Ironbark BBQ

Amazing food, great staff!
Highly recommend doing there smoking Course.
Meat is so tender and flavored to perfection

Carrots. You’ll fall in love with carrots. I’m serious.
The Lumberyard restaurant is run by the team behind Ironbark BBQ, which serves up barbeque behind the front bar of The Workers Club. (Or, as it should be called, The Workers’ Club.)
Combining American with British comfort food might sound stodgy and boring — mashed potatoes and the like. But it’s elevated to almost haute cuisine (without the pricetag). You can try the classics, like black pudding (which, having lived in the U.K. not once but twice, I can say with authority is some of the best I’ve had). Then there are the more unusual offerings: be bold and order the dripping. Think of what Marmite/​Vegemite would taste like were it actually made with leftovers from barbeque. Spread a little on bread as an appetizer — salty but good.
The rest of the menu is phenomenal. The meat is beyond good, but it’s really the sides that stand out (and make this a great place for vegetarians!). There’s the mac’n’cheese, which I remember from the Ironbark BBQ pop-​up, Trashed, at The Baron Said earlier this year. The guys have made it even better with the addition of shaved mushrooms. But it’s the carrots that will have you dreaming. They taste like they’ve been infused with smoke. You have to try them to understand.
The Lumberyard is in a hidden room behind the front bar that hadn’t been used. The team have decked it out with all the trappings worthy of making it the best date night you’ll ever have. There are old tools on the walls, tree branches — everything old-​timey and comfortable. Add in a million candles, and if you’re not holding hands across the table by the end of the night — well, it’s not *my* fault, is all I’m sayin’.

Here with four others so got to try most of the menu… Everything was delicious. Even the black pudding went down well.
