The Old School BBQ Ranch opened 2018 on a new permanent site and is the UK's first outdoor BBQ streetfood eatery, complete with bar and live country music.

In 2016 the Old School BBQ was born, using a freshly imported 1982 Bluebird International American school bus from Arizona as a mobile kitchen.

The bus was converted from a traditional seated bus to a fully functional kitchen, with smokers and griddles to cook low and slow BBQ food. The OSB journey had begun, trading from humble beginnings on a local pub car park in Failsworth.

Our little yellow bus soon became a familiar landmark and we became more and more popular with lunch goers who wanted freshly prepared, appetising food served with a smile. Soon demand meant that we would be more often than not greeting our customers with a "sold out" sign, so it was time to expand.

So here we are, with a covered seated area serving our firm favourites, complemented with a fully licenced bar and WC facilities... did we mention the stage? That's right, we also provide live music from various acts from near and far - we are sure you will find our eatery to be like no other!

We do have a roof but are technically an outdoor place, so PLEASE WRAP UP WARM! Also we advise against wearing high heels as our floor contains loose stone.

If you need help with disabled access please call in advance and we will assist!
