The Smoke Pit - Northampton

very querky and beautiful food :) helpful with everything :) very much recomended. you do pay for what you get. not for if you want a quick meal you wait for the quality

We visited for the first time after wanting to come here for over a year! Can totally see why it's hard to get a booking here, the atmosphere was amazing, as was the food. There were so many options for drinks too! Just one thing which isn't even a big issue but if you are going to do martinis please serve them in a clean glass, not plastic, it just makes it feel cheap. We cannot wait to come back and we will hopefully bring friends with us!

Great food, the brisket was superb, along with the sweet potato fries. Good selection of beers on tap and bottled. Staff were also great, and attentive.

I have been to the smoke pit a few times and this time opted for something off the specials, i has the Moroccan Chicken although the flavors were beautiful the chicken was extremely over cooked, i didn't complain on the night as the staff has been fantastic and we had enjoyed our night, I had the Halloumi to start which was beautiful- apart from the small matter of the chicken we had a very enjoyable night celebrating my sons 18th

Had a lovely experience there, definitely going back! It's a tad expensive but worth the money. Massive portions too so you won't be going hungry any time soon!

Excellent food, plenty of it and very filling. Good service all staff were very pleasant. Nice setting although did get a bit warm inside. Children loved the food too. Definitely recommend a visit.

The food here is delicious, I had the pulled pork and there was so much on the plate I couldn't eat it all. Value for money!

My family had a great meal and time at the smoke pit the staff are friendly and helpful this is my 3rd visit and my two boy can't wait to go back again

Great food, friendly and observant staff - nice choice of beers. Every time we have been it's been great, and the food of the same high standard! All good!

The food is amazing! I had beef rib and bone marrow mash and it was the tastiest meal iv had in ages. I loved the everything about my meal :) Only negative points were seeing other people who ordered after us get their food first and sitting in "couples corner" it would be better if couples were spread around the resturant instead of all together.

Excellent food and atmosphere, staff were brilliant. Would def recommend. Menu is full of flavour and choice, drinks menu is the same. Had a very enjoyable evening

we had a lovely meal at the smoke pit. The food was really good and the atmosphere was buzzing! The staff were super friendly too which is an added bonus ☺️

Great food, lovely service, nice atmosphere. My husband and I enjoyed a nice relaxed evening, the food was scrummy, extensive drinks menu too. Overall a great evening

Food, service, presentation and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Great choice of food and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves the BBQ grill!

The staff were very friendly, there was great atmosphere, lots of quirky bits around the restaurant and most importantly amazing food with HUGE portions, you won't go home hungry!

Smoke out had a great atmosphere. Excellent food as always, a must for any meat lover. The staff are friendly and very attentive. great service once again

Fantastic night for my sons birthday, food fantastic, staff great and loved the interior of the restaurant and quirky little extra that make the restaurant unique. Highly recommed

Very disappointing experience. We gad been once before and had enjoyed the food so decided to go back again. This tie, the meat was flavourless, the chicken very dry and the fries that should have had skins in appeared to be basic thin supermarket bought chips. We were given 20% discount off the bill, but we won't be returning in a hurry.

Great food and the service was amazing. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly, even grabbing us a pack of pens to keep the little ones entertained. It's the details that matter!

Amazing food, really quick service. We got there 25 minutes before our reservation and were seated straight away. The only downside was the music was a little too loud so people were shouting over it. The 2 person tables are also quite long so not great if you're looking for something intimate, like we were. Overall a great experience with amazing quality of food and service.

Not such a good experience for allergy safe foods as last time, but we all left full up and would visit again. Daughter and friends had s great time

The Smoke Pit has been several things over the past years, and still the same inside, just different food. First time at your establishment and will probably be the last. I chose the meat platter for one not a great choice . My friends were not impressed either. Over priced for what I ate in the end. Novel idea with the drinks machine.

Great food with a wide selection, great atmosphere and good staff service. All four of us enjoyed the meal and would definitely go back again.

the meal and service was brilliant, was our first time there but will certainly be going back again .you got plenty for your money it was all cooked to perfection.

Really fantastic. All the meat dishes (pulled pork and St Louis ribs in particular) are delicious; I also indulged in a peanut butter milkshake and all I can say is: heaven!

The best meal I have had for quite some time (I have had some good ones). The paintings by the barman are good as well, I might buy one.

I will say the hostess was on the ball with allergies. It was busy so a bit of a wait but food was good and certainly meaty!!

A really welcoming and friendly place with great staff. The authentic Texan roadhouse 'shabby chic' theme fits well with the mish mash of wooden tables and chairs scattered around the huge main glass roofed dining area. The food was fantastic, with authentic tasting and huge tasty portions of smoked and barbecued meats. Being unable to eat it all, we left with a massive doggy bag which will probably last a few days... Excellent.

This was our first time at the smoke pit, it was very busy when we arrived so just had to wait five minutes for our table. The service and food was very good and would definitely return and recommend.

Good food, and at a reasonable price. Probably best enjoyed as a group of mates, rather than as a romantic meal for two. Generous portions and tasty side dishes.

It was ok , nothing special service wasn't great and the guy delivering food was awful. Glad we bought the refillable soft drinks which were self service otherwise you die of thirst!

Quality food and beverages, left feeling very full and satisfied! Will definitely be going back, best pulled pork I've had the pleasure of putting in my mouth!

Great atmosphere and music . portions a little oversized for me but yummy . platters are massive but good value for money if you can eat that much.

Service and food fabulous ,portions are large so be prepared to leave some .A party of eight and each and everyone enjoyed it ,would certainly book again as there is plenty on the menu to return and try .

Food was ok but the feel of the place was a bit naff sat in a large open room but squashed in on small tables next to other people and Food was served on camping style metal plates and cups?

We waited ages to be greeted and taken to a table. They didn't ask for any details regarding the reservation we had. Once we were seated we were left for at least 15 minutes before anybody came to ask if we'd like a drink. There were only 4 or 5 tables of people so they weren't that busy. I got the impression that they didn't care. The steak was good but not cooked as requested. So all in all not a great experience and don't think we'll go again.

Amazing food and atmosphere, could have been a few more staff as we spent a fair bit of time waiting to ask for desserts, drinks.

the smoke pit, well it was our first time visiting this restaurant and we were not disappointed the staff were great and helped us with our order and we were given the feeling that they knew a lot about the way the food was prepared and we were right the food was fantastic we will be going back very soon so if you get a chance to go book as soon as possible.

Amazing food and very good service. Had a birthday meal there and they were very helpful wth the arrangements of the table decorations and birthday cake. Overall it was lovely.

Great food, great atmosphere and a great menu. Fab range of interesting drinks to try. All reasonably priced too. Easy to book online. Highly recommended.

Food was ok, bar my wife having ribs that were unfortunately dry, which ruined the experience for me on the evening. I would also say that whilst it is a unique experience, I felt it was pricy for what you received. To be fair the server reimbursed my wife's meal so not all bad as it helped reduce that average price per head for the food and drink from £27 down to £23 each.

The 4 of us had a great night are table was ready for us on arrival and all the staff were very hard working and very friendly. The meal we had was just top class great food all four of us enjoyed the evening. We are planning a large group of friends for are next vist Smoke Pit you have been warned lol

Food was delicious. There was a bit of a long wait for our main but it was very busy and they gave us complimentary drinks to apologise.

Nice atmosphere, got served pretty quickly, food was lovely so recommend the pulled brisket which came with a selection of three shredded/chopped veg. Also there is a refillable drinks machine. Good choice for meat lovers

Great food and good cocktails - our only issue was it is a very noisy restaurant, felt like we were shouting across the table to each other just to be heard.

The food was excellent and service very good. We booked for 5pm on a Sunday which was nice as not too busy. We will visit again.

Great food with a different and unique atmosphere, it was a tad overpriced but I'd definitely go again. Wish we had saved more room for desert!

Service friendly, food very good, I had the half rack of ribs, with sweet potatoe fries and Coleslaw,rather a lot of background noise made conversation difficult.

Great food and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again 😄. However word of warning the portions are massive so don't get carried away ordering or you won't eat it all!

Overall a good dinning experience , food order was taken straight away ...However the food took 35 minutes to arrive and the restaurant was not that busy so alittle disapointed on that front ..The quality of the food when it arrived was excellent .
