Nestled in the Canal Wharf on the road leading out of Wolverhampton towards Wednesfield, Rodeos has spent the last 12 months building a reputation as a family-friendly restaurant and venue, providing high quality barbecue food and nights of entertainment.
Since it opened in 2021, the restaurant has welcomed guests in to enjoy traditional barbecued food such as rump steak, chicken wings and pork ribs, as well as take a ride on the Rodeos mechanical bull.
It has continued to bring in families and fans of Texas BBQ over 2023, as well as begin a tradition of live music at least twice a week from local artists and imports from the United States.
Now, after a refurbishment which has seen new stalls and a balcony area created, the restaurant is now equipped to welcome more than 100 people at booths and tables spread around the room, as well as a new selfie area and the now-continual presence inside the main arena of the mechanical bull.
Owner Simon Parton said the beginning of 2023 had been difficult, but a growing reputation as a family-friendly restaurant and music venue had helped boost trade.
He said: "January is always a tough month and last January was possibly the hardest we've had, even when we were going through Covid times.
"However, we found that by putting a lot of time and effort into our social media, which we use instead of advertising, we started to get a lot of engagement.
