About Fern & Forge
Fern & Forge is a small British maker brand built around one simple idea, make outdoor gear that feels solid, looks great, and lasts.
Fern & Forge was built for people who’d rather be outside than stuck staring out the window wishing the day would hurry up.
We started with a simple frustration: too many “portable” BBQs are basically disposable. Flimsy folding grills that wobble, don’t get hot enough, and end up in the bin. Kettle BBQs that cook well… but are bulky, messy, and a pain to lug around.
So we decided to build something better.
The Nomad Grill Was Born
Fern & Forge began with a mission, portable shouldn’t mean disposable.
Using 15 years of product design experience, we set out to create a grill that you can throw in the camper, take to the beach, head into the hills with, and use time after time after time.
The result is the Nomad Grill — UK-made, durable, and built from thick steel. It packs down flat, travels easily, and when it’s time to cook it simply slots together.
No fuss. No tools. Just proper outdoor cooking.
Built for Adventure and Proper Food
We’ve always had that sense of adventure — camping, fishing, hunting, getting out whenever we can. And we’ve always been obsessed with cooking.
But we didn’t want outdoor cooking to mean “a burger and a sausage and that’s your lot.” The Nomad is designed to push beyond basic.
It’s made to handle whatever you’re into — searing steaks, cooking fish and veg, skewers over the fire, breakfast in the morning… anything your imagination will let you.
A Real British Brand
Fern & Forge is a real brand, built by real people.
We’re proud to be made in Britain, in Warwickshire, working with British suppliers and backing UK manufacturing. It matters to us that our spend supports British jobs and keeps value in the British economy.
Sustainability, the Practical Way
We don’t want to see landfills filled with disposable BBQs when there’s a much better option.
Our mindset is simple, buy once, buy right.
Build it properly. Use it for years. Take it on your travels. Use it at home. Make it part of your kit.
More Than a Grill
One of our favourite things about the Nomad is what happens after you’ve finished cooking: it can turn into a firepit. Throw on some driftwood, sit back, and enjoy the sunset.
That’s what it’s all about, bringing people together and creating memories in special locations.
Our Promise
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created, and we stand by it.
We genuinely believe this is the best BBQ for the money a fantastic product that you’ll be very happy with.
