   Been a few times since 2019, always excellent food, first time we have been since the menu has changed, its not particularly close to us but only 20-30 minutes away down the motorway, and we will return again, its a unique experience and well worth it. Only ever been on a Thursday so its pretty quiet, would love to come down some time when the entertainment is on!

   Another great night. Staff very good. Food is what we enjoy. Only complaint was it needed to be hotter. We got the sharing platter. But it was still warm enough to eat to start with. The entertainment is always great. Welsh couple singing. Brilliant. Would love to see them again. The vibe is very good. The lighting is great. Will definitely be back As always we often recommend it to our customer’s and friends to head over to eat there. They won’t be disappointed

   Food was delicious! No faulting the main meal but not all desserts were available and the vanilla ice cream, I think was homemade, but abit bland. Service good but a little slow to say how quiet it was. Overall we would definitely visit again and the comments are just minor details, all of our party enjoyed our food. There is also a very good selection of drinks.

    I’ve been to the BBQ bus several times since it opened including before it had its permanent site in Hollinwood. The venue itself has come on leaps and bounds over the years and has a much cosier feel now, you wouldn’t realise you are in a big tent, it’s clean, warm and dry. Ambience was good and service good and the little additions like the pool table and projector screen annd deserts counter are a nice touch. The food wasn’t bad but I just don’t think it was as good as when it was just Mark in the bus at the Pole on his own. This probably comes with the demand of the place though and having to turn out more food for more customers. The food was still very nice though, it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for and you can tell from the taste that the ingredients used are quality ones. A repeat customer who will no doubt be back again soon.
