Got a rare day off on Monday wife and kids want a day out up London

So little girl wants to go tower of London that's easy and ticked off as booked

Eldest son and his mum want to go for bodeans

Me I want an easy life but I am bored of bodeans

Great food great prices great atmosphere and they are really family friendly

So I have heard of red dog and I recall a thread on here about it also


But where else is a really good pit or smoke house that is as friendly as bodeans and that the food is as good if not better

Remember it's got to have BBQ food that a little man( he eats anything so is not an issue)

A 5 yr old and 13 yr old who love the big hog combo and tuck in on their mum and dads dinner whilst eating their own chicken or hotdog / burger meals


Come on people what's on offer in London that fits, I won't have the bodeans is shit talk I like it, I just want a change in scenery we have been to all of their London restaurants

    Red Dog is good,but for family orientated maybe somewhere like a TGIS would be ideal,foods not bad in there either

    Let me get this right:

    1. Your wife wants to go to Bodeans.

    2. Your son wants to go to Bodeans.

    3. The food at Bodeans is great; there is a great atmosphere there; and it's family friendly.

    4. You have to go somewhere that has the same type of food as Bodeans.

    5. Your 5 year old and your 13 year old love the food they serve there.

    And, critically...

    6. You want an easy life.

    Seems this is a conundrum that is pretty easily solved.

    Plus there's a Bodeans next to Tower of London.

    Neil Rankin is probably the best BBQ chef in the country and this is his place in Islington.

    Pretty sure its kids friendly as well.

    Cabana on Upper St.

    Family friendly place and it's 2-4-1 if you have one of them tastecards I think...

    Been here a few times and the food is great. Not sure it's 'family friendly' tho in the same way the other places are.

    Edit: I mean it's friendly but not family orientated

    I have three children all in private education so am a bit biased here, but I can see Chizz's point (in a way). Whilst it can seem a little unfair they have special tax exemptions, if they didn't have charitable status they would have to charge even larger fees which in some cases would put potential parents off sending their kids there.

    By the way, I'm not one of those rugby types who drives a big 4x4 wearing a tweed jacket. I'm just lucky enough to be able to send my kids somewhere where I beleive (hope) they will get a platform to get into a good university and get a good start in their career in later life.

    Haha. As long as she is happy to still go out with her old dad for dinner further down the line then that's all that matters. even if you're to keep quiet and not embarrass her by asking for a bottle of Blue Nun

    hmmm, Bodeans.

    Love it there, and couldn't get more ideal for Tower of London
  • colthe3rdcolthe3rd
    Bodeans has gone downhill in the last couple of years. Red Dog is of a fairly similar standard really.

    I haven't seen Pitt Cue Co mentioned, that's good but you may have to queue.

    That's ok. And, just for the record, I'd be pleased if we sign the other Tal Ben Haim; it's terrible that the Valley Express is going to stop; I didn't feel the Earthquake last night; and I haven no comment at all about taking dogs on holiday to France.
