Black Cactus was established in 2017, with humble beginnings as an independent specialist coffee vendor, offering premium locally sourced coffee and pastries to a small community of friends and family at the local rugby club. After the first few years perfecting the craft as a coffee connoisseur, like most of the country Black Cactus fell on hard times during the pandemic. A successful East London coffee pitch was lost due to national lockdown conditions, and all was lost. But, in a time of crisis came an opportunity!
Attentions were turned to another love… Beautifully slow smoked meats and premium Texas style BBQ! We invested in our first professional smoker and the rest is history. Black Cactus Coffee Smoke was born! We started to offer ready to eat smoked meats such as Smoked Brisket, Pork and Beef Rib, Half Chickens and Spiced Hot Link Sausages and set up as a delivery food offering for people during lock down to enjoy some tasty Texas Style BBQ food at home with their families. Black Cactus evolved into a premium specialist coffee and smoked BBQ brand, simply put… ‘Black Cactus Coffee Smoke'.
we decided to go ‘full smoke ahead’ and started to create and develop an eclectic menu using diverse flavour palettes from around the world, with the soul of the Smoker at the heart of everything we serve. The quirky names for the rolls share a little bit of the fun we have creating the food to our customers, as they enjoy every juicy mouthful of our exciting creations. Since we started our smoker has been upgraded and we now use a Smokey Oak BBQ 130 Gallon Competition Offset Smoker, with natural wood fuel sources for that signature Black Cactus smoky taste! We have loved our journey so far, and this is only the beginning . We hope you choose to be part of our journey and enjoy some Black Cactus Coffee Smoke with us soon!
April 25th marked the day we said goodbye to the wagon & hello to the kitchen, which coincided with the first day of BLACK CACTUS BBQ & the 1st night of our residency at Exale Brewing ......
