One of London's best barbecue pop-ups has found a permanent home. Hon's BBQ has taken over the former Silo site overlooking Hackney Wick's canal, where it’ll be serving Texan-style low-and-slow barbecue with a distinctly Hong Kong twist. Expect smoked ox cheek, Sichuan beef short ribs, pork ribs and mac & cheese studded with lap cheong, alongside a good wine list and soundtrack. Meat is sold by weight until it's gone, so arriving early is strongly advised.
