Visiting the UK at Christmas.....and will be in the London area for several days.
Can anyone recommend a good London BBQ place?
Tripadvisor reviews are all over the place & had a friend eat at Bodeans & was very disappointed.
Not particularly interested in pulled pork....it's me brisket I'm after!

The burnt ends are delicious!
Miss. P's Barbecue is good, they are a mobile street vendor that are often found at KERB food and other such places.
Is that the one where you have to queue for hours to get in?
With no menu on the website & very $$$......
Yeah that's the one. I'm done with restaurants that won't let me book, it's like they're doing us a favour letting us eat there.
Just had lunch there this week, it is pretty good, but tiny, I wouldn't take a large group, or even a small group now I think about it.
That can happen, especially in the evening, rolling up at 1230 (when it opens) for lunch seems to work out okay though.
I think the menu changes tbh and anyway its not very extensive but with different specials every day, tbf it is really good slow cooked meat with about half a dozen sides to choose from (which are also very good). It isn't really that expensive (for central London) you could certainly eat much less well for much more money.
Edit <here is a menu> for them, but as I said it changes fairly regularly, it gives you a good idea of what to expect in terms of what might be on offer and the prices
I completely agree, they are just trying to create a buzz with people who like to be seen to be eating at exclusive and difficult to get into places. screw that, life's too short for that shit imo
I would say that Pitt Cue does do really very good slow cook bbq food, but it's not so good that I would risk going there in the evening only to not get a table. Also it is a whiskey bar that really only does sell whiskey (albeit lots of types). They actually don't have gin or vodka or any other spirit for those of us that don't like whiskey!! I was quite taken aback tbh, especially when the barman (owner as well I think) said that it was a whisky bar and so why would they carry anything else? Well to broaden your potential client base I would think sweetheart!!!
Basically the food is as good as they say it is but nothing else about it is quite as cool as they seem to imagine.
That particular menu doesn't impress me.
I would love to try Pit Cue, but I'm not going to wait for hours to eat. I had tried to go to Pit Cue the day I went to Bodeans.
Nothing I've tried beats the BBQ food I've had in the USA, although my home cooked ribs come close.
You should probably try elsewhere then because the food is really the only reason to go there.
I just want to be able compare it to commercial offerings, as the only smoked brisket I've had is my own.
Has anyone been to Reds?
Older reviews on TA are bad but more recent ones are better.....
Reds in Manchester is alright, but nothing special.
Red's menu appeals more, though
They certainly have a more expansive menu, but it's always felt to me like they are just trying to do too much (along with gimmicks like the 'donut burger'), rather than focusing on doing a few things really well.
Definitely Southern 11 in Manchester
Jay Rayner's review of Reds was enough to put me off it.
Just read the review: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/12/reds-true-barbecue-leeds-restaurant-review
Replies to it are a mixed bag (or bucket).
Still favouring the one in M'chester.
Or maybe Grillstock in Bristol.
Maybe I should draw a map of my itinerary & let the audience on here decide where I should eat.....
