We're
always
on
the
lookout
for
a
great
barbecue
restaurant
and
we
were
pleased
when
we
spotted
this
new
place
in
our
local
area.
We
eat
out
relatively
often
and
it's
great
to
add
a
new
place
to
our
repertoire.
Called
in
one
Thursday
lunchtime,
just
the
wife
and
I.
No
problem
getting
a
seat
even
though
the
place
was
busy.
Service
was
great
and
the
food
was
very
good.
Chicken
wings
were
exceptional,
nachos
were
great,
although
the
barbecue
sauce
is
a
little
sweet
for
my
liking.
I
even
bought
a
trio
of
their
sauces
to
try
at
home.
All
in
all
a
good
experience,
although
I
would
hope
for
a
decent
brisket
on
the
menu
at
a
BBQ
house,
I
was
disappointed
there
wasn't.
Decided
to
call
back
for
a
second
visit
with
the
kids
after
school.
Planned
to
get
there
5
pm
one
Monday
afternoon.
An
hour
or
so
before
arriving
I
checked
online
for
table
availability
and
there
was
ample.
Decided
not
to
complete
online
booking
as
a
£20
deposit
was
required
to
hold
the
table.
(Post
COVID
so
it
doesn't
make
much
sense
to
me)
...
Can
you
guess
what
happened
next?
The
place
was
empty
when
we
arrived
and
yet
we
were
turned
away.
"Not
enough
kitchen
staff"
or
something
along
those
lines.
I
could've
walked
outside
and
booked
a
table
on
my
phone
then
walked
back
inside
to
be
seated,
bit
of
a
joke.
We
ate
at
the
Fat
Boar
instead
and
had
a
great
time.
I
understand
they
have
a
policy
and,
against
common
sense,
decided
to
stick
to
it
but
the
place
was
empty.
Why
even
be
open
at
all
if
you
don't
accept
walk-ins
under
those
conditions?
Very
reluctant
to
go
back
there
again,
very
unhappy
to
be
turned
away
while
the
place
was
empty.
Shame
