Bovine and Swine

The kitchen resident is barbecue legends Bovine and Swine. They showcase their authentic southern style barbecue and their custom made Manhorne smoker at the brewery.

“Hillbilly Wes” is Australia’s original pit boss.  He launched Bovine and Swine Barbecue in Sydney, opening to a meat hungry city with lines stretching out the door for the best barbecue in town.  Within the first year was awarded a Good Food AU award. Since opening, Wes has built a dedicated professional team with the ethos of ensuring that the Barbecue experience is the best available.

Where it all Began Real Southern Barbecue

Low and slow is how they like it in Texas and that’s how Bovine & Swine make it. Living and breathing classic barbecue. Cooking starts at 5 AM every day for that perfect bark, melt in your mouth texture and smokey taste. For Wes, it all started in Lockhart, Texas – the Barbecue Capital of America, where he was mesmerised by the sights and tastes of real Barbecue. Whilst travelling he worked with some of the best Barbecue restaurants in Austin.  Wes has brought his passion and that authentic Central Texas taste to Australia. He travels with the team from Queensland to South Australia and now to Red Hill.
