Red's True Barbecue - London

Red’s true barbeque is one of the newest BBQ joints in shoreditch, on the great eastern street that opened its doors in summer 2015. I visited reds on Tuesday night and it was heaving. to the luck there was space in the bar below to have a happy hour cocktail before dinner! the bar is actually a really nice room with stands and cute feen lights – if that was just a bar in shoreditch, it would be heaving, but unfortunately it is a little hidden in reds. we had a honey berry smash and a strawberry and elderflower martini.

The upgrade of onion ring for £1 consisted of a single onion ring. I had the regular sized mild smoked wings. Nice smoky char grilled wings but slathered in rather a lot of sweet BBQ sauce.
