Discover the Best BBQ Joints in London

Porky's is a barbecue lovers' heaven! This local favorite has mastered the art of authentic Memphis barbeque flavour, dishing up meaty rib tips slathered in homemade BBQ sauce, juicy prime hamburgers, whole smoked chickens and more. With three locations throughout London, you’ll never be too far from a bite of Porky's deliciousness.

Bodean's founder, Andre Blais, brings the taste, style and soul of traditional Kansas City barbecue to the U.K. Londoners have been flocking to this shop for a decade (en counting) due to its desirable beer selection and addicting BBQ dishes.

With various locations throughout the city, you’ll be a hop and a skip away from a dish of London’s best ribs, regardless of your exact location. If you have to choose, we recommend the Tower Hill location due to its close proximity to one of London's must-see sightseeing attractions, Tower of London (and many more things to do in Central London.)

Tip: Don’t forget to grab a bottle of their speciality BBQ sauce to bring home!

Looking for the complete Texan BBQ experience on the other side of the Atlantic? Head to the Blues Kitchen for live music, a festive honky-tonk atmosphere, and an unforgettable southern-style meal. This eatery offers all of the classics dishes we've come to crave from a good barbecue, including crispy buttermilk fried chicken, jambalaya, brisket beans and sweet cornbread. If you’re craving a cocktail, a local favorite is the Johnny Smash -- old forester, triple sec, captain morgan, drambiu, soda & mint.

Already licking your lips? Before you rush to the location nearest you, don't forget to check their site for listings of upcoming shows and concerts at their Shoreditch, Camden, and Brixton locations. At the Blues Kitchen, you truly never know when you'll discover Britain's next biggest jazz and bluegrass talent while grazing on some delectable barbeque wings! 

Originally launched in 2012 as a pop-up restaurant, the Brixton BBQ eatery The Joint offers everything the name implies, and then some. Founded by Chef Warren Dean and Daniel Fiteni, this barbecue joint marries the arts of baking and cooking to create a trendy, mouth-watering place to eat dedicated to serving exceptional food and drink. 

In-the-know locals come for the perfectly-smoked pulled pork and chicken sandwiches on buttery-yet-light, homemade brioche buns. To top it off? We recommend grabbing a handful of sides like the addicting grilled sweet corn and spicy wings.
