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.

    Fantastic food, thoroughly enjoyed it for an evening out with my son. Busy Saturday evening leading up to Xmas party time so appreciate it’s harder, but service not the best.

    We went a couple of months ago, and food was lovely, and good portion sizes. This time, the food wasn't as good, and portion sizes a lot smaller. There was a service charge on our bill of 10%… there was 3 tables in the restaurant, yet we didn’t get a “how is everything” until we’d practically finished our food, and we had to go get our own bill, so not sure what the extra £17 we paid was for. Shame as we had booked for a special occasion, which I let them know at time of booking, but felt more like they wanted to close up and go home, despite it being a Sunday teatime.
