I booked for 29 people on 25th November for my partner?s 30th Birthday. I am aware that a large group like this can be tricky to deal with for a small venue but I can?t fault how well organized it was. Everybody was greeted and taken to their tables as they arrived. Food was really nice and we all enjoyed every single bit of it. However, when the bills were made they were really confusing. There was one bill per table as we agreed but the numbers did not add up as everybody seemed to be paying more than they should have. Deposit was £30 per person which we happily paid, but for our surprise this £30 were only taken off from the food. People whose food did not cost a total of £30 and had some credit left still had to cover the full amount for their drinks. If I would have been informed that the minimum spent of £30 was for FOOD ONLY I would have never agreed to it, as I can?t expect everyone to spend £30 in only starter and main (there were no desserts because I was bringing my own cake). For example, my partner ordered wings and ribeye with ribs, this was making his food cost £46, plus 2 cocktails which made the total of his bill £65. £65 minus £30 already paid stands for £35, but somehow he ended up paying £50. (??????) Many of the guests payed extra (including 10% service charge) and balance was still due on the bills. Also, the bill stated ?food?. I have never before seen a bill that does not show every single thing ordered and how much it costs. Surely it was much easier to show the total bill so people could work it out for themselves. If I would have been informed that my guests had to spend £30 min in only food and their deposits would not be discounted also for their drinks I would have never agreed to it as this made me feel like I have been scammed and lied to. My partner?s 30th Birthday was incredibly important to me, so having his family and group of friends left feeling ripped off has left a very very bitter taste on my mouth. As a big group we brought enough money to the place and I even happily payed £7 to bring my own cake which I never got to try as I was too busy dealing with all this confusing situation. People ended up paying whatever they were asked to pay because did not want to start an argument and create drama in such an important day. They just wanted to get it over with and go. But definitely most of them ended up paying more than they should have payed. We could say the venue had a great tip from us. (Merry Christmas?) As an ex manager myself I have dealt with large groups like this before and I have never seen a system such like this! I still can?t wrap my head around it. As I stated earlier, this is a real shame because the food was really amazing and organization of tables was great. Unfortunately not a single one of us is ever coming back. Marta

Been to many Smoke Houses and this is quite honestly one of the best we've ever been to. The food was outstanding, the service was spot on and being a small place, the atmosphere was perfect.We'll be back!!

Thank you very much for such great hospitality and food. We were running quite late due to traffic. They were extremely understanding and accommodating. The food was amazing great servings compared to other places I have been. The brisket was like butter, the burgers were perfect all in all great experience and we will 100% be back soon for the ribs. Thank you again much appreciated

Super busy for a Wednesday night, only one Server and one chef. Great food and service nonetheless. We had the smoked trilogy sharer. Thanks!!

Visited for the first time today after pre-booking as advised online. Small, quaint little restaurant, slightly crammed but at the same time, a cosy atmosphere. Food was excellent and served quickly, no draught alcohol, so bottles and cans of beer. Menu not too large but the food was excellent, the type you?d expect at a smoke house. Brisket portion could have been larger for £19, otherwise enjoyed and would recommend.Vegetarian options: Halloumi

Stunning! We are huge lovers of smoked meat. This exceeded our expectations. Jaz and her staff were super friendly and attentive! The food was out of this world and the drinks was delicious. They accommodated my gluten intolerance. And super patient waiting for us to finish our drinks with a friendly chat!

Great food, nice place, and really friendly staff/owner. Came here to jointly celebrate a Birthday & Wedding Anniversary and was not disappointed. Sharing platter for two was huge and meat & sides were amazing. Definitely returning next time we are in town.

Don?t know if I visited on an off day, but what a let down. After reading the reviews here I booked a table and quickly ordered a three meat platter. The food arrived quickly, but my beer took ages to arrive. The wings were ok?if a little cooler than you would expect, the pulled pork and brisket were both dry and not all that tasty either ( had to drown it in bbq sauce). Chips were distinctly average and coleslaw very cheap tasting. Honestly I?ve had better bbq food from Aldi and cooking it myself in the oven.

Craving for grills. Found this place by chance. Luckily I went early as it was fully booked. Have to leave before 7.15pm as they have the next guest. Ordered the ribs. Unfortunately they do not do half a rack. Nice smoky grill. Meat a bit dry, but it is good.. well marinated.

Really awesome independent restaurant in a wonderful area. Service is fantastic, the portion sizes are generous and the food is very good. Particularly loved the brisket.
