The Smoke Pit - Northampton

Really delicious food as always. Service was a little slower than expected bearing in mind there were only 4 tables in (it was 3pm) but was worth waiting for. I'm in a food coma now!

Starters were lovely. Sauces for mains were very sickly. Chairs aren't particularly comfy but the environment was beautifully clean. Drinks were good value for money.

3rd time I've eaten at the smoke pit still not had a bad meal,went with a group of friend all the meals were spot on,good atmosphere and friendly staff,good time had by all👍😀

Great food, great atmosphere, ok customer service. We ate early evening and I would highly recommend for a family as the children's menu is really good quality food.

Cracking food and lots of it with a quirky selection of drinks available too. Try the house platter without a starter unless your appetite is very large.

The service was good ... the venue is great .. didn't get the horseradish creme fresh that should have come with the ox cheeks .. the fryer was broken so nothing deep fried but then it wasn't so what we ordered and what arrived was interesting ... quite expensive but will try again another time

Lovely food, massive portions! Really nice atmosphere, and good customer service. Food served within a good time frame and staff checked on you regularly. Would recommend.

Amazing food! Best burger I've ever had!!! Staff were really friendly and was good service! Will definitely be going there again soon! Loved ever minute of it!!

great as always however craft beer selection is less diverse now so only gets 5/6. vary the selection to get top marks from me next time!

Great food and excellent service. Kids loved the milkshakes and the chalkboard near the toilets. My only criticism is the portion sizes lead to much food waste.

Brilliant experience as always, the food is only bettered by the staff who are excellent with adults and children alike! We will be back soon!

Terrible service, food not great when it did arrive. Second time we've been, it was the same last time too. Not going again, acoustics not great, don't go if you're hard of hearing!

Great food. Service was a bit slow and didn't ask if we needed drinks frequently enough. Sitting next to free refill machine was a little annoying. But again, great food.

The Food was ok, our order got cocked up so they gave us a starter, and was too full to eat the mains! Didn't get a dessert, :-(

Really good food, restaurant was bright and vibrant and left very happy. Would definitely be going back for more. Couldn't fault it at all. Thank you!

Great food/portion sizes and offered to take a doggy bag home was a nice touch. First waiter was a little less than friendly. Second waiter was superb.

Great food and atmosphere, service is the tiniest bit slower than I would like but overall a great restaurant and great value for money considering how much food you get

First time eating here and definitely won't be the last. Food service and general feel of the smoke pit was amazing. Highly recommended and it won't disappoint

Always great food, and quick service.Always mean to go for a burger, but haven't yet managed to tear myself away from the platters. Good beer selection too.

Absolutely brilliant and food was amazing. Service was really fast and done with a smile. I will definitely be back again very soon. Best restaurant in town!

As usual the food was excellent. Portions are in the large side and it's difficult to choose what to have. The Smoke Pit is one of our favourite restaurants.

3rd time there and it was amazing once again, only complaint is there was too much food, if that counts as a complaint. Will be going again and recommend to anyone

Food and atmosphere was amazing!! The choice was good and would defo recommend the nachos as they were the best I've ever had! Plenty of drinks choice too!

Amazing as always! Food was top notch! Awesome service. Easily my fav restaurant in Northampton. The slaw tonight was perfect loved it! And the ribs and wings were amazing!

First visit absolutely loved it two for one burgers Friday's 12-3pm volcano burgers great quality food fast service friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend cocktails two for one Friday as well.

Food was fantastic, service was good and the staff were polite although a little slow at times, we had to wait a good 10 minutes to attract attention to ask for the bill and in the end I had to get up and go to the counter to ask for it. Had the ribeye steak and the swordfish and both were incredible. Lastly the restaurant was rather loud, it was hard to hear each other talking.

As is always the case the smoke pit was bang on the money. Ribs and wings were lovely. The skin on fries amazing andddd Best chicken burger ever!!!!

Food as always is excellent. Great vide about the place too, enjoyable every time we go. Took some people for the first time and they loved it also

absolutely fantastic. excellent service and great atmosphere. excellent service with kids swell, my daughter was thoroughly entertained by the servers. will definitely be going back.

Really tasty food and drink, well prepared and exactly what we hoped it would be. We went for the smoked meats section for mains as for most people I imagine that's why you'd go there! Considering the amount and quality of what you get I considered it good value for money. The staff we also incredibly nice, helpful and attentive. I haven't ever been anywhere actually where the staff were as happy as they were here, it was lovely and we tipped accordingly! Highly recommend.

Took 3 friends to the Smoke pit last night for the first time and in their own words it was amazing! It was also good value for money at under £40 each including drinks (we all had a cocktail each as well) and 3 platters between 4 of us with a couple of side dishes was more than we could eat. Lovely food good and reasonably priced drinks top marks.

Once again a fabulous meal. The restaurant was very accommodating when I wanted to change the number of people coming - nothing was too much trouble. Food was, as always - amazing.

Great food great atmosphere. Tables were cleaned and attended to staff were as accommodating as could be and were always happy to answer any questions regarding dietary needs

Great food. Come with plenty of time as food takes a bit of time to come out. But it is always worth the wait! Highly recommend

Fantastic food and service, we could not fault the smoke pit in any way and we will definitely be visiting again as soon as possible!

There were generous portions, and the hangar steak in particular was very good. Two of our party found the pulled pork dressing a little sweet, but we enjoyed our meal. We were a party of four. We did not stay for coffee as the music in the restaurant is very loud, and we couldn't hear ourselves talk. The general noise was an issues, and is likely to limit any decision to return, however nice the food.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in a unique setting . Fantastic food (& lots of it!) at a reasonable price. Great for a family treat or out with friends

Great food and atmosphere! Only reason not given a 6 was because of wait for food. The menu does warn you of a 45 minute wait at busy time, but think it was quite a bit more than this between starter and main. Will definitley go again though!

The food was nice, slightly fatty in places but overall good and a decent sized portion. The service was a little slow though. Ps I have not received my 2 x 250 points for inviting 2 people to separate tables I booked

Absolutely loved it! Amazing food, big portions, lovely atmosphere. We will definitely come back! I can recommend it to anyone who loves barbecue and dining out

Great atmosphere was very busy so had to wait over 40 minutes for food to turn up. Food was cooked really well the ribs were amazing!

Very good recommend the sharing platters and draught ales. The restaurant has a very cook decor and suits couples and larger groups. Highly recommend it.

This is our second visit now. The food is amazing and very generous portions. Great environment, fast service and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit 😀

Fantastic food! Fantastic service. Family really enjoyed it and was a great day out! Thank god for a doggy bag x😁 Will definitely go again with the family!

We had quite a wait (an hour) but the food was really worth the wait so they were instantly forgiven! Generous portions but leftovers come home with us. Will def go again.

Great experience as always when we go to the Smoke Pit. Staff are friendly and attentive, and more importantly the food is of great quality.

More meat than you can shake a stick at! Great selection, great beers and great staff ... we'll be back very soon without a doubt!

The Smoke Pit was really good, the atmosphere was great, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely. We did go at a very busy time, so the wait was a bit longer than usual, but that's understandable. Well worth the visit :D

Food was lovely and staff were very nice. Would definitely recommend booking a table as it was busy. The place has a good atmosphere. Will be back again!

smashing went for 2nd year anniversary and had no issues at all, we would especially recommend the nachos, however after eating them we did struggle to eat the mains!!
