A Bristol barbeque street food business has been named the South West finalist of Uber Eats' Restaurant of the Year Awards 2025.
Low and Slow was founded by husband-and-wife team Jack and Lyndsey as a pop-up outside their local butchers on Gloucester Road in 2016, and now has two sites in the city - in St Nicholas Market and on Whiteladies Road.
As a finalist, Low and Slow will receive £5,000 and a tailored support package from Uber Eats that is designed to help scale the business and reach new customers.

The popular eatery beat off competition from more than 130 restaurants to be selected as a regional finalist and will now compete for the coveted title of Restaurant of the Year and a £100,000 prize.
Matthew Price, general manager of Uber Eats º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, Ireland and Northern Europe, said: "Independent restaurants are the beating heart of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ and Ireland’s food scene.
"Whether it’s your local burger joint, a climate-conscious vegan cafe, or a TikTok-famous pop-up, Uber Eats is proud to support the businesses that bring flavour, jobs, and culture to our communities.
"The Restaurant of the Year Awards are about more than a prize. They’re about championing those who are reshaping hospitality from the ground up and helping them accelerate their growth.”
Later this year, finalists will gather in London for a two-day celebration of their work, including a full judging day with industry experts such as Jamaican-British businessman and celebrity chef Levi Roots; viral food content creator Eating with Tod; Irish chef Clodagh McKenna; and last year's Restaurant of the Year winner, Natty Crutchfield.
It is understood the 12 regional champions are being recognised for their role in contributing to thriving high streets, serving communities and inspiring culinary trends.
