• Barbecue • Failsworth

Booked 13 times today

In 2016 the Old School BBQ was born, using a freshly imported 1982 Bluebird International American school bus from Arizona as a mobile kitchen.The bus was converted from a traditional seated bus to a fully functional kitchen, with smokers and griddles to cook low and slow BBQ food. The OSB journey had begun, trading from humble beginnings on a local pub car park in Failsworth. Our little yellow bus soon became a familiar landmark and we became more and more popular with lunch goers who wanted freshly prepared, appetising food served with a smile. Soon demand meant that we would be more often than not greeting our customers with a "sold out" sign, so it was time to expand.So here we are, with a covered seated area serving our firm favourites, complemented with a fully licenced bar and WC facilities... did we mention the stage? That's right, we also provide live music from various acts from near and far - we are sure you will find our eatery to be like no other!

Amazing food. Service a little slow to begin with but more than made up for it once they got going. Drinks and food arrived quickly once ordered and were all very good.

Dined on 8 Nov 2024
The fact is we were running 15 mins late I rang and was assured that the table will be reserved for us. When we got there the atmosphere was electric . They gave us a seat at a corner table and were obstructed from seeing the centre stage . We kindly asked to be moved and they did move us to a more suitable booth. The food was delicious , I ordered Sea Bass and I can say one of the best I have tasted so far. Entertainment was really good.
