The Smoke Pit - Northampton

Myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our first smoke pit visit ,will definatly return and will recommend to friends,excellent 10 out of 10,excellent service.charming waitresses.

Amazing food as always and spectacular service by our waitress. She couldn't have been more helpful. It was extremely busy and quite hard to hear each other but that's a small price to pay for such amazing food!

We Visited here in March The food was very good & the service was excellent...price is not to bad either I would defo recommend x

Love The Smoke Pit. Great food and excellent service. A very popular place for our work colleagues to meet. Great music too and a very chilled atmosphere. Will keep going back.

The food is really great and they have an amazing cocktail menu. The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is great. Would highly recommend visiting the smoke pit.

Visited on Saturday evening. Very good service and food, considering how busy it was, we Will be returning, highly recommend, we have never had a bad experience here.

Very nice food, and good portion sizes. Very friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. Don't be put off by the outside, it's very open and airy inside. Prices are a little high, but worth it for a special occasion.

Patient staff when half our party was 30 mins late, the food was imaginative and tasted fantastic, and the drinks menu contained an amusing set of cocktailes, the coronarita went down rather well.

Waited 50mins for food ordered the Piri Piri chicken platter and wasn't till after I realised I had no pulled pork or pickled pineapple !??

Excellent food and plenty of it. Very tasty, great meat cooked well. Would definitely use again. Local beers and good value. Eclectic decoration in old bakery

The booking was easy, the staff were very helpful and curtious and the food was amazing , good size portions. The fizzy drinks machine was great, such a selection and the walls in the toilets were very funny. Great place to eat

Fantastic restaurant with attentive service great food and a fabulous atmosphere. We went here as a family and had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back again.

I booked a table for five fifteen year old boys celebrating a birthday. I trusted them to behave responsibly, and trusted The Smoke Pit to look after them appropriately. And both parties did! The boys had a great time. Thank you Smoke Pit.

Great food and drinks. Good size portions. Very loud inside, you'll find yourself shouting across the table and forgot my drink order twice but it arrived eventually. Friendly service. Would recommend.

Amazing food. Was a Monday night ribs n chicken night. Unlimited but too much to consider a 2nd plate

Lovely food. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Perfect for carnivores, especially! We will be going back. Tucked away in Northampton, but busy even on a Sunday evening.

Incredible food - although we ended up bringing more home than we ate there! Such amazing value for money would highly recommend Smoke Pit to anyone I know. Thanks

Excellent evening, food was outstanding. As was the service, great choice on the menu for both food and drinks. Will def be back for more in the future

Lovely food. Huge portions. Good service. Kids said the drinks machine was amazing. Loved the seeet potato fries. Puddings looked good but unfortunately couldn't fit one in!

Food was lovely staff very helpfull i love this place my 4th time there now will be returning very soon the lunch time menu is great 2 and alot cheaper

Delicious food with massive portions! Friendly and quick service. Great vibe

The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is plentiful and delicious. I cannot comment on the desserts as I was too full to even try them but I will the next time I go and there will be a next time definitely. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Fantastic food and service, will definitely go again once my stomach has stopped bloating..great value for money, great location and selection of beers and food

A nice well lit airy place to eat so you don't feel hot and sticky while eating their gorgeous food, good value for money. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Well recommend.

Delicious slow cooked barbecue style food served in comfortable surroundings accompanied by a comprehensive and quirky drinks menu. A refreshing, imaginative and welcome addition to Northamptonshire's food scene.

Good food and good service, you won't leave hungry Second time we have been, first time as a party of 10 and second time as a couple, on both occasions we left impressed

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, was totally stuffed. Very happy customer. Good prices for the quantity you get. Good music and decor, more interesting than the usual.

Tasty steaks and great service as always. Prices are always reasonable with lovely helpful staff and inventive specials! Their marmite butter is to die for!!!

Amazing place! Would recommend them over and over again! Brilliant food, great choice and the staff are wonderful! If your stuck for anywhere I would say go here!

First time at smoke pit the service was good thought the tables was to close together didn't have privacy as tables next to us could hear our conversation and vice versa.we had the mixed platter for 2 didn't like it at all we took most of it home it all tasted really salty very disappointed

Excellent BBQ food with an amazing smokey flavour. Completely unique to the area and great fun for a special occasion. Very good service, not cheap but still good value.

Well worth a visit to The Smoke Pit, Northampton if you are a meat fan. I can recommend the pulled pork which comes in a bbq sauce and melts in the mouth. I added beer batter onion rings, sweet potato fries and a dessert and was not disappointed. Service was friendly and prompt, although some tables are quite close together. Nice relaxing feel, it really is about the great food. Portions are generous, but never fear as staff are happy to package any leftovers for you to take home. I will definitely be visiting again to try some else on the menu. Hope you enjoy the food as much as we did.

Booking process was fine and we immediately got our table on arrival. Was given our menus and drink order taken. Food was ordered quickly and food arrived shortly after. From there it goes down hill chicken wings where awful and tasted of Tabasco sauce, prawns in batter were plain and bland. Pulled pork served with bread, carrot, gherkin was standard tasted like the chopped up carrot and gherkin had been round a while. chicken burger was ok. Smoke platter was fine. We then asked for the dessert menu no one came back within 15 minutes so we went to the bar and asked for the bill. Only to wait another ten minutes to pay. I wouldn't of minded but it wasn't even busy. With only two girls acting as waitresses, 2/3 men just standing on the front door who only walked round all night and into the bar. No idea what there role actually was other than sit people to there tables And one girl working in the bar. I don't really rate this restaurant.

Really nice food, had the meat platter which was more than enough for two. This is not the sort of place where you need to worry about having a starter!

Only feedback would be that I ordered ravioli children's meal for my baby and it was quite spicy so she ended up just eating the chips. Otherwise, great service, surroundings and food.

Amazing food, maybe don't get a started so the main can be fully enjoyed or share one (share the nachos) but it is definitely one of the best restaurants in town.

Great restaurant food was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to everyone. We also weren't waiting long for the food aswell!

Great atmosphere, really fun and friendly, staff are always very welcoming and attentive. Food is always excellent, especially the platter. Highly recommend this plans to anyone looking for a great night out with great food.

I have visited The Smoke Pit many times, excellent venue, awesome staff and the food is always first class - what more could you ask for. I have marked noise as average as it's a little noisy but adds to the atmosphere of the place :-)

Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere, loved it. Easy to get to and car parking available very close to the venue. Would highly recommend this place.

Great service and food. Generous portions too. It's not the cheapest restaurant, but for what you get, it's worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone

It was Great food, friendly service,and a nice place to sit and eat there were 5 of us and we all enjoyed it very much

This was the 6th visit and they never fail to impress. The food was amazing and the service is attentive without being intrusive. Have already booked our next visit.

Great place, good food - albeit a little pricey. Great décor and attentive staff - awesome selection of drinks, and really kept up with the American theme.

Lovely meal, as always. Great for the kids and good service. The 12 hour short rib was fantastic! Kids had the hot link sausage which they enjoyed.

Had such an amazing evening. The food was so delicious and the cocktails very tasty. Never been there before and loved the surroundings. Great night overall

Great relaxed and lively atmosphere here, the portions are generous and the food absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant as a great place to catch up with friends. The recent updates to the menu are excellent and I would highly recommend the beef and reef platter which we ordered with 1 additional side and was the perfect amount for 2 (rather hungry!) people.

A great night at The Smokepit. Friendly, knowledgable staff, great atmosphere in a quirky setting. The menu was inviting but all sounded so good it made it harder to decide! Was in a party of four, all of which enjoyed every mouth full. A great night. Highly recommend.

It's our second visit there now and it didn't disappoint. Food was excellent. Service was very friendly and although it's was quite busy, food still arrived in a timely manner. Will definitely be returning again some time soon.

Overall we were very disappointed with the food and service. My first impression was not great when I had to wipe the last customers food off my chair before I could sit down. My husbands prime rib of beef had a massive chunk of uncooked fat in the middle and it was served very rare, which he was not expecting. My pulled beef was over seasoned and tasted extremely salty. So much so I couldn't eat it. Also the onion rings were served dripping in grease. We had no check back during the meal so I was unable to select something else to enjoy while hubby was still eating. After he had finished I was asked but by then it's too late and to be fair I'd been put off by what I'd had. We chose the restaurant for our anniversary meal, but will not be hurrying back anytime in the future.
