TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR HEATED AND COVERED TERRACE FOR GROUPS FROM MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLDS

Barbeque grew up in the South of the USA where cooks learned to slow roast cuts of meat over fire pits to make them tender. Exposure to the smoke of the smouldering wood added a distinctive smoky taste to the meat. The process could take many hours, leaving the meat tender and juicy.


Our award-winning smoker has been imported from the USA and is built to recreate the cooking process of those original fire pits. We use the traditional American woods of hickory and mesquite to give a full smoke flavour, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 16 hours.

    Food wasn’t great and definitely wasn’t what I expected. We had the Oregon Platter which was presented well but mostly Luke warm at best. Dessert was sent back for being fridge cold (Sticky Toffee Pudding) was heated up and served but was poor, very stodgy and claggy. Service was good, friendly and polite.

    I booked this for our anniversary. The menu looked great and right up our alley. Once there it was not as expected. Very dimly lit and can’t hear yourself think amongst the very loud environment. Music was playing, however it could not be heard over all the other noises. The wait staff all seemed young and a bit blunt when asking for our order. We ordered our food. Ordered the buffalo wings to start, however these weren’t buffalo wings but normal crispy wings. Taste nice but not buffalo. We expected some level of spice as the only sauce offered with them was ranch or blue cheese. We were disappointed but we thought the mains would be better. My husband ordered the beef rib. Any beef rib we’ve ever had has always been tender enough to fall off the bone and this was not the case. It was as tough as old boots and didn’t provide a steak knife to even assist. It was accompanied on the plate with peach bourbon bbq sauce which tasted like baby food. This meal was sent back as it was inedible. I ordered the chicken tenders, and when I was asked what spice level I’d like them I asked for the Hot. I again expected some spice or a sauce that was “Hot”. The chicken was well cooked and tender as the name suggests, however, the spice level was a crumb coating not a sauce and was certainly not “hot”. My husband who is a spice wuss ate pieces of it and had no problem. Also they put the chicken on a puddle of blue cheese sauce which was unexpected. Other restaurants would provide sauce separately in a ramekin. I had to send it back as i don’t eat cheese. The fries were the best part of the meal. I thought the food was a bit on the pricey side and the drinks were so expensive at nearly £5 for a coke. Overall it wasn’t an experience we enjoyed and definitely would not be interested in going again. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Ordered a platter for x3 people. The brisket and the pork rib in particular were disappointing - bland and tough in some places. The tastiest item on the platter was the sausage, which sums it up really.

    Enjoyed my experience overall but for a restaurant that claims to be an American style smokehouse…I couldn’t pick up even a hint of smoke flavour in any of the food. In saying that, overall I enjoyed my experience and everything I ate was cooked and presented nicely with friendly service. Left extremely full.

    The food wasn’t amazing or very hot considering the price. I have visited before and it was much better. The burnt ends mash was cold so had to send it back. Overall it just wasn’t the standard I would have expected from such a well know establishment

    I booked a table for 4 people weeks ago, probably more than 5 weeks prior to going and also where I was asked if it was a special occasion I put that it was for our friends who just got married and this was our present to them. When we arrived we was put down stairs next to the toilets and near a large table of guys on a birthday night that were extremely loud ..... the staff were really nice and can't fault them but table allocation and food were a major disappointment!

    Excellent food & our server was amazing. Booths are a little uncomfortable when there is 6 of u so will ask for a different table next time. We all had burgers which were to die for & we tried the chicken as well which was juicy, tasty and the coating is delicious. Will definitely be going back! It's a little expensive but we were drinking double bourbons so what do u expect!

    So for me, RDS is too expensive for what it provides. It used to be good five years ago or so but now not so much. The drinks are fairly priced but the issue I have with it is the platters. For two people to eat one platter it will cost £62 for a platter and what’s worse the platter is small it’s not that big. Then if you don’t want that then you can go for a burger and even that is expensive with no sides. £18 burgers with no sides part of Ron beans of slaw. How does that work. RDS would do much better if they were fairer with prices.

    Been to Red Dog before at had an amazing time. Our initial plans fell through for another venue, so having had the positive experience before, we decided to see if Red Dog had space, which they did. Although I appreciate it was a late booking on the day, after being seated and ordering, we received our food after a slightly longer-than-anticipated wait. Once the food had arrived and we got stuck in, we were disappointed that the beef rib was very tough, to the point it was difficult to get off the bone. The chicken wings were a bit on the cold side and two of our sides were missed, despite then showing on the bill at the end. Our waitress then told us when bringing the bill over that we were "lucky" as we had the last platters of the day, which may explain the tough beef rib. This was disappointing for us as from previous experiences the food has been incredible, but this time it was not to the same standard. Other than that, the other food was lovely and the service was good.

    It is with regret I have to leave this review! I booked this reservation months ago and traveled from Somerset with our friends for a celebratory dinner for our friends wedding anniversary. Unfortunately the service was very poor, we ordered a round of drinks and after 45 minutes only 2 arrived. We approached a waitress who told us they were short staffed and she could help she literally ran away whilst we tried to talk to her. It took one of us to get up and find someone else to finally get the other drinks delivered 1 hour after we arrived. After another 30 minute wait (food was ordered at the same time as the drinks) our starters and half mains order all arrived at the same time all being lukewarm. More complaints and delays we finally got the food that was ordered. The food although not hot was very tasty but the whole experience was ruined by poor customer service and lukewarm food. I am so disappointed and embarrassed that I’d arranged this for our friends and the whole thing was ruined.

    First time visit and would go back again. Fast and friendly service. Food was amazing. Can get noisey depending on time you visit. We went on a Saturday afternoon, so was fairly busy and noisey. Toilets are small and a bit cramped but clean. We shared a kentucky platter which at first glance I thought was on the small side, but actually was the right amount of food for us both. The salted caramel cheesecake for dessert was a bit of a let down. I have had better else where, so i would suggest to skip dessert here and stick with the meats that they cook so well!

    Really great place to eat. Burgers are excellent. They have limited the menu on sides since we first started going though, which is a shame and it is a lot more expensive now, for less food. But still a great option if you enjoy bbq.

    The food was great, our server was lovely and helpful. I highly recommend the chicken wings. By far the best chicken wings I’ve had in the U.K. The milkshakes are more than worth it. The service was very fast. My only issues is how loud it was and slightly to dark. I’m only 25 and I really disliked being on a date and having to yell across the table the entire night to hear eachother. The lighting wasn’t great but manageable. I would highly recommend and would go back. Just maybe for an early table or night when it’s not so busy.
