    Had a smashing lunch with a friend. First time visiting other than for a Sunday roast. Place was buzzing. Thoroughly enjoyed my ribeye, beef dripping chips and broccoli and walnut salad with a nice bottle of red. Good service and not rushed. Very decent value too Will be back.

    Have been visiting Red Dog at Hoxton square since they launched, but we had a long hiatus since 2020 (boo-hiss). Me and 4 mates, all BBQ lovers with an assortment of eggs and offsets to smoke at home came for a catch up. Buffalo wings have always been a stalwart starter at RD, the burned end nuggets are an amazing addition to the menu, and the sausage platter all went down well; great spice levels in the morcilla. Shared a platter and some full cuts for mains; brisket was excellent, other cuts great, pork ribs were the only slight let down without much flavour- sauce to the rescue. Great service from our lovely waitress who had to put up with our table's antics, all in all glad to be back to a great venue with some great meat dishes.
