Bodean's BBQ

About

To the uninitiated, barbecue would seem to be the simplest food there is. Fire. Meat. Eat. HOWEVER, to the true aficionado, barbecue is a cuisine that demands the freshest ingredients, flavoursome wood perfectly matched to the protein it is enhancing, extremely slow and demanding cooking, and cold beer. Though a long way from the Kansas City, the Vatican City of barbecue, Bodean's has got soul. Brought to you by the folks who created Belgo, Bodean's is a modern take on a formica-and-lino diner with an upstairs deli diner featuring high leather swivel seats, stained glass windows and very hip atmosphere - some what like the buzz of bar italia during peak times. Downstairs there is a proper restaurant with black leather banquettes and booths, a Kidz entertainment vault, and American-sized plasma screens. The menu features starters like chicken wings and crab cakes, main courses like beef or pork ribs, lots of chicken dishes like jerk chicken, lobsters, steaks, meal-sized salads, and classic pecan or key lime pie to top it all off. Slow-cooked on the best bbq pit money can buy, the food demands finger-licking. After all, as the menu says, fingers were invented before forks.

What a place to hold a down-home party right across the generations, or a sporting-event evening, or a film night (Easy Rider?), or even a very hip launch or business do. Bodean's has two areas available for private hire, the upstairs deli-diner that seats up to 40, or the downstairs restaurant that seats up to 85 with 42" plasma screen tellies and a kids' entertainment vault. Or just bring a gang and tuck in for an informal, relaxed get-together. Buffets can be tailor-made to suit your barbecuing requirements.

Please note: this restaurant is non-smoking downstairs, and smoking upstairs.
