Chillin’ While Grillin’: The Fridge Co. Powers Smoke & Fire Festival

The Smoke & Fire Festival in Essex is one of the UK’s biggest celebrations of BBQ, street food, and live fire cooking — drawing huge crowds of food lovers from across the country. This past weekend, The Fridge Co. was proud to play a vital role in helping food vendors keep their stock fresh, safe, and ready to serve with our reliable refrigerated trailers.

One of the highlights? Working alongside Meat Market Barbecue, a vendor famous for their mouthwatering, flame-grilled dishes. With thousands of portions to serve, keeping ingredients fresh was critical — and that’s where our trailers made all the difference.
