A huge thank you to Visit Eastleigh, Eastleigh BID for such an amazing award! 🏆🔥

From all of us here at Black Oak BBQ , we genuinely can’t thank you enough for dropping this off to us. We’re so sorry we couldn’t make it to the ceremony that evening — from what we’ve seen, it looked like an amazing night! Hopefully we can be there next time. 🤞

The whole team would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to recognise what we’re doing. It means more than you know, and it makes all those long hours behind the smoker, the early starts and the hard work so worthwhile.

We’ll be proudly hanging this up for everyone to see! ❤️

And who knows… we’ll be aiming for the top next time! 😉🔥

Thank you once again for the support. We’re incredibly proud to be part of the Eastleigh community.
