WELCOME TO SMOKEHOUSE
THE HOME OF THE MODERN BBQ

At Smokehouse, heat’n’meat is at the heart of our passion for Modern BBQ. With “Bubba” our specially imported smoker from the U.S. we can create the tastiest, finger-lickin' smoked meats on this side of the pond. Here’s the rub! Before cooking we massage our meat with our own secret blend of herbs and spices to give it the unique flavour only found at Smokehouse. The Wood. For a great BBQ you’re gonna need wood! We prefer Hickory and Cherry to give it a touch of sweetness.

    First visit with four friends and we were all really impressed with the service, food and friendly staff. The menu gives plenty of choice that should cater for everyone. Needles to say we will be coming back soon. 👏👏

    Booked this table for my husbands birthday meal, food was beautiful and full of flavour, but wasn’t very busy in there but music loud, downside to not getting 5 stars all round was that we waited an hour and 5 minutes for our food to arrive and we chased it, lovely food but too long to wait for a meal.

    When we arrived there were only 3 other tables in the restaurant & 1 member of staff. It took 15 minutes to get served because there was only 1 person working. A second member of staff started about 30 minutes after we arrived. The staff were lovely. The food was pretty average. I had brisket and it was so dry. I tried to top it with BBQ sauce but it was still too dry so I didn't eat it. I did advise the waiter who took it off the bill (without us even having to ask) He agreed that it looked dry. Ordered the kids burger for my son & it was pink in the middle, so he ate around that. My wife had the halloumi burger and she said it was very nice, but nothing special. The staff definitely helped this, but with the low turnover of diners it will be hard to get BBQ meat right
