is this the same guys who had the pop-up underneath the Hungerford Bridge?

if so, they were v.good

[Henry Hawthorne]

Yup, follow them on Twitter and have been getting rave reviews from their followers. Looks like a place to try!

Also Mishkin's in Covent G recently opened - rave reviews for that too.

i was wondering the other day why there doesnt seem to be any BBQ places over here but yet again its in london

[ls3steve]

I really wanted to go when they were in their tin shack under Hungerford.. hope the quality doesnt dip.
I heard that the guys behind Meat Wagon were great, then open Meat Liquor and its gone down hill

I am confused by the BBQ meaning, nowadays. These people appear to smoke and slow roast their food, but to me BBQ means cooking meat (and corn on the cob of course) quite quickly over some burning charcoal,

[Trustmeimadoctor]

well british bbq is burnt sausages and raw chicken but american bbq is obviously the far better slow and low version and arguably the more original of the two

Bodeans is really pretty bad BBQ. Its pretty much just a franchise these days.

Shame I'm out of town this weekend, won the agenda for soon though. Thanks for the heads up.

Did a drive into town this evening to scout out the place. I could smell BBQ but it took me a while to find the restaurant. The crowd I saw outside, I thought was at the pub next door - boy was I wrong. The restaurant looked full, and a queue outside was long. No signs on the outside, only etching of the name on the door (which I could not see for all the people. I could not see a menu either.

with 30 seats its going to be a long wait for some. best get there early and be prepared to queue. to be fair though i think it will be worth it.

[ls3steve]

Wow that is busy already.. Im gonna try very early next weekend then. Get there before they open and wait outside if needs be.. At least i'll be first in the Que


^^see what i did there^^ god im funny

[The Major]

I really REALLY want to go to this place, but cant justify going to london just for something to eat.

perhaps if it was a 2 michellin star I would, but not a bbq place.

[Cybertronian]

Went here on Saturday and we were fortunately 3rd and 4th in the queue. We got there just before 12 and the other couple in front of us were just as shocked there weren't more people. As we were taken downstairs into the dining area, boom! The masses arrived and looked like there could have been waits of 30 - 60 minutes for a table. It's very cosy in there so don't be shy with the table next to you, or watch what your topic of conversation ends up as.

The menu was small and probably changes daily, or every couple of days. We had the brisket and their "special house sausage", both with burnt end mash (amongst other sides). We were absolutely starving and had extra hot chicken wings on the side, but I'd say if you've had breakfast then their portions should be enough. Mains were about £9 each and I think they offered sandwichy-bap options on some things like pulled pork.

Very happy with the food and service and heartily recommend it to anybody that's after BBQ cooked low and slow.

[ls3steve]

I should be going this weekend.. I cant wait !
Will make sure i go early too in that case.

I hope the owner has sent a thank you letter to UKTV for showing Man v Food 5x a day!
