• Barbecue • Failsworth
Booked 5 times today
In 2016 the Old School BBQ was born, using a freshly imported 1982 Bluebird International American school bus from Arizona as a mobile kitchen.The bus was converted from a traditional seated bus to a fully functional kitchen, with smokers and griddles to cook low and slow BBQ food.  The OSB journey had begun, trading from humble beginnings on a local pub car park in Failsworth. Our little yellow bus soon became a familiar landmark and we became more and more popular with lunch goers who wanted freshly prepared, appetising food served with a smile.  Soon demand meant that we would be more often than not greeting our customers with a "sold out" sign, so it was time to expand.So here we are, with a covered seated area serving our firm favourites, complemented with a fully licenced bar and WC facilities... did we mention the stage?  That's right, we also provide live music from various acts from near and far - we are sure you will find our eatery to be like no other!

    Had been meaning to try Higher Ground for a while after popping in one night just for a few glasses of wine. Very very glad we decided to come back for their lunch menu. Extremely friendly and genuine staff, very helpful with the menu and the food was fantastic. I recommend the bar top, counter seating where you can watch the chefs in the open style kitchen. Fantastic place and will definitely be back again soon.

    First time back after a long while and it didn't disappoint. Nice welcome on arrival and given plenty of time to settle in before we ordered drinks and then out food. Food was lovely and the order was correct (made a few alterations to some meals) Very happy with the whole experience and the price for 5 adults. Will be turning in the near future.

    Excellent food, friendly and efficient service. Found the restaurant area a bit dark. And the red logo lighting on the walls didn’t fit such a restaurant. Overall excellent dining experience.
