From street food to market stall to restaurant

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Apr 7, 2021

Low & Slow began as a street food stall on Gloucester Road before getting a market stall at St Nick’s.

They are now set to open their first permanent barbecue restaurant, promising ‘slow cooked fast food’.

“Fast food has been dominated by burgers and fried chicken for far too long and we want to do something a bit different,” say Low & Slow co-founders Jack Geach and Lyndsey Murdoch.

Low & Slow are opening on Whiteladies Road in the former premises of Boston Tea Party, who are moving a few hundred metres up the road to the former River Cottage Kitchen on Blackboy Hill.

Customers at the counter-service restaurant will be able to see their food being prepared and will also be able to customise orders to their liking.

“We know what customers are looking for has changed,” add Jack and Lyndsey.

“Quality and convenience are now top priority. Customers have been really receptive to our model throughout the pandemic and we are so excited to be able to bring our food to a whole new audience on Whiteladies Road.

“The recipes we will be using have been being perfected over the last five years. Barbecue is a real labour of love and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
