Red Dog is an authentic Bar and American BAR-B-Q restaurant, serving 18-hour roast ribs, brisket, aged chuck steak burgers and much more, all best enjoyed with tasty cocktails or milkshakes.


Barbeque grew up in the South of the USA where cooks learned to slow roast cuts of meat over fire pits to make them tender. Exposure to the smoke of the smouldering wood added a distinctive smoky and juicy taste to the meat. Our award-winning smokers have been imported from the USA and are built to recreate the cooking process of those original fire pits. We use the traditional American woods of hickory and mesquite to give a full smoke flavour, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 18 hours.

    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is very good and they have a great selection of cocktails !!!100% worth it.

    Great food, good prices, staff were helpful and attentive. The noise level was probably higher than normal because the rugby was on in the sports bar side but it just added to the atmosphere. Definitely be back.

    This experience was really bad. This was a stag night meal and they had no beer or better on draft they also had no beef ribs and a few other items off the menu they didn’t have. The place wasn’t even busy but we waited about 45 minutes for our drink the food actually came out before the drinks. We also ordered more drink but they never even turned up so we asked for the bill and cancelled the drink. This was very disappointing as I chose the place and booked the table everyone was complaining to me and this meal spoiled the whole night.

    Did not have anything on the menu but only told you this after you spent 20 mins waiting at the table looking at your menu deciding before someone came across for them to then tell you they had nothing really more than half the menu was not available The bar took 20 mins to get served when only 2 or 3 customers waiting Also half the bar was stacked with dirty empty glasses Not the best experience

    The experience was ok, it was a Saturday night and we were sat down in the bar area where people were drinking at the bar so it was loud, the food was very nice though.

    After a bumpy start and feeling the manager was being a bit difficult we managed to be seated. The food was amazing and would definitely go again. The brisket nachos were something else.

    First visit and we weren't disappointed, service was good, food was great, exactly what I hoped it would be. The brisket fries were amazing and the drinks were reasonably priced. We booked for 7.30 Friday night and the place was only about a third full but just enough to still give a good ambiance. We will return and will recommend to others.

    Came away with food poisining on New Years Eve, was served chicken with blood at the bone... replaced by another piece of chicken undercooked with blood dripping at the middle. Unfortunately some contamination must have happened as I was ill a few hours after. Rest of the parties meals were okay but as you can imagine I won't be wanting to return.

    We booked a party of 10 , boys night out. I have read a few reviews, but the service was quick and fabulous. A few bbq items were missing from the menu, so we mostly all had detinater burgers. A bit pricey but delicious, and some of the lads couldn’t finish it . Perfect evening

    Amazing food as always just the lack of staff let it down last night very busy and only 2 waiters rushed off their feet we waited over an hour for starters that never arrived but the mains were as good as ever. The staff were just trying their best hopefully better next time.

    Service was poor. No one came to take more drinks orders and it 45 minutes after we had finished our mains till they started to clear our table and never finished. We're told it was because they had reduced the number of staff that night because they hadn't expected it to be busy so only had one waitress. Not a good enough reason really in the run up to Christmas on a student night and a world cup semi final game was on. Poor planning.

    We had an awful experience and was recommended red dog salon, we was there for 3hours because food service was really slow, after our starter we waited an hour for our mains and when they come out 4/6 meals was cold :( We had to then wait longer. We went about 1:30 and my family are a family of three and cost £75 For lunch which I thought was a bit steep especially after our experience. After everything I don’t think I will go back.

    Got one of the children’s orders wrong. And then the waiter who I asked. Then argued with me to say that’s what was written on the order. But it wasn’t what I asked for.

    Whilst I understand it was hectic due to the football which we were expecting, it was a bad experience from the start. Firstly, I had booked the table for 6pm but it wasn't ready for when we arrived and we were seated at 6.08 (table 7/1). The food we ordered was not up to usual standards and again we understood the pressure was on due to the football but the brisket fries I ordered, the fries were cold, the brisket was cold and the mac and cheese had clearly been sat there for some time. I was informed my burger would arrive a little pink but again, I wasn't expecting it to be tepid. To really top off the already quite stressful evening, at 655 (less than 50 minutes after we had sat down) we were told "sorry we're going to need this table back in about 10 minutes" we had clearly not enjoyed our food as the vast majority of it was left and we were still talking and having a drink following the meal. The entire experience was rushed, stressful and the food was not what we expected. To spend £61.88 on less than 50 minutes of such awful service is an absolute scam, and for £5.63 of that to be for a service charge to go to staff that were unhelpful.
