Joseph Nesbitt-Larking is something of a modern renaissance man. A musician & composer by trade, he is a professional chef, event host, writer, voice actor & tutor specialising in live-fire food from around the world.

Having honed his culinary craft co-running Riverside Barbecue School – the UK’s biggest & first purpose-built barbecue school – with Andrew Dickens, he left his native England in early 2024 and spent two years running the lunch service at the Michelin-starred Hegel Eins in Stuttgart, Germany, before founding Gōdfȳr & Co. (pronounced “good fire”) with Andrew Dickens in 2026. The Gōdfȳr mission is to help people cook better outdoors, one good fire at a time.

Joseph’s penchant for performance will never allow him to pass up the opportunity to flaunt his fiery faculties in front of a crowd, a pursuit that has seen him working alongside some of the industry’s biggest names on stages internationally. Joseph’s passion is in sharing his enthusiasm for food & fire, helping people build confidence on their own gastronomic journey.
