From The Ashes BBQ | Hackney | London

Food was good but took 75 minutes for the food to arrive.

This is the best Sunday dinner I’ve had in East London, however it was let down by the service as a couple of the lads hadn’t had enough training. That aside, the food is that good and deserved better, nice location as well.

The roast had good flavours, but half of it was cold and some of the meat was to tough to eat and fatty. Parsnips too hard.

Every bit as good as it looks on instagram. We shared a platter which was the perfect amount for 3 people (who had a big dinner booked later on!). Even better with a pint of XPA from 5 points

The way everyone was raving about this place - I had high hopes Thee worst Sunday roast I’ve had all year and also the most expensive. For £28 i got meat that could not be chewed. Service is that half arsed inattentive service you get in Hackney these days. Friendly but we had to chase them down at every point.

Extremely disappointed with the food, which was a shame considering how excited we were to eat here. The meats were all juicy and melt in your mouth - however they were simply tasteless and extremely bland. Not a whisper of garlic or one fresh herb was found in the rump, porchetta or chicken. Roasties were not crispy (though they may have been at one time) and the gravy was not simmered long enough. Just give it a miss.

Another delicious Sunday Roast spot this time from the guys @fromtheashesbbq smokehouse located in the @fivepointscourtyard We kicked things off with the pork adobo taco and what a strong start! My eyes rolled back from the first bite; great balance of flavours and heat. We pre-ordered the whole rack of short-rib which came with all the trimmings for 3 people. I kid you not, it was HEAVENLY! Melt in your mouth, smokey goodness. Not gonna lie, I was expecting the kinda ribs they had on the Flintsones so when it came I was kinda but quality over quantity all day. Just look at the smoke ring on that thing. And the biggest Yorkshires I’ve ever seen The cauliflower cheese was also banging. To get a taste of the roasts we added the all-in which has a bit of all three (smoked rump, porchetta and chicken). Not disappointed at all and definitely going back!

Truly excellent food. The doughnut, buns and tacos are not to be missed. Sunday roast also incredible.

Outstanding roasts! We went All In x2 and x1 of the half chickens.....both fab. Service was fab and in particular a massive big up to Ellis who was great! See you so soon
