It ain’t just Barbrcue. Our bars are STACKED with a range of Craft Beer that’ll have you feeling like a kid in a sweet shop, original Cocktails, plus a pretty substantial range of Tequila & Bourbon to boot.

Off the booze? No sweat! Half of our signature cocktails are available with alcohol free spirits, or we have our house-made Sodas, Ice Tea & famous Chargrilled Lemonade!

Barbecue, Cocktails & Craft Beer. It’s been the three pillars of Craft & Cleaver since Day 1.

Great BBQ deserves great sauce!

Our House BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce are made right here in our kitchens by our Pitmasters. No bought-in nonsense. No central production facility. No shortcuts. Just quality ingredients, carefully balanced and fine-tuned to complement the barbecue coming out of our smokers every day.

We don’t drown our meat in sauce – we’ve spent too many hours tending the pits for that. We want the smoke, bark and seasoning to do the talking. The sauce is there for you to enjoy your way: a little on your brisket, a dip for your fries, or a generous drizzle if that’s your thing.

Both are available to buy to take home, so we can judge you at home while you’re eating takeaways in your pants…
