DEXTER is a no rules approach to American BBQ brought to you by Adam Goldblatt, Sam and Tom Peasnell. Our meatery features the best Australian produce which is treated the right way. Chefs Tom (Pitt Cue Co, London) and Adam (Homeslice, London) pay homage to the low and slow traditions of American BBQ utilising smoking, chargrill techniques and pair this with flavours from Mexico, China, France and alike.

Came here for the second time and it did not disappoint. We had the feed me menu and we were stuffed towards the end. The entire experience was made more memorable by our lovely server Katherine! She was so friendly and attentive and made the entire experience more pleasant. Will definitely be returning for a third time!

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! We were a large group of 11 and a few had dietary requirements … everything was catered to well. They also accommodated for split bills which is not usually common for larger groups. We had the $49 set menu which was good value for money with a lot of variety. The team were friendly and seemingly calm although the place was packed.
