Fantastic ambience, great food, huge portions, great selection.... waitress a little ‘touchy’ but we made a joke out of it... minor issue, food needed to be hotter.

The food was excellent but the service was poor. We were dumped out the front rather than in the main restaurant and were pretty much forgotten. We weren't offered drinks beyond when we arrived and after ordering a tea, we had to chase it up 3 times. I'm hoping this was just a blip.

It was very loud in the restaurant and staff were all over the plate. We asked for drinks and didn't get them till quite a while later even though the bar was empty. I got given a glass for my re-fillable but they didn't actually tell me where I needed to go to get my drink as we had never been before. I had to ask. The food was ok but mine was very powerful due to to much cheese on it. The food got taken away from us when I hadn't even finished my chips. Staff did not ask if we were finished but just assumed. I even had a member of staff bump into me and they didn't even say sorry. I don't think we will be visiting there again.

Food was very good, but service was poor, we were forgotten about, towards the end of our meal a random man was seated at our table which is completely out of order and when we paid, the £7 worth of change was just put in the tip jar without being questioned. Very disappointing evening.

Food was nice and good size portions but overpriced, comfortable and relaxed surroundings service was good but wasn't busy at the time, probably wouldn't go back purely because it wasn't value for money

We had a great time at the Smoke Pit recently! The food was good, and came fairly quickly given that we were a party of 8 with lots of substitutions, etc. Would be nice if there was more choice for the vegans in our party but overall great food and decent portions!

Good portions. Burger with lots of toppings and best onion rings ever. Swift service and daily specials. Had the toffee lava cake - really yummy with creamy banana ice cream. Overall good experience. Only minus was table was a bit sticky and menu cards could be cleaner - downside of so much good food that people handle! Don’t let that put you off - great casual burger restaurant.

Our first time here and really impressed. All the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The food was delicious. We were treated to the brand new menu and all of us loved our dishes. The halloumi sticks and garlic gambas starters were a real treat. My father in law also really enjoyed the music. Thank you smokepit for an enjoyable experience.
