Hello and welcome to What’s The Story? Hash Brown Glory!

We’re your hosts, Tom Bower and Lee Harding!

This week, we’re joined by the fantastic Jon Oakes, owner of Feast & The Furious in Melton Mowbray. From starting his journey with a food truck in 2017 to opening his incredible bbq smokehouse just a few years later, Jon’s talent for serving up some absolutely mind blowingly good meat is incredible.

We talk about his journey in food so far, the ups and the downs, and what he’s got planning for the future.

Situated in the heart of Melton Mowbray at The Stockyard, (right next to Round Corner Brewery!), Feast and The Furious host numerous food filled evenings, from burger nights to all out bbq style feasts.

We discuss everything from what goes into growing such an amazing food business and the difficulties that sometimes come with it, from growth to adaptation. We also cover the importance of consistency with menus and of course, our legendary quiz makes its appearance.
