Reviews
Really busy on a Friday night but a great atmosphere & a huge variety of food. Highly recommend the braai bread & memphis tater tots, they taste amazing!! Everyone in our group highly enjoyed the food. Didn't get ohitis of our mains as we ate them straight away!! So good.
I was really impressed with the amount of gluten-free options on the menu. The jalapeno cheese-stuffed sausage was particularly good. Large portions and free refills on soft drinks. Order came quickly. In-door and outdoor seating with views over the harbour
Loved Spitfire. Visited with my son and Texan daughter in law, who fully also rated the BBQ. A feast for 3 people was £115, good value. All of the food was outstanding but shout out to the burnt ends, mac and cheese and Spitfire sausage. Service was unfailingly lovely but just a bit slow. Relax and chill into it and all good. Will return!
I have been looking forward to this since booking a few months ago. We was greeted by friendly wait staff and taken to our table. We booked a early lunch at 2pm. Now for the but that broke my heart. The brisket was not ready......our group of 3 ordered chicken wings, pulled pork, brisket burnt ends and jalapeño and cheese sausage with mac and cheese side and dirty fries. Every aspect of the meal was amazing, fresh and tasty. But.... with no brisket ready even at 3.30pm when we left it will always leave a sad bitter taste. I wanted to give it 5 stars but had to mark down for the no brisket.
A few reviews have said not value for money…I would disagree as the portion sizes are really generous. The rib was amazing, melt in the mouth and delicious barbecue sauce and rub, mac and cheese was also very good with a lovely well done crust. Only downside was inside was very noisy but food was excellent
