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.

    Food was tasty, however service was very slow. We waited over an hour from when we arrived for our food to be brought out. In this time, we were asked multiple times if we wanted any extra drinks, which was cheeky considering that the food took so long to arrive (they were not complimentary drinks)! It was a Saturday evening, however the restaurant was half full, so we expected quicker service. This is our second time visiting and had a similar experience before.

    Food took ages to come and staff never asked us if we wanted another drink we had to go to the bar ourselves. My husband said his burger was nice my mac and cheese was so greasy I had to send it back and the rest of my tapas items were swimming in grease. The cocktails were the best part of my visit. Staff weren’t attentive and you couldn’t get their attention to ask for anything at all. Won’t be recommending or going back.

    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. 👏👏
