One of Bristol’s most talked-about restaurants is crossing the bridge.
Spitfire Barbecue is set to open its first Welsh site right in the heart of the capital at 39–41 St Mary Street on he site of the old Meating place, bringing with it a fiery passion for authentic, smoky flavours from South Africa crossed with Americana.
Known for its dedication to real barbecue, Spitfire is all about letting the natural flavour of the meat shine. Every cut is carefully rubbed and glazed rather than drenched in sauce, before being cooked caveman-style directly over hot coals or smoked low and slow in authentic Texan smokers. The result? Bold, rich, and deeply satisfying flavours in every bite.
The menu at Spitfire is a celebration of barbecue culture from across the globe. Expect South African Braai grilled over roaring wood fires, American-style slow-smoked classics, and a host of other smoky specialities, all served in their signature mess tins. Think ribs that fall off the bone, brisket with melt-in-the-mouth texture, and flame-seared steaks packed with flavour.
Spitfire has built a strong reputation in Bristol for its no-nonsense approach to barbecue, and the new Cardiff restaurant promises to bring the same energy to the city centre. Whether you’re a die-hard meat lover, a fan of proper low-and-slow cooking, or simply someone who enjoys food with fire and soul, this is set to be one of the most exciting new openings of the year.
