Went in December. Expensive (£100 a head but was two big lads who had a platter each) but worth it. Foods just exceptional, everything we had was incredible and it all stood out. Interesting flavours, incredibly cooking, great quality etc. service great too, vibe really chilled. Would go back in a heart beat, unreal BBQ and best I’ve had by a long way, makes me want to do a BBQ tour of the US!

We have just finished our meal here and jumped to Google to immediately leave a review.
We have been to a lot of restaurants in general and have tried a lot of highly rated smoked meat places, this place is hands down one of the best meals we have ever had, better than any Michelin star restaurant.
Great selection of drinks with seasonal cocktails, the food was insane and the service was equally as excellent. The whole vibe in there was fun and enjoyable – we traveled an hour to try this, and we are already checking dates for when we can come back here!

Wow!! What an incredible change to a typical Sunday roast. This is the best turkey you will ever eat! We got the sharing tray between 2 people, and left feeling very comfortably full.
Special mention to our waiter Harry who is very clearly passionate about the food and drink here!
The taster glass of brandy at the start is a very nice touch.

Exceptional experience tonight. The menu is small, so each dish is done to perfection, with local brewery beer and out of this world brandy brewed on site. The dessert freshly made, 10/10. The team were all so passionate and kind to our kids. A special shout out to Harry, who really smashed it out the park with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Easily the best restaurant in E17 and one of the best in London. I’ll be back next week, and the week after, and the week after that. Outstanding guys. X

If you know anything about cooking or attempting to do bbq food on this scale then you know these boys know what they’re doing. Hype is worth every mouthful. Silly flavours, quality produce, execution flawless.
Front of house staff if the venue were also really friendly, bartenders drinks were spot on too. Went solo as my girlfriend was ill and you would feel welcome in groups of all sizes. Well done guys should be proud

We had a wonderful experience here! We were served by the lovely Jamie at the bar, he made us the most delicious fresh jalapeño margarita style cocktail. All the food was 10/10- favs being the croissant and the brisket (especially avocado chimichuri). We will defo be coming back

Good time! One of the employees helped us carry our pram up the stairs. The food was good but the portions were really small – definitely try the brandy tho!

Overpriced and underwhelming. Is it worth the hype.? This is coming from someone who has done a BBQ food tour in Texas.
The £75 meat platter only comes with three meats and a heap of bland veggies. The potato side tasted stale and tastless, and we noticed most tables left it untouched. Roasted cabbage was decent, but the rest of the veg was forgettable.
Brisket: 7/10 decent but came a bit cold
Sausage: 6/10 average
Pulled pork: 5/10 nothing special
Ribs: 8.5/10 (ironically the best thing we had, but not even included in the platter, and extra £35)
Platter + ribs set us back £120. For that price, I’d expect either more meat or sides done properly. Definitely not worth it.
REPLY TO OWNERS COMMENTS:
Glad my Texas trip helped clear that up! You’re right though, after 10+ visits in 6 years I can safely say two cold slices of brisket, one lonely sausage, a scoop of average pulled pork, and some sad veggies doesn’t quite cut it for £129.
But hey, at least the ribs were decent… shame everything else was bland, cold or left uneaten (that potato salad mountain doesn’t lie).
If that’s the “hype train,” I think I’ll get off at the next stop.

What a great food spot .
Burgers on a friday night were to die for. Service was quality, shout out to Henry. He was very informative and made us feel at home. Will be back on a Saturday to treat my inner canvivore. The brandy is yummy as well.
Top Gaff!

Great BBQ, amazing brandy, attentive and friendly wait staff, and good vibe. I have only 2 complaints:
1. The potatoes in the potato salad weren’t freshly cooked and were dry and refrigerated. Cold and obviously cooked at least a day prior. The sauce was nice though.
2. The guy with the hair bun who manages the seating was really rude when we left. I came back from the toilet with a quarter of my drink left and my coat on the chair, not quite ready to leave but he acted as if I were invisible and started reaching in front of me (I was sat at the bar) clearing up around me. I said I was still finishing my drink and he carried on and said something about the next sitting. Ironic since we booked a table but sat at the bar and were still within our 1.5 hour time slot.
This may sound petty, but if I’m spending £140 for 2 people I expect a little more.
