Start to finish this was an excellent experience. Arrived early and was seated at the bar and…read moreenjoyed a very very good negroni. We were seated promptly and looked after very well with one additional placing set as requested. (We had the feast menu preordered) The starters were an interesting selection, all very fresh and perfectly cooked. The mains were a step up from there and again a really beautifully balanced offering of flavours. I would have perhaps liked a few more greens as a side but that is a minor note. The waiter made intelligent wine suggestions and the Rioja we took was magnificent. Deserts were outstanding however it would have been good if them to make it clear there were peanuts as one of the group is allergic and came close. I strongly suggest you check out this restaurant and venue, where many before have failed I can see Smokehouse sticking around (I hope) for many years to come Alex

This was recommended to us by a friend. I would say I expected more. We had their lamb and beef for…read moreSunday roast. Their cocktails were good. The food was delicious but then the potatoes were too hard and some Of the veggies such as the parsnip was actually hard as well. The flavor was great but I expected their Veggies to be perfectly cooked as well.

This kitchen/pub must be old as you get that feeling from the building and the old wood fires they…read morehave but this has been done up so well as to modernise and not to lose it's original charm. It isn't cheap but is well worth the money especially if you go with the kids as they eat free.... whenever! A nice sunday roast at home or pay for 2 meals and still feed the family, without all the hassle jackpot. This place does hold many functions including weddings and always has events going on, it is well worth checking out. The fact that it is set in the middle of a village not close to anything doesn't do it any favours for those going for the night but well worth the trip. Almost forgot to add that they now have a masterchef quarter finalist in the kitchen so thats not worth sniffing at.

Brisket is very good, pulled pork okay, mac cheese is poor…read more Icecreams are very good, cheese cake is not a bad effort. The cider mashes are surprisingly good, definitely worth a bash! Update: this is definitely the best if the twickenham trio of bbq joints. Staff are quirky but very friendly. Dulce de leche icecream/shake is to die for. Wings excellent. Sweet potato fries great. St louis ribs good. Beans with pulled pork very nice. Avoid the mac and cheese options, and pickles. Update 2: chilli watery, lacking in depth. Corn bowl okay. Slaw good but spicy.

Well, it was not what I was expecting! I went with some colleagues for lunch and I wasn't thrilled…read morewith the prospect. The outside and inside decor look like a really terrible American low-quality food chain and I wasn't excited to try it. But! We had the loveliest waitress, very attentive, very happy to walk through the menu and spot on. The guys had banana milkshakes and I loved that they came with little bright green curly straws - cute to see these manly men with their petite straws. The food was really lovely too. One colleague got the hot dog - it was incredible looking, enormous and slathered with stuff. I did think it would be impossible to eat with your hands, but he proved me wrong. My chicken wrap was really tasty and nicely done, and the fries were delicious - possibly the best I've had in a while. When one friend couldn't finish his sausage platter with mac and cheese, the waitress cheerfully wrapped it up for him so he could carry it away. Nice! The music was terrific, a great mix of old blues. So why oh why is there a big screen telly playing current music videos over the bar, complete with naked writhing women and gangsters? Shut it off - you're ruining the vibe you actually got me to like. Is it cheesy? Yes. But it's supposed to be. And it's good. But shut off that damn tv.

Considering that the Brighton Smokehouse has featured on Nigel Slater's cooking show and has won…read moreRadio 4's best take away award, I don't know how I managed to miss this place for so long! I must have walked passed it hundreds of times as it is nestled under the arches on Brighton seafront right in the middle of the historic fishing quarter, and for some reason I have never ventured in. Anyway, I broke my smokehouse virginity a few weeks ago when me and the boyf popped in after work on a sunny Friday evening and got a bite to eat on the beach. I went for a crab sandwich and he went for a kipper roll. Today I popped back to try their smoked mackerel pate on toast. All the fish is caught locally in Brighton and is smoked by Jack in a small shed opposite the shop. The food is by no means gastronomic but it is hearty, honest food. Yes, the bread could be better, but the fish is the key ingredient and you can't beat eating a fresh meal on the beach just meters from where it was caught. The crab sandwich features entirely brown meat, the most flavoursome in my opinion, and is a steal at £3.50 - I paid three times this for a crab sandwich on a recent trip to Cornwall. The mackerel pate is really delicious - creamy with a hint of warmth from the pepper. On top of this, they sell fish to take home if you are not hungry at the time of your visit. Jack and Linda have been running this smokehouse for what seems like an eternity. They are always happy to chat and obviously love what they do. This place should be top of the list for locals and tourists alike.

Fish and the seaside go hand in hand together. Jack and…read moreLinda Mills understand this. It's one of the reasons they opened the Brighton Smokehouse on the sea-front. A tiny shop nestled in Brighton's fishing quarter, they offer fresh fish to take away and cook at home and daily specials to eat outside on the beach. There's crab sandwiches, grilled kippers, smoked mackerel pate, deep fried white bait and plaice goujons to choose from. I've sampled a few and they've all been lip-smackingly good. Endearingly, you can eat your lunch on the sea-front, in front of the little black smokehouse they built when they moved in. If they're smoking something that day, you might even smell the oak and applewood drifting out of the hut.

My best friend and I popped in here for some dinner at about 9:30pm, so immediately I was quite…read morepleased that it was still open! We both had the Burnside Burger (cheese, bacon) and skin-on fries. The food came quite quickly, which I assume was because there was only two other parties in the restaurant at the time, but regardless I'll still give them points for a speedy delivery. The burger was quite messy but that's what made it authentically American. The patty itself was a little thinner than I expected and didn't have much of a taste to it so I assume it wasn't seasoned very well, but the cheese melted over it nicely. I would've thought they'd use American streaky bacon but it was actually thick, back rasher English bacon which I preferred. The fries were lovely, a huge portion for one person, and the sauces on the table were all brilliant (we tried them all, my personal favourite was Carolina BBQ). Overall an okay experience and at quite a low price too. £20 for two meals and two drinks, you really can't beat it, even though I would have liked my burger to be more seasoned.

I went in with high expectations after my Sister claimed that their main restaurant was one of the best in East London. First off, the space is BEAUTIFUL. Taking in the Garden at the back I was already daydreaming about summer evening spent there with friends and family. Looking at the menu I was initially disappointed with the lack of vegetable sides and that there was only one fish dish (but really, what did I expect with a name liked 'Smokehouse' right?). These worries were soon put behind me once the starters and mains arrived. First off, all the dishes come with vegetables and secondly, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEIR KALE AND ROMAINE LETTUCE SIDES. The kale was DELICIOUS and they had some how managed to make the ol' lettuce a little more appealing with some sort of yummy light sauce. We ordered the Sunday roast Chicken to share and (see photos) it was super super yummy. As it turned colder we were excited to find that they had a basket of blankets outside for the guests to cuddle up into. Who doesn't love that!? We decided to head inside for some tea and dessert and shared their Double D tart which was VERY YUMMY. It wasn't too sweet and was very very satisfying. Ended up coming back the next night with the Grandmother who at first had her doubts (with the veggie sides too!) but at the end of the night couldn't stop praising the food. We came back 2 days after with the rest of the family who absolutely loved it. As it is still fairly new its quite easy to get a table but I wouldn't wait around because this place is such to get jam packed by summer. Gonna be a regular here for sure.. If I'm not already considered one!

Love their garden area. Especially in the summers..it's tucked away and the tables are well spread out. Been here primarily for drinks. The on tap list is impressive. Want to go here for an elaborate whisky tasting. Service gets a little slow and I have found some of them to be quite pushy about orders at times. Impressed with their barman though!
