Kadai Firebowl Stage

Rooted in tradition and reimagined for modern outdoor cooking, Kadai fire bowls bring the art of live fire cooking to centre stage. Originally used across India for creating fragrant curries, Kadais have evolved into a versatile barbecue and firepit combination, perfect for everything from grilling and roasting to slow cooking over the flames.

At Cheltenham Food Festival, the Recycled Kadai will be at the heart of the action on the Fire Stage, transforming cooking demonstrations into immersive experiences. With the fire fully visible, chefs can showcase the theatrics of live fire cooking, demonstrating heat zones, essential techniques, and the depth of flavour only real flames can provide.

With over 40 cookware accessories, the Kadai is one of the most adaptable barbecues available, offering chefs the freedom to explore a variety of dishes beyond traditional grilling. The crackle of the fire, the aroma of wood smoke, and the communal nature of cooking over open flames make the Kadai the perfect centrepiece for any outdoor gathering.

For nearly two decades, they’ve been championing sustainable craftsmanship, working with skilled artisans across India to create products made from recycled and responsibly sourced materials. Whether you’re a barbecue novice or a seasoned fire cook, Kadai is designed to inspire, bringing people together to cook, share, and celebrate the simple pleasure of food over fire.

This is an awesome addition to any budding BBQ chef’s cooking.
