Wow I remember Bodeans in Clapham High Street circa 2006. I remember it being mediocre as you say—a TGI Fridays in a different gown was my take at the time. I saw the title of your review land in my inbox and I thought, this can’t be the same place surely? Turns out it is and it isn’t. It just goes to show what a change in leadership can do to a place. Cheers!
I always have a soft spot for Bodeans on Poland Street. We visited for someone's birthday and some in our party were overly excited to see John Malkovich in an adjoining booth. The Tower Hill branch might be a better bet geographically these days, so might pop along for a fat-boy lunch.

Thanks for this. As a one-time South Carolina resident I miss a good barbecue so this has given me some options. And the history is so interesting!
So glad it resonated, Heather. Happy Eating!
