• Steakhouse • Bury St. Edmunds

Booked 10 times today

Meat & Greet BBQ started in 2019, where initially we sold uncooked meats which had been seasoned with spice blends from all across the world. The Covid pandemic saw the business begin to grow rapidly – with us delivering our high-quality meats all around the clock, direct to customer’s doors and helping people in need to get food they required.In 2021, many of our customers were asking us to add a street food element to the business so that our delicious meats could be enjoyed on the go. With Lee having an existing passion for being behind the grill; already owning several BBQs and cooking outdoors on them all year-round. Using the best cuts of meat, seasoned with fresh blends of herbs & spices cooked over local lump wood charcoal, Meat & Greet BBQ came alive in the summer 2021. 18 months down the road we have one of the best reputations in East Anglia, not only for BBQing but as a distinguished street food vendor.

We arrived at around 16:50 and were told the restaurant was closed completely, despite the website saying only the kitchen was closed until 17:00. Otherwise, the service was great. The food tasted great, I had the vegan oyster mushroom bao bun and the pumpkin croquettes katsu curry which both tasted amazing and were great value. Overall, no complaints other than the slightly unclear opening times.

We had a lovely meal, everyone in the party enjoyed their food. Was a bit of a wait for food, dessert and paying the bill (didn’t realise we were meant to pay at the bar) but otherwise we had an enjoyable evening.
