Wish we had a place like this in Darlington. Tasty food good size portions and a fair price. Even the beer was good. If your in the area your missing out if you not dined here yet. Eat in or takeaway. Recommend the pulled pork with the beans and chips.

Such a great place to visit for meat lovers! We shared a platter and the smoked meats were exceptional! Tried all the sauces too which go great with everything. Only a few tables inside so make sure you book but it adds to the friendly atmosphere!
Great place to eat if you love your meats. Our go to for great quality takeaway can't wait till we can eat in again.

Had been shopping in bishop auckland and googled places to eat. This came up. WOW. What a little gem. Amazing service. Sorry did t get name of lass serving but she couldn't have been more lovely and helpful. Food was equal to bbq I've had in texas, usa. Will definitely be back. This is the brisket and ends with chips and onion rings. Do takeaway and sit in. Shout out for their homemade Chipotle may was amazing with a kick and I'm not even a sauce person!- Service

What a amazing secret spot. Warm welcome. An exceptional selection of low slow smoked meats and the sides were amazing. They have local craft beers and a great selection of gins. Blown away... Great work guys.

Thanks Stephen! Call again soon ☺️
Had the take away many times but it's just not the same as eating in fresh off the trays it just doesn't travel well it gets amalgamated and soft by the time your home but it still tastes fab just looks flat Presentation is far better and you are able to see what your eating Meat is cooked slow and dining in service is slow but worth the wait It's a busy place Once it's gone it's sold out
