Bodean's BBQ Smoke House in London

- " Need no teef to eat my beef" -

If you fancy an all American BBQ Meat fix... Bodean's is the place to go. 

I've been to 2 of their branches, one in Soho and the other in Tower Hill, and both times had a crazy meat-fest which was finger-lickin good! 

As we had my cousin visiting from abroad last week, I thought it'd be nice to have him try the All American BBQ at Bodean's and more specifically the pulled pork. 

We went to the Soho branch and as we were a group of 6, we were seated downstairs where there were more comfy booths for us to sit.

The Bodean's Menu is pretty extensive with lots of options and combinations to try. Naturally, being a greedy cow and wanting to eat bits of everything, we ordered the Platters to Share. 

Beware ... they are HUGE and although they say platters for 2, they are definitely big enough to share between 3 or even 4 if you are also going to have sides and starters... and desserts!

We had 2 X Boss Hog Platter to share between the 6 of us and trust me... it was more than enough! 

Boss Hog Platter 

The Boss Hog Platter consists of a full selection of their finest meats including Spare ribs, Baby back ribs, a Jacob's Ladder Beef Rib, Burnt Ends, Pulled Pork, Chicken Things and 2 Smoked Sausages all served with Fries and Coleslaw. AND as if this was not enough ... we also ordered succulent Hot Buffalo Chicken Wings and Onion Rings as sides.

Crispy Onion Rings 

Too good to resist! The Buffalo Wings are really really delicious and there's no other way to eat them but with your fingers!!  The milkshakes are also nice if you want to go for the Full on American experience! Just ensure you go there hungry so you can actually eat and drink everything they have to offer! :p

If you're planning to be a regular at Bodean's, then sign up to the Bodean's BBQ - Q Card. 

This can be done online on their website and then they send you a card via Post. 

As a member of Q Card, you can then benefit from great deals such as free desserts or free 1/2 dozen of Buffalo Wings! :p  I've signed up and waiting to receive my card ... it's free and there's no harm in having one in my purse 'just in case'! :) 

Enjoy!

At The Diner in Central London

If you are looking for an all American Style Diner in London, simply head to 

The Diner in Soho just off popular Carnaby Street in the West End London.

Simple and uncomplicated, with everything you would expect from a Diner 

(speaking from experience through what can be seen on TV ), the only thing 

missing would probably be the waitresses on their roller skates! 

Oh well, can't get everything nowadays!! :p

Very Original Logo of The Diner 

So one lovely afternoon, we grabbed a quick bite at The Diner and were left pretty 

happy after our very copious meal!

As starters, the chilli fries were a treat! I have not had chilli fries for a very long time 

and after having tasted this one, I will definitely be coming back for more! 

We also had their onions rings to share as a starter which pretty much 

lost attention next to the chilli fries!

Very unhealthy fried starters but so yummy when eaten! 

For mains, unless you are really hungry for carbs, I would not recommend the burrito! 

So filling and heavy, it felt like eating a brick and especially after the chilli fries ... 

hmm...  if I knew I'd have the chilli fries as my main! :)

Not so attractive Burrito when it was served ... 

But then again ... when I saw The Diner burger coming, it was clear I'd made the wrong choice 

with the burrito which only looked appetising on the menu...

The Diner Burger served as an Open Bun ...  Look at the bacon and cheese! omg!

I had a bite and I guess you can never go wrong with a Burger at a Diner! :)   

It looked scrumptious and it was!

This time we did not have any dessert but it's on my list to try and next time 

we will go straight for the dessert section ... ok... maybe a portion of chilli fries to get us started! 

hehe... We shall see when the time comes!

The Diner we visited was the one in Soho but depending on where is most convenient for you, 

The Diner also has a branch in Islington, Camden, Shoreditch and Kensal Rise.
