About The Pit
On Holloway Rd in London, The Pit is a barbecue restaurant at number 98-100 that serves American-style BBQ. The menu centres on three meats: beef brisket, pork ribs and sausages. Brisket is served as a meal with sides, so a single order covers the meat and its accompaniments, and the ribs and sausages sit alongside it on the same menu. The restaurant is open daily, so the barbecue is available any day of the week, with no closed day to plan around.

“I live locally and have passed this new BBQ spot many times but got round to trying it last night, I tried the brisket meal which was really nice, juicy brisket and generous portion. Will definitely be eating this again.”
- Harry Vockins
“Very tasty and authentic American style bbq. Prepared by Chanel. Fantastic service and a true experience of proper barbecue. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in good food.”

“Ordered on Too Good To Go and place was shut, hours before it's stated times.”
- Joanne Lana
“Do not order from here on Too Good to Go. Got to the restaurant at 9:30pm only for the place to be locked and clearly shut (but were taking orders on Deliveroo?). Unsure if this is a trick or a lack of awareness from the business, but it is fustrating for your customers especially when adding such a late pick up time. Unfortunately due to this will be avoiding 👎🏻”
- Tom Scott
“Wish I'd read the Google reviews before ordering too good to go. Don't put yourself on there and make people come to you if you're closed :(.”
