🔥 NEW KITCHEN TAKEOVER AT THE WOLSEY 🔥

We’re very excited to introduce Bark & Ember — taking over the kitchen at The Thomas Wolsey from Saturday 26th September.

REAL SMOKE. REAL BARK. REAL TEXAS. 🇺🇸🔥

Behind Bark & Ember are father-and-son chefs John & John Saward, two highly experienced chefs with a shared obsession for proper Texas BBQ and slow-smoked meats.

REAL TEXAS BBQ. NO SHORTCUTS.

The smoker is fired up in the early hours, fuelled with oak wood chip. Brisket, ribs, sausages and more are cooked low and slow, giving the smoke and time a chance to do what they do best.

🔥 Proper smoke
🥩 Low & slow
🪵 Oak-fired
🤠 Texas-inspired
🍺 Served right here at The Wolsey

Patience. Smoke. Respect. Years of experience.

Want a taste of what’s coming? 👀🔥 Head over to on Instagram for a sneak peek at what these guys do — just don’t blame us if it makes you hungry.

Bark & Ember lands Saturday 26th September.
