The curtains are a good thing though. I have walked past in the summer when the tables outside are in use. The clientele are comical, best that they are kept out of view. It looked like a spoof of Made In Chelsea. Lots of very self-important people and dolly birds. The whole set up just looks...
I have adjusted my opinion of The Worlds End. Went there yesterday at 2 for the BBQ, waited until pub emptied after the Liverpool Man U game and when it was cleared me and chums took a table. Waited a bit longer expecting either the tv to be turned off or at the very least the volume reduced...
Went to The Worlds End for the BBQ Shack again last night. Pulled pork sandwich and a pint of APA. Dessert (butterscotch cake) and coffee were taken at The Duke of Yorks.

I went to The Worlds End last night and checked out the Texan pit-BBQ menu after hearing superlative reports from friends and reading the highest praise from Jay Raynor. The chef learnt his trade in Texas and has held the British BBQ title for 3 consecutive years now. Without doubt the best...
