The brothers said: “It’s mad to think we’ve been closed for four months because of lockdown, but it gave us chance to really fine comb the business and see what was working and what we wanted to change.

“We will be focusing more on the barbecue menu with some big additions. We’ll be pimping out our burger menu with some huge signature burgers based around what people were creating when we had our customisable smashburger station at Ships.




“We will also be opening for lunch – just not straight away – with a BBQ street food menu based on our old menus when we were starting out doing events.

“We’re both very excited to get back into the swing of it all and start barbecuing again. We are going into this with everything we’ve got and we can’t wait to share our dream with everyone.”
