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

Excellent food, atmosphere, service and drinks. Not the cheapest of places but the quality is reflective of the cost. We really enjoyed our meal here and will definitely be coming back again.

This place is American approved! The shakes are a meal in and of themselves so leave some room. We are looking forward to trying the rest of the menu on our next visit :)

We were advised to book and we could see why. The restaurant was fully booked by the time we left and people were waiting in the bar which shows how popular this place is. Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend

The smoke pit was a lovely place, food was lovely but when returning home, myself and my friend was very unwell and was up most the night with sickness and upset stomach. Which was a shame as it has now put us off returning.

I was expecting really tasty BBQ food but what was provided was a bit bland to be honest. There was a lot of it but not interesting enough to finish

After having mixed reviews from friends I was pleasantly surprised and how good the food was. Perhaps a touch on the expensive side for "normal" diners but given the amount of preparation that goes into the meats I feel it's justified. Good experience

The food was amazing as usual, unfortunately, the service was slow. This was probably due to it being Saturday. But overall, this didn't change our opinion of how much we love this place

Been here a few times now. Really enjoy it. However tonight, my mother's food was about 10 minutes after all of ours and with hardly any cous cous as advertised. Apart from that, good atmosphere.
