Red's True Barbecue restaurant moves into Nottingham16th December 2014

Red's True Barbecue restaurant has opened a new restaurant in Nottingham's city centre in a deal arranged by property consultancy FHP.

The premises in Queen Street will be transformed by Red's through a £1.1 million makover, turning it into a unique restaurant with 160 covers.

Founders Scott Munro and James Douglas have already opened two other branches - one in Leeds and the other in Manchester.

Scott Munro said: "The gospel of true barbecue continues to convert UK food lovers. In under two years, and with just two restaurants, the Red's experience has captured the imagination of almost 500,000 believers, introducing them to US-style low-and-slow smokehouse cooking. We are now spreading the word in Nottingham."

Alan Pearson of FHP Property Consultants said: “The deal is a coup not just for Nottingham but for FHP. Reds are an iconic brand with a great reputation. For Nottingham to be their third opening says a lot about the city.”
