Bodean's BBQ - Soho

This relatively new edition to Soho makes a welcome change, by providing the area with the UK's first and only smokehouse restaurant, for that authentic and unmistakable barbeque flavour.

By day the upstairs dining area makes an informal lunchtime spot with their infamous Boston butt sandwich, packed full of carefully slowly smoked (12 hours actually) cooked pork, served with fries and coleslaw.

By night however, the more lavish downstairs rib room is the place to be. Here you'll find a pleasing décor consisting of a bright tartan carpet and snug booth style seating, with current North American Sporting Events on the television screens to keep you entertained.

House specialities from the wood-burning smoke-pit oven include baby back, spare or beef ribs or barbeque chicken and combo feasts such as a quarter of chicken served with a portion of baby back ribs and their special pulled pork. Other alternatives on the menu include shrimp jambalaya, or top quality melt-in-the-mouth fillet steaks with chipotle butter and jumbo gamba shrimps.

All meals are excellent value for money, especially for such superb organic ingredients. The dessert list is short but very sweet with the likes of freshly made key lime, pecan and apple pies that really hit the spot. The drinks list includes eight different types of Bloody Mary's alone, alongside an excellent choice of other cocktails and wine. With such a winning combination Bodean's is sure to become a Soho favourite in no time.

Bodean's can cater for all size parties subject to the restaurants restrictions in size and peak times; minimum number to organise a party is eight guests. The venue can also be booked out for a hiring fee, and depending on the day of the week, a minimum average spend. It would be best for you to contact them directly at the branch with your party briefing and requirements. Ground Floor Deli can take up to 45 guests and the Basement Restaurant has a capacity of 75 guests.

It is extremely difficult to quote an exact Av Cost per Head, as, though it is difficult to spend a lot on a meal unless you drink a lot, it is easy to eat very reasonably, and for less than the figures quoted.
