Restaurants hold a special place in the Big K story and operation. After all, our journey started in 1964 with our founder’s London restaurant. In fact, we have over 40 years’ experience working within the restaurant industry and cooking over charcoal and fire. We understand the challenges you face, the performance you want and the quality you need to create every taste and texture. You could say Big K is the go to expert.
We value the potential and power of partnership, so we love helping all types of restaurants across the country – from mobile catering units and independent kebab shops, to grill houses and Michelin-starred fine dining establishments. We can help you create the perfect flavour profile by offering the finest quality woods and charcoals to further enhance your menu.
We also know that service is integral to running your restaurant. You need what you need, when you need it – no exceptions. That’s why we take great care to provide unmatched customer service and multiple delivery options for increased flexibility. We want your Big K experience to be as seamless as possible.

Customisation is king. That’s why the Big K range of restaurant grade charcoal and wood is specifically tailored for professional kitchens. It provides the best possible combination of quality and performance, delivering long lasting heat and vibrat flavours for your menus. With a wide range of charcoals suitable for specific tastes and cuisines, it’s easy to find the perfect charcoal to compliment your culinary vision and offering.
True quality comes from consistency. We’re constantly testing all of our charcoal to ensure the perfect cook, every time. Our robust and modern manufacturing processes produce dependable, reliable charcoal and wood products that don’t change from batch to batch, meaning you can focus on creating the perfect dish, rather than worry about whether your charcoal is up to the task.
If your restaurant is cooking over wood and fire then Big K is your perfect partner. For wood burning pizza ovens we have an extensive range of wood products, including Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs using finest quality British Beech and Ash, and compressed sawdust Forno logs providing long lasting consistent heat. All these products can be easily stored and handled. Our British Kiln Dried Oak is ideal for smokers or for open grilling producing long lasting heat and flavour.
We believe in sourcing our product sustainably wherever possible. 100% of our wood is grown in Britain and sustainably and ethically sourced. Find out more about our sustainability journey here.
