Learning to love those four walls during lockdown? Nah, us neither. We’re certainly missing beer gardens, rooftop bars and all the outdoor fun that we’d usually be having when the weather’s this good. Luckily, some of the city’s tastiest barbecue spots have come to the rescue so we can recreate the iconic BBQ at home... whether you’ve got a garden or not. From steak-filled DIY packs to ready-to-eat ribs, these are 11 of the best BBQ deliveries in London.

Smokestak
When the much-loved Smokestak announced its return with an old-school barbecue takeaway menu, mouths all across the city watered… we assume. Each Saturday sees a new menu; with the likes of brisket buns, pulled pork, mac n cheese, mustard rarebit and potato salad. Now, all we need is a pint and some sunny weather.
