On the menu since day one.

Our chicken is coated in a batter we make completely in-house using a blend of different flours and roughly 14 ingredients to create that deep, dark crust we’re known for. Crisp, rich and full of flavour.

Our brine, well that's a whole other story!

Finished in our own Nashville hot oil blend with house-made pickles and our Louisiana remoulade

Brisket. It’s been with us from day one.

It’s changed over the years — through practice, time, and learning.

We spent time working with Ali Clem, owner of La Barbecue in Austin, Texas ( Michelin-star barbecue, might we add ) at Big Grill Festival in Dublin last year. It pushed us to rethink things, moving from low and slow to a hot and fast approach on our briskets that, for us, produces the best brisket we’ve ever put out.
Cheers

What hasn’t changed is where it starts.

Angus–Hereford cross, raised in the southeast of Ireland. Grass-fed, properly reared — Irish beef.

We source it through McConnell's Butchers — our butcher, Shane McConnell, the maestro of meat.
He’s been with us since the beginning, selecting briskets exactly how we need them.


Salt. Black pepper. That’s it.
Smoked over oak from Goodwood Fuel.


Smoked by Eoin

Served true to tradition — no sauce on it.
We’ll give you sauce on the side, and you decide.

Eoin leans fatty. I lean lean.
That’s the beauty of brisket — it’s yours to enjoy your way.

From their farms to your fingers.

It’s the pride and joy of Texas barbecue — and one of ours too.

Most of it gets sliced onto your tray.
The rest goes into chilli and hotlinks + tallow
Nought wasted.

That’s our brisket 🔥
Built over time, backed by good people, and cooked the way we believe works best
