Big K Charcoal are proud to be a Smoker and Fire Festivals Fuel partner.
One man’s idea. Families, friends and individuals working together. Many minds creating quality products for all to enjoy.
It all started in 1964, when our founder, Theodoros Kleanthous, immigrated to the UK from Cyprus. He may have left his homeland but he brought the island’s passion for food with him, eventually setting up his own Cypriot restaurant in Euston.
Quality matters. This simple philosophy has guided Big K throughout our 40 years of selling charcoal as a family-owned business. It is the powerful idea that resonates through our whole operation, from our products and customer service to our supply chain and attitude to sustainability.
Quality matters drives us to create innovative, forward-thinking products like our new Cocoshell briquettes. It means we don’t accept average or mediocre materials. It means we grade our charcoal accurately and only sell the larger graded pieces. It means working closely with our suppliers, establishing meaningful, long-term relationships to produce quality with consistency.
