Smokehouse

Our dining experience at Smokehouse was absolutely perfect, from start to finish! A warm, friendly welcome as we walked in the door through to being seated on a lovely table, with candle, and being walked through the wine list. We decided on the Pork belly and Duck dishes with Rosemary Bread to start and, wow, what can we say, but the food was incredible, the quality of meats and plating was top top standard. Throughout our meal, the staff were attentive and kind with the manager even having a wonderful chat with us at the end of our meal, which was great value for money. We felt very welcome and will certainly back soon!

Enjoyed a birthday dinner here - got one of the feasting menus and it was fantastic. Never seen that much meat in my life !! The cashew starter was incredible. Staff were really friendly and let us take our own cake. Plenty of great wines on offer. Will be back

TLDR; excellent food with good service and cute outdoor space. The feast menu is a lot of food so make sure you’re hungry if going for that. Otherwise go for individual dishes to keep things affordable.

We came here as a group of 10 and had the Christmas Feast which consisted with generous portions of delicious. There were too many dishes to describe here but the highlight for me must have been the poached egg with king oyster mushroom salad that was served as a starter. The main dishes were well executed too.

The inside felt nice and cosy with a good romantic vibe. As a big group we opted for the outdoor space which was equally atmospheric. The service was also good and attentive.

Only slight downside of eating outside is that the restaurant is right by a fairly busy road. Although it is covered and fenced off, the car noises were still noticeable. It is also a tad on the expensive side. The bill came to ~£70 per person and we didn’t drink a lot. We were, however, very full by the end so perhaps not going for the Christmas feast menu would be a better choice.

Great drink options, but was let down by the pricey and uninteresting food. Sadly the small dishes was forgettable and one main dish was missing 1 of 3 of the named ingredients. Too much butter with the bread and the beef dripping added an undesirable taste and texture. Cashew ricotta was however great.
Staff were attentive, following an unprepared welcome. The atmosphere was pleasant. Sadly not recommended.

Great venue, lovely and clean inside. Tables well spread out. Varied menu with something for everyone. Extremely large portions! Featherblade and cod both pictured were delicious. Chips lovely and crunchy! I wish I'd had room for dessert!

Also top marks for offering chilled red wine :-)

Service was faultless and staff were lovely.

Went for Sunday Roast. The actual restaurant is very nice and has a very nice outdoor seating area. The Roast was reasonably priced, however a bit disappointed with the quantity. Would go back to try out the rest of the menu!

Disappointing serving size of both the bread (small slices, our friends who arrived later got twice the size) and the beef. Very, very thin cut and barely any gravy. Good beer selection, friendly staff.

If you like pig and butcher, forget about smokehouse unfortunately :( we’re frequent visitors and huge fans of smokehouses sister restaurant and was extremely disappointed with our experience there. The pics will do itself justice….they share the same wine menu so the wine was still amazing :)
