Grenoside123 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Anybody know when Cosmo next door to this place opens? It did say early December on the window, but that's been and gone. Regards Doom Edit: Just looked on their website and it's now saying 2014. There was a big ad for it in the local free paper yesterday which says it opens 21st Jan. Looks rather tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawsom34 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just would like to thank most of the people who have commented on this thread for a comedy read that also scares me about how a large amount of people believe change is notgood. Not been there yet but sounds ok as far as authentic goes and what a fool cancelling brisket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertramp Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't be bothered to read the thread but is it as good as Bodeans? and do they do burnt ends because if so I might move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomas Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't be bothered to read the thread but is it as good as Bodeans? and do they do burnt ends because if so I might move in. No idea about Bodeans, but they do have burnt ends (but only a limited amount each day for obvious reasons). I went a couple of weeks ago and thought it was pretty good. Had the big sharing plate and everything was good except the ribs which I found a bit dry. Particularly enjoyed the sausage and the brisket. I thought sides needed a bit more attention to detail and drinks were expensive (2 halves of Pepsi - fiver!) but overall would recommend and I'll be back.

uklady-2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Went for lunch yesterday and wish I hadn't Twice cooked chips - Decent restaurants would have thrown these away they are horrible. The pulled pork sandwich was nice but the breakcake was covered in sauce which had soaked in making the bread all soggy. We also had the side dishes of the onion rings which when eaten you could taste all the raw batter underneath. The venue it self has been refitted and looks great. It's just a pity the food isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifein Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 we went last night and found it a bit of a mixed experience really, we had two sharing platters between 5 of us (it was the right amount of food) most of the meat was really good but the turkey leg was very black on the outside and inedible on the inside, I did point this out to the waitress and she informed me it was because it was barbecued ! I thought that drink prices were expensive ie £2.50 for a half pint of Chiron and £2.50 for a jam jar of Pepsi. The puddings were kind of thrown together, my grandson didn't like his and the waitress did deduct it from the bill, which was nice. A lot of other people in the restaurant were having burgers which looked very tasty. We enjoyed the evening, we had a very attentive waitress and most of the food was good but I don't think I would go back, not my kind of restaurant really but can see why it would appeal to some. Some very good blues music playing which added to the experience. We had thought of going to Cosmo instead but having read some of the reviews glad we chose Smoke.

Jame Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Food was ok but found it a little expensive for the quality you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiggs Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 the turkey leg was very black on the outside and inedible on the inside, The turkey is terrible, not really sure what they are thinking with that. The brisket, pulled pork, and chicken were great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
