Ambiance and food was perfect for a good casual meal out. Unfortunately for her my partner became unwell during the evening but the great thing was I got to have the whole platter for 2! Will be going back now she is well again.

The food and service was very good. The only slight issue was the position of the table we were given. We were near the exit and in certain seats a breeze came through every time the main door opened. We moved to another table but it wasn’t well lit and was the walk way to the toilet. So lots of people traffic. Luckily the food made up for it.

Great place! Lovely atmosphere, great service, loads of delicious meat & other stuff, yummy Pumpkin Ale and Nobbie's IPA! We're keep coming back again and again. Highly recommended. Although, portions are huge so will recommend to share single platter between two. Did that last night and still ended up with doggy bag to take home! Bit pricy but worth every penny! :)

Excellent portion sizes but the chilli burger was tasteless, and the chicken thighs on the smoke pit platter just tasted of smoke. Sweet potato chips were amazing! Will definitely be back to try something different.

Huge portions. Loaded nachos were yummy and ribs were great! Service was friendly and they even ask if you want a doggie bag to take home. We needed this as there was plenty left! Very nice we will be back especially as there is a vegan dish and good children’s menu!

Main food was amazing and cocktails were delicious! Toffee sundae could be improved, was very difficult to actually get the ice cream further down because of the toffee.

Great expectations and great disappointment. I heard a lot about Smoke Pit. Great hamburgers and food in general. Definitely not worth it's price. However nice peanut butter shake and really good design. Nice atmosphere but in case of restaurant it is not the most important.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the smoke pit. The service was faultless and every memeber of staff was smiling, cheerful and friendly. The food was impeccable and even fussy my 4 year old daughter cleaned her plate. I would definitely recommend the salted caramel and pretzel sundae to anyone, it is by far the best dessert I have ever had!

Always great food and great service! Wonderful selection of food, amazing quality, portions are perfect. Couldn't say no to a dessert. Only thing to improve would be waiting time. Food took 45 mins even though we were only people in restaurant. Guess it just means it's cooked really fresh
