BBQ & Suya — Restaurant in London

Do not use! They came 2 hours late and so the food was 4 hours late for serving. None of the sides ordered were provided, they brought frozen rice that was very spoilt , smelly and slimy. They couldn't catch up with the timing as guests were hungry and the food came out slowly.

Apart from barbecued meats, we paid for fragrant rice, jollof rice, pasta salad, yam, salad all of which was not served! Most of the corn brought to the venue was not served or roasted because of their timing. They took the uncooked pasta back with them. The dodo/plantain served was minimal.

There was a huge lack of professionalism in their service and these young men still have a long way to go in being able to deliver satisfactorily for an event. They actually went to buy most of their coal during the event which was rather shocking that they came without enough cooking materials. They were extremely unprepared.

That they thought they could bring a frozen cooler of rice to an event to serve shows their level of understanding. Bringing uncooked pasta still in their factory bags too was just unbelievable, this job was booked weeks in advance so see no reason why something easy like pasta was not prepped, just boiling and chilling the pasta from 2 days before would have worked fine!

They ended up being very rude and defensive, rather than apologetic which was unacceptable. I would not recommend Bare Tasty as they still have a long way to go in providing barbecue services...

I walk passed Bare Tasty regularly on my way back from work. I have seen the refurbishment works going on here in what seems to be forever! I always smell the sublime BBQ smoke lingering and promised I would treat myself to some BBQ one evening. I walked in and saw this amazing graffiti mural and this industrial type beast of a BBQ! I mean it looks like something out of a transformers movie! I've tried West African BBQ suya before so knew what to expect. This however was of a different league to the regular spot I go to in Peckham for suya. Firstly this place was actually very clean! No offence but a lot of suya places I've been to are an absolute state! Secondly the food was packed with flavour! I got the suya chicken with honey beans, spicy spinach and their vegetable rice. I actually went back and bought 2 more portions. Only down side was there seemed to be only chicken...

I actually tasted these guys food at an event they catered for in Essex and when driving home from my commute they came up on my search for “African grill in London” as I was feeling for some suya. I was not sure if it was the same guys as the restaurant says “Flakes” at the top. Once I entered I saw the very same young man that served me at the event in Essex and I was sure it was the same guys. I got chicken suya and whole grilled tilapia fish with jollof. WOW WOW WOW. The flavours, the heat, the spice and the smell I’m literally thinking about it as I type. Whenever I’m in London I call these guys up and...
