About The Bar-B-Q Pit
On Westmead Rd in Sutton, The Bar-B-Q Pit is a kebab shop where orders are placed at the counter. Kebabs arrive with salad and sauce included, keeping the format straightforward. Cash is accepted and preferred over card. Ordering in person tends to move faster than placing an order online, where the wait can run longer. Delivery is also offered and tends to arrive quickly. There is no seating described, and the shop runs on a walk-in basis rather than taking reservations.

Customer Review Summary
The lamb doner draws the most attention, with many describing it as hot, generous, and consistently satisfying, often arriving with free salad and sauce on kebabs and quick delivery. Several longtime customers, some ordering for over a decade, praise the chips and note extras like free added doner or a surprise strawberry cheesecake swapped in when a dessert was out of stock. A few mention it's cheaper and faster to order in person with cash rather than through delivery apps during busy periods. Against this, a recurring complaint has emerged recently about inconsistent quality, with one reviewer calling the lamb doner dry, overcooked, and inedible, and another describing a separate order as greasy, salty, and soggy, with an entire £55 order thrown away. The pattern reviewers describe is a shop that built its reputation on reliability but has drawn sharper criticism when that consistency slipped.

“The BBQ pit used to be so consistent with it's food quality but as of late the lamb Donner especially is so hit and miss in regards to quality. It's actually been inedible where is so dry and over cooked. I wouldn't recommend anymore because of this.”
