Was recommended this place by a work colleague, and it did not disappoint.
I ordered ‘The Bob Marley’ from the specials, The Jerk ribs were amazing, with a beautifully spiced bark encrusting the topside, underneath the meat was soft and juicy, expertly cooked.
I’m a big fan of curry goat, and have tried in many South London establishments, this easily lived up to all of them, with the perfect level of heat, the goat was tender and fell off the bone, and the meaty flavour permeated the sauce. The dumplings were crunchy on the surface, and fluffy on the inside, good for mopping up operations.
The staff were friendly and attentive, and the decor matched the atmosphere.
Highly recommended

Great burger with super vibes in the restaurant, let alone the design. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
Thanks for the nice service. ✌️

The food is always awesome! Can highly recommend the ‘16 hour pulled smoked brisket’, it was mind blowing, full of amazing flavour. But all of the food we had was superb.
The service was also fantastic and great atmosphere and cool graffiti covering the walls.
All in all it is well worth a visit here! A+

Good but not great. Team pleasant enough but pulled meats were only warm… might be heat conducting through the metal tray ♂️

Pleasantly surprised overall. However, the food I had could’ve been better.
My Cowpigchicken Burger was very tasty although upgrading to a platter wasn’t impressive for the additional cost.
I got a cold chicken thigh and a ½ rack of ribs with hardly any meat.
Definitely returning but I felt the cost was a bit steep for the quality.
Good atmosphere though and nice staff.

The ribs and wings had great flavours but were very chewy, quite disappointing. I went to Mission Chicken recently, their sister restaurant and the food there was incredible so it’s surprising the ribs and wings at the smoke pit weren’t up to par.

Food great, warm, atmosphere great. One member of staff was very rude. Asked for help on the menu but was told no and then when picked was berated for the selection. Maybe if you had let us ask questions.
Genuinely think she thought she was working in one of those insult places. Needless to say we didn’t see her again after the order and the other staff were great.

Decent food, rude staff. When we arrived we were ignored for 10 minutes whilst the man who works on the front desk was having a catch up with a friend. When his friend left to continue with his day, the man coldy walked us to our table and the experience got no better from that. We have been a few times as the food is decent, however due to the customer service from this same man on front desk, we won’t be returning or recommending, which is a shame.

Really pleased with the food and the size of the portions. I had the Donald Rump – a double patty cheeseburger and chips which comes with a steak on the side. The steak was about 6oz of perfection! My husband ordered the cow-pig-chicken burger which came mega loaded. We both took half of our meals home, so although over £20 for each burger I would say it’s great value for money.
We were really disappointed with the service. Seated straight away and drinks within 10mins, but no one came to take our food order for about 25mins and then food took around half an hour to come out, so from arrival to eating we had to wait 55 mins. It wasn’t that busy. We had a round of drinks from another table added to our bill, so do check your receipt before paying.

We visited this evening as a group of 8 (4 adults, 4 children) and unfortunately the experience ended before we even ordered food due to how we were spoken to by a member of staff (Joe).
When ordering drinks, we asked if two of us could share one refillable drink. The waiter immediately responded in a very dismissive tone saying refillables were “per person”. That was fine — we simply ordered one refillable for my partner instead. He then said *“let me guess, one of you will now just order water”*. I did exactly that because I didn’t want to pay for a drink I knew I wouldn’t finish. His response was *“come on, I wasn’t born yesterday”*, delivered very passive-aggressively.
This made all four adults at the table extremely uncomfortable. No one wanted to order anything further and we decided to leave.
To be clear:
• Nowhere was it stated on the menu that refillables cannot be shared
• We fully respect restaurant policies — but there is a polite way to communicate them
• The tone and attitude were the issue, not the rule itself
The manager did try to resolve the situation, which we appreciate, but by that point the atmosphere was already ruined.
Hospitality is a challenging industry right now, and customer experience matters more than ever. A simple, friendly explanation would have avoided this entirely. Sadly, because of how we were spoken to, we won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend to others.
