He said: “It’s a mixture of American-style BBQ but also very much influenced by South African food.<\/p>\n
“I love all things BBQ, from smoking to direct grilling, all our food is only cooked over charcoal, no gas at all.<\/p>\n
“Everything is smoked or grilled over charcoal, the proper, real deal.”<\/p>\n
Speaking about why he has decided to open his second restaurant in Cardiff, Billy said: “I’ve always loved Cardiff, Cardiff has got the best vibe and Wales has got the best people… just love the whole atmosphere.”<\/p>\n
Spitfire Barbecue has already received a very positive reception from customers.<\/p>\n
Billy said: “I just find that Cardiff is very welcoming.<\/p>\n
“I was a bit taken aback… in Wales everyone is just super friendly, everyone just wants to help, give some advice and guidance, it is just amazing.<\/p>\n
“I found everyone in Wales is just incredible.”<\/p>\n
