Our Story

BBQ done the hard way.

We started with one smoker in a Gozo backyard and a stubborn belief that brisket needs twelve hours over hickory, no shortcuts. Three locations later, that bit hasn't changed.

The rubs go on by hand. Buns get baked the same morning we serve them. Sauces are made in our kitchen, not a factory. If we can't do it properly, we don't put it on the menu.

Good to Know

How it works.

Quick answers to the questions we get on WhatsApp every week.

How do I pay?

Cash on delivery for now. Card-on-delivery is coming soon — until then, please have the cash ready.

When does my pack arrive?

Wednesdays to Saturdays across Gozo, Fridays only in Malta. Order by Wednesday 18:00 for that week's run. We'll confirm the time slot on WhatsApp.

How do I reheat it?

Every pack ships vacuum-sealed with reheating instructions inside. Most things do well at 160°C in the oven for about 20 minutes — but check the card, it's pack-specific.

What if something's wrong?

WhatsApp us on +356 9946 1681 within 24 hours of delivery. We'll either replace it on the next run or refund you. No drama.

Can I pick up instead?

Yes — pick "Pickup" at checkout and collect from any of our three spots during opening hours. No delivery fee, ready same day if you order before 17:00.

How long does the meat keep?

Sealed and refrigerated, three to five days. Frozen, about a month. Open it when you're ready to eat — once opened, finish within 24 hours.

The mac and cheese — best I've had outside of the US. The smoked meat spring rolls, very yummy sauce.
