Bess BBQ

Bess BBQ has carved out a loyal following in Saint Leonards-on-sea with its no-nonsense approach to Turkish cooking. Holding a strong Food Hygiene Rating, this grill house focuses on what matters — proper chargrilled meats and bold, smoky flavours. Locals keep coming back for the kind of honest, flame-kissed cooking that turns a simple meal into something memorable.

Expect generous plates of tender lamb shish, juicy chicken şiş, and perfectly charred köfte, all cooked over open flames until they hit that sweet spot between smoky and succulent. The rice is fluffy, the salads are fresh, and the bread arrives warm from the grill. It's the kind of spot where you order extra garlic sauce without thinking twice. Bess BBQ delivers across Saint Leonards-on-sea, making it dead easy to get that charcoal fix without leaving the sofa.
