It isn't cheap but is well worth the money especially if you go with the kids as they eat free.... whenever! A nice sunday roast at home or pay for 2 meals and still feed the family, without all the hassle jackpot. This place does hold many functions including weddings and always has events going on, it is well worth checking out. The fact that it is set in the middle of a village not close to anything doesn't do it any favours for those going for the night but well worth the trip. Almost forgot to add that they now have a masterchef quarter finalist in the kitchen so thats not worth sniffing at.

Brisket is very good, pulled pork okay, mac cheese is poor…read more Icecreams are very good, cheese cake is not a bad effort. The cider mashes are surprisingly good, definitely worth a bash! Update: this is definitely the best if the twickenham trio of bbq joints. Staff are quirky but very friendly. Dulce de leche icecream/shake is to die for. Wings excellent. Sweet potato fries great. St louis ribs good. Beans with pulled pork very nice. Avoid the mac and cheese options, and pickles. Update 2: chilli watery, lacking in depth. Corn bowl okay. Slaw good but spicy.

Well, it was not what I was expecting! I went with some colleagues for lunch and I wasn't thrilled…read morewith the prospect. The outside and inside decor look like a really terrible American low-quality food chain and I wasn't excited to try it. But! We had the loveliest waitress, very attentive, very happy to walk through the menu and spot on. The guys had banana milkshakes and I loved that they came with little bright green curly straws - cute to see these manly men with their petite straws. The food was really lovely too. One colleague got the hot dog - it was incredible looking, enormous and slathered with stuff. I did think it would be impossible to eat with your hands, but he proved me wrong. My chicken wrap was really tasty and nicely done, and the fries were delicious - possibly the best I've had in a while. When one friend couldn't finish his sausage platter with mac and cheese, the waitress cheerfully wrapped it up for him so he could carry it away. Nice! The music was terrific, a great mix of old blues. So why oh why is there a big screen telly playing current music videos over the bar, complete with naked writhing women and gangsters? Shut it off - you're ruining the vibe you actually got me to like. Is it cheesy? Yes. But it's supposed to be. And it's good. But shut off that damn tv.

My best friend and I popped in here for some dinner at about 9:30pm, so immediately I was quite…read morepleased that it was still open! We both had the Burnside Burger (cheese, bacon) and skin-on fries. The food came quite quickly, which I assume was because there was only two other parties in the restaurant at the time, but regardless I'll still give them points for a speedy delivery. The burger was quite messy but that's what made it authentically American. The patty itself was a little thinner than I expected and didn't have much of a taste to it so I assume it wasn't seasoned very well, but the cheese melted over it nicely. I would've thought they'd use American streaky bacon but it was actually thick, back rasher English bacon which I preferred. The fries were lovely, a huge portion for one person, and the sauces on the table were all brilliant (we tried them all, my personal favourite was Carolina BBQ). Overall an okay experience and at quite a low price too. £20 for two meals and two drinks, you really can't beat it, even though I would have liked my burger to be more seasoned.

Considering that the Brighton Smokehouse has featured on Nigel Slater's cooking show and has won…read moreRadio 4's best take away award, I don't know how I managed to miss this place for so long! I must have walked passed it hundreds of times as it is nestled under the arches on Brighton seafront right in the middle of the historic fishing quarter, and for some reason I have never ventured in. Anyway, I broke my smokehouse virginity a few weeks ago when me and the boyf popped in after work on a sunny Friday evening and got a bite to eat on the beach. I went for a crab sandwich and he went for a kipper roll. Today I popped back to try their smoked mackerel pate on toast. All the fish is caught locally in Brighton and is smoked by Jack in a small shed opposite the shop. The food is by no means gastronomic but it is hearty, honest food. Yes, the bread could be better, but the fish is the key ingredient and you can't beat eating a fresh meal on the beach just meters from where it was caught. The crab sandwich features entirely brown meat, the most flavoursome in my opinion, and is a steal at £3.50 - I paid three times this for a crab sandwich on a recent trip to Cornwall. The mackerel pate is really delicious - creamy with a hint of warmth from the pepper. On top of this, they sell fish to take home if you are not hungry at the time of your visit. Jack and Linda have been running this smokehouse for what seems like an eternity. They are always happy to chat and obviously love what they do. This place should be top of the list for locals and tourists alike.

Fish and the seaside go hand in hand together. Jack and…read moreLinda Mills understand this. It's one of the reasons they opened the Brighton Smokehouse on the sea-front. A tiny shop nestled in Brighton's fishing quarter, they offer fresh fish to take away and cook at home and daily specials to eat outside on the beach. There's crab sandwiches, grilled kippers, smoked mackerel pate, deep fried white bait and plaice goujons to choose from. I've sampled a few and they've all been lip-smackingly good. Endearingly, you can eat your lunch on the sea-front, in front of the little black smokehouse they built when they moved in. If they're smoking something that day, you might even smell the oak and applewood drifting out of the hut.

The staff are very informative when it comes to the menu and making suggestions. We got cocktails which were handcrafted and delicately made. We began with the scallops and the charcuterie. The meats were fresh and paired well with the pickles and the crispy sourdough. The scallops with the nduja (a spreadable salami) were so delicious!!! Then came the guinea fowl and duck. Both were out of this world. The sides shined equally as bright. the broccoli had so much flavor and went perfectly with the quinoa. The beef dust on the cauliflower cheese was inventive and flavorful. the guinea fowl was tender with wonderfully crispy skin, as was the duck. The atmosphere is simple but lovely. It is set in what was formerly a house, and there is a cozy fireplace with the bar set under a staircase. The tables are simple with stools as seats. It worked just fine in the environment, as I think sometimes this makes the food stand out even more. I don't think it needed to be pretentious to be considered an incredible restaurant. I was extremely impressed.

Best dinner I have had in London! Yup that good , even better than the two Michelin starred…read morerestaurants I went to. Rök is a modem Scandinavian restaurant located in the trendy neighborhood of Shoreditch in East London. The restaurant and menu itself reflects the same personality as good it is situated - young, creative and laid back. There's no fancy table cloth but simple wood chairs and table; brick oven and grill in the back churning out ping ping hot yummy food; service is friendly though could be a bit more attentive( I had to pour my own water whole night). But let's get this straight, you come here for the food and that's five stars! Menu changes frequently so just order whatever looks good to you. For my starter I followed recommendation by a London based foodie and ordered the grilled scallop. Boy ! This was some of the best I have ever had! I will fly back to London every month just for this! If I can afford :/ The #scallop is served on its own shell along with konbu seaweed and nduja. The scallop was cooked perfectly- soft juicy scrumptious paired well with a mineral Italian white. For main, I got the today's special - grilled Guinea fowl aka Guinea hen with pickled porcini , pancetta and summer veggies . I took a bite and I almost wanted led to cry. No exaggeration! The bird was masterfully grilled to creat crispy skin yet maintain the juicy tenderness meat. Seasoning is spot on! The sweet pea and babyasparagus lent great contrast to the smoky savory pancetta accompanied with the guinea hen. And the portion is very generous that I could finish only half :( too bad restaurant don't do doggybag here in London. Don't miss out the burnt cabbage and pickle veggies as well. Actually if you come in with friends , tried everything on the menu! Price is very reasonable for London. If Rök is not given a Michelin next year, we should all stop reading it now. They are opening a new location in Angel neighborhood soon. Def will come back and check it out next time I am in town.

Smokin' Aces - is literally ACE in terms of taste. Wow. I can't believe how good these guys are…read more They are located in Chapel Market and only do lunch time service although apparently might open a full time restaurant somewhere. The chicken is just sublime, and the sauce selection they recommend - is brilliant with it. I go for the salad box - which includes, chicken, salad and mac and cheese. And they give lots of it. All for £5 - I repeat 5£!!! You must go at half 12 otherwise the queue can be quite lengthy. Many go because the portion sizes are incredible but the quality of the food is up there. Sometimes I can't finish it and have to take it back for dinner. what more can I say - mind blown.
