Pitt Cue Co. loses the trailer and lands in Soho
The Pitt Cue Co. barbecue shack on the South Bank was one of the sensations of Summer 2011, cited by many as the best example of Texas barbecue in London. When it retired late 2011, there was always a promise of more to come, and now they've opened a permanent place in the heart of Soho offering more barbecued goodness.
