Our smokehouse in Covent Garden is the destination for authentic American barbeque, right in the heart of the West End, you can get all your smoked meats fix and still be a moments walk from the likes of Theatre Royal, The Novello and The Lyceum theatres (as well as many more…) making it a perfect spot for a pre-theatre meal or a post-show drink.You may have seen it in the dispatches, but we’ve joined forces with chef, butcher and meat expert Richard H. Turner to deliver our menu. Richard is regarded as the ‘King of London’s Carnivores’. We’ve been focused on going back to our original philosophy of ‘Barbecue, Bourbon & Beer’ and as always, we’re still smoking our own meats but we’re really embracing the art of ‘low & slow’ to transform our signature cuts: think, Brisket, Jacob’s Ladder and Baby Back Ribs to name a few.As lifelong connoisseurs of Kansas City BBQ, we take pride in delivering an experience that captures the essence of our favourite American flavours.

    Having visited the Nomad restaurant previously I was keen to see the new improvements and rebranded Twenty8 restaurant. It’s such a good location in the heart of Covent Garden. The room now has a lovely light and airy feel in the daylight and turns ambient and romantic later in the evening. There is a DJ on a Friday/Saturday, it added a fun vibe not hardcore pulsing music just nice background tunes. The food was really good, reluctant to say improved as enjoyed it before but had stepped up a notch. The staff and service were excellent, everyone greeted us with a smile and friendly attitude. We had a very enjoyable evening. It’s now a cool, sophisticated but not too stuffy place to eat, a destination in itself as supposed to just a hotel restaurant. Great food, service and cocktails!
