We went all in and tried a bit of everything, sharing boards and every single dish delivered. The beef brisket was UNBELIEVABLE, so tender it literally melted in the mouth. The pork belly was the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft, rich, and juicy inside. The mac and cheese was indulgent and packed with flavour, proper comfort food done right. The sides were just as impressive. The coleslaw was very refreshing, cutting through the richness perfectly, and the wings were incredible, full of flavour and falling straight off the bone. On top of that, the service was spot on. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a modern, cool vibe with a really relaxed atmosphere. It’s the kind of spot you can properly enjoy without feeling rushed. It’s also super convenient, there’s a car park literally just down the road, which makes it even easier to visit if you are a local like us. Honestly, there’s nothing quite like this in the area. As gym boys, we can definitely appreciate good protein, and this was next level. Highly recommend and we’ll 100% be back.

He was very helpful with our dietary requirements. A few of us have certain allergies and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back, thank you for the whole experience especially my lovely smoking Cocktails

Had booking for 430 but when we walked in there was only like 2 other tables in the place so but weird we couldn’t get another time. So got seated straight away and ordered drinks that came out quick so did the starters as we had to pre book our meal, so we asked we not in a rush so hold fire mains . Must been the worse thing to do as didn’t get anymore drinks so I got up and asked the not so busy staff can we have another drink which they apologised and got us a drink very quick so when we said we ready for mains and this was lovely top marks to the chef thankyou but at no point did anyone ask is if food was ok or wanted anymore drinks So when dessert came I said to the waitress you are definitely missing out on making in this place as the bar service lets it down to which she asked if we want another drink but was to late now ready to leave Food was a1 but table service shocking when it’s so quiet
