Really great food here, it's very filling and rich. The portions don't look very large, but it's just packed with flavour. I would eat here again. The only downside is that the seating could be more comfortable

Great little restaurant tucked down a laneway. Inconspicuous signage makes it a little difficult to find. Delicious brisket, sides and ox cheek croquettes. All the meat we had here was incredibly well done, juicy and tender. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Both beers we tried were fantastic accompaniments to the food as well. The service was warm and attentive.

Tender and juicy bbq, as the best I can find in East London. Beef Ribs and pork belly their iconic dishes and they taste well.
My favorite is actually the starter: ox cheek bites.
To be fair, their beef brisket is slightly below the standard. It would taste better if it was smoked for a while. Their brisket bun tastes better than the sole brisket alone. Skip the pulled pork bun.
In general their style is heavy sauce and light smoke.
Taking one star off as they pushed us to pay bill without telling us the limit of dining duration beforehand. And three of them came repeating the same request while no one actually brought the bill. That needs some better coordination.
I would recommend this to people who like bbq and beer during summer time.

The food and service were amazing!!!!
Came for the meat but the vegetarian options were 🔥🔥🔥. Highly recommend the Beetroot and goat cheese starter and the aubergine! Staff was super friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves!

We ordered 3 starters, 2 mains, 2 sides and a bottle of fine and the bill came to around 90£.

The food here is definitely a 4/5 stars option. The cob corn was delicious and ox cheek was a great option too. A good variety of vegetarian options as well, if you don’t eat meat. The grilled aubergine was also a nice plate.

The restaurant atmosphere brings down the rating for me. It was very loud, with blaring music, and dark. It was quite overwhelming and difficult to carry conversation. The bathrooms were also quite dirty.

If you come here and don't order BOTH the 30-day dry aged beef ribs and the brisket, you're going to have to come again. 5/5 meal !! Melted in your mouth, no need for a knife. I was so pleased I came here, friendly staff, very nice vibe and AMAZING FOOD, Even the chips tasted good !! They have a huge selection of drinks to top it all of. I'll be back

Probably the best burger I’ve had in London! An authentic, industrial environment, must-go destination for everyone that loves meat ! To be fair, they have some pretty good vegetarian dishes too, such as the oven baked aubergine, which came as a delicious starter.
