DB BBQ GROUP

🙏🏼❤️PLEASE READ TO THE END❤️🙏🏼

As previously announced, we’ve made the difficult decision to close DB BBQ Group.

This journey has been full of highs, challenges, and above all, the support of an amazing community. The feedback on our food has always been incredible, but unfortunately, the order volume and rising costs meant the business simply wasn’t sustainable long term.

We want to thank every single customer, friend, and family member who supported us along the way. Your loyalty, encouragement, and kind words have meant everything.

As we close this chapter, we’d love for you to continue supporting us by following and visiting our other venture, LCS Burgers, where the passion for great food still burns strong. You can find us here: 👉 LCS Burgers page https://www.facebook.com/share/1752p4J5Lm/

BBQ is still out passion, so please make sure to stay connected with us over at LCS.

And one last thing — when you’re choosing your next meal or treat, please consider supporting your local independent businesses over the big chains and faceless dark kitchens. Every order really does make a difference.

From all of us at DB BBQ Group — thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the closure of DB BBQ Group kitchen inside the Castlemayne.

This has been an incredibly tough decision to make, and one that comes with a heavy heart. From day one, our mission was to bring authentic American BBQ to Basildon, and to share our passion for great food, community spirit, and unforgettable flavours.

We want to take this moment to thank every single customer who supported us, whether you popped in for wings, ordered a platter, shared a post, or simply cheered us on. Your loyalty and love meant the world, and without you we wouldn’t have made it this far.

To our family, friends, and the amazing people we’ve worked alongside, your belief and backing have been everything.

While this chapter is closing, the memories and connections we’ve built will always remain. DB BBQ Group has been more than just food, it’s been about people, pride, and community.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

🔥 The Castlemayne Pub – the beating heart of Lee Chapel South 🔥

This ain’t just a pub… it’s the hub. The spot where locals unwind, where mates turn into family, and where the community actually comes alive. 🍻

Inside you’ll find:
🍖 DB BBQ GROUP – low & slow smoked meats, Texas-style BBQ, ribs bigger than your arm, smoked meat that melts, and sides that slap. Proper American smokehouse vibes right here in Basildon.
🍔 LCS Burgers formerly DB Shack – no nonsense, fat-stacked, budget-friendly burgers that have already taken Lee Chapel South by storm. Big patties, bacon jam, halloumi stacks – the works.

🎶 Every weekend the place is rocking with live music.
🎉 Got something to celebrate? The function hall is here for weddings, wakes, meetings, or any excuse to get people together.
❤️ And don’t forget – Castlemayne puts back into the community with events raising money for local charities… like the upcoming Exposé LIVE AID gig, where funds will be donated to St. Luke’s Hospice 🙌

🔥 Yesterday we pulled off something special…
Two of Basildon’s biggest American BBQ specialists teamed up for a one-off collab menu: DB BBQ GROUP + Grill & Bark . The smoke was heavy, the meat was unreal, and the vibes were next level.

🎤 To top it all off, the incredible Amanda Rogers lit up the patio LIVE with her voice.

This is what Lee Chapel South is all about – food, music, community, good vibes.

📍 Castlemayne – your local, your people, your spot.
