Smoke & Spice is on a mission to make African street food mainstream in the UK — one grill at a time.

The kitchen found me before I found it. Growing up as the only girl, I was always at my grandmother’s side — she was a caterer, and that’s where my love for food was born. Nigerian flavours, cooked with love, feeding people well. That never left me.

I spent years in corporate as an economist. Good on paper. But cooking was always the passion.

So I bet on myself. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, graduated with Distinction, and came back to my roots — this time with the skills to match the fire.

Over five years of professional culinary experience across private dining, restaurant consultation, and street food events. Le Cordon Bleu qualification with Distinction. Licensed street trader in Camden and Lewisham. Operated across London markets, corporate pop-ups, and private events — consistently delivering high-volume service without compromising on quality or flavour.

Corporate event organisers, private party hosts, festival and market promoters, university student unions, and brand activation teams looking for high-energy, crowd-pleasing street food.

We regularly cater birthday parties, work socials, community events, pop-ups, and outdoor markets — anyone who wants bold Nigerian-inspired flavours served with real flair from a striking custom trailer.
