Four of us went there after the wine show at old billingsgate. Extensive menu, delicious pulled pork, jumbo hot dog with sauerkraut excellent. The shared platter was impressive. Attentive, friendly service. A treat !

Being a Mancunian it breaks my heart to say it but this is my favourite restaurant in the UK! The food is amazing, try the Burnt Ends with Pulled Pork washed down with a glass of Samuel Adams, you will think you have died an gone to meat eaters heaven. The portions are quite large. The ambiance is good, the... More

We all had the rib special as there was football that night, but we all were really impressed. They were very tender, a really large portion and very tasty. £15 for the meal and a beer. Chips were ok but it really is focussed on the meat. I would definitely go again.

Went here tonight (8pm, 12May2013) and must say I was a little disappointed with the decor and ambience of the place. This is probably down to 2 things...firstly I have been to New York and the bars there are buzzing and lively; and 2nd my mates have been going on about how good the food is that I may have... More

This is definitely a meat lovers paradise. My fish was okay, but not great, whereas my husbands pulled pork was much better. The highlight was sitting at the bar watching the bartenders spin their cocktail magic and then moving to the chairs in the window overlooking the Tower of London and Tower Bridge twinkling against the night sky marking a...

Visited on Saturday lunchtime & the restaurant was not busy. The service was ok but not great. The food was ok, but 2 of the starters had to be returned as they were cold. The BBQ food - pulled pork & ribs - was good. I wouldn't rush back but if I was in the area I would go to... More

We went here for a good friends daughters birthday, its a pretty cool buzzy space and the preference would be to sit down stairs as this is really the main restaurant. Generally the service was good, our waitress was attentive and helpful despite the language barrier, couldnt really fault her, unlike the downstairs reception person/manager who was aloof and unfriendly...
