Wick. The little BBQ hatch may well be best known for it’s sweet and savoury doughnuts - handmade sugar-coated pillows packed with smoked pork and n’duja - 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, pre-nap meal. Heads-up that you can click and collect via their website if you don’t fancy hanging about outside." - Jake Missing
