The sun’s out, the smokers are fired up, and we’re serving summer the only way we know how – low, slow and full of that unmistakable BBQ flavour.
Whether you’re entertaining the kids, planning a day out, or just chasing that delightful smoky aroma down the street, there’s a lot going on right now at Craft & Cleaver. From family-friendly offers to festival appearances, here’s everything you need to know.
Kids Eat Free – All Summer Long
Summer holidays can be full-on. So, we’re making mealtimes a little easier for families with our Kids Eat Free offer, running right through the school break.
Every day of the week, Monday to Sunday before 5pm, you can treat the kids without denting your wallet.
Here’s how it works:
- For every Adult Main Meal ordered from our Main Menu, you’ll receive one free Kids Meal
- Available seven days a week, up until 5pm
- Not valid with other promotions or fixed-price menus
We’ve got all the family favourites covered – from chicken nuggies to smashburgers, each served with a side of friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere. Think casual, tasty and stress-free. Just turn up, grab a table, and tuck in.
More Than a Place to Eat – Stay Awhile Outside
When the weather plays nice, nothing beats great food al-fresco. Both of our restaurants in St Albans and Hitchin have generous outdoor seating areas where you can kick back, eat slow, and soak up the sunshine.
Perfect for an unhurried lunch, after-work drinks, or an early family dinner. There’s space to spread out, catch up, or just people-watch with a pint while the brisket does its thing.
Spaces do fill up fast, so we would recommend reserving a table.
Join Us at the All Fired Up BBQ Festival – Hitchin, Sunday 10th August
We’re taking the Craft & Cleaver experience on the road – straight to the heart of Hitchin for the All Fired Up BBQ Festival.
This one-day celebration is all about fire, flavour and everything that makes BBQ great. We’ll be right in the thick of it, serving up a couple of our favourites:
- Our Famous Brisket with Home Fries + Carolina BBQ – the one that built our reputation
- Our Smokehouse take on a Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich – barbecue pork with pickled vegetables, herbs, and sriracha mayo, all packed into a crusty baguette
Expect a full day of BBQ demos, live music, drinks, street food stalls, and activities for the kids – all in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
Date: Sunday 10th August
Entry: Adult £10, child (4-15yrs) £6, under 4’s free
Tickets available online: Get tickets here
If you love cooking with fire (or just eating the results), this one’s for you.
