Fab, fab, fab! I loved everything about it. The combination of a fantastic menu packed with fresh, mouth watering choices, the most attentive & friendly staff and the quirky, rustic decoration truly makes this eatery a place to visit! Well done guys! �
Although I've never eaten here, we followed a recommendation to have Smokehouse cater for a party we were having. I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing, delivered to our house. Very impressive, friendly service, we couldn't fault anything. Thank you so much, Smokehouse - we can't wait to visit the restaurant and try something different from the menu!
My girlfriend and me can't recommend this place enough. The meal we had was lovely. They should be on the Just Eat app. I'd definitely use this place before any other greasy takeaway in the town.

Had my first taste of the food there today. Quick and polite service, it was obvious the food was prepared on site and very fresh. I ordered the pulled pork, the brisket burger and the chicken with wedges. Sharing these with the family there was plenty to go around and there were 4 satisfied people. Pulled pork tender and moist, brisket burger cooked just right, wedges tasty, and the chicken had an amazing flavour, I did comment on how the chicken skin didn't look crisp enough but as I ate it I had to change my opinion, nice and crisp with loads of flavour. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what's next.
Popped in here today whilst in the area, brisket & pulled pork was to die for with a coleslaw & side salad all washed down with a good mug of tea. Loved the authentic decor too �
The best places always take a little finding - well worth it though. Slow cooked brisket with home cooked chips and slaw. The rub they used packed more flavour than you can find for that price anywhere I can think of.. Honest, Tasty and Great value can't be wrong... be back soon with the rest of our posse
Hidden secret in Bishop.
Had the family sharer and it was great, home made sausage and melt in the mouth meat. Got to see the redevelopment of a lovely building and great food cooked on an authentic American smoking oven.
Went to the smokehouse yesterday with family. We had a couple of sharing platters between us � everyone agreed the pulled pork was amazing but the sausage, chicken and brisket were also very tasty. Only 1 thing I would have preferred would be for the frickles to be either whole pickles or have a thinner/lighter batter. There is also a great selection of homemade sauces. I look forward to your festive additions! Thanks �
Finally lost my smokehouse virginity the other day and I can safely say I was not disappointed. The food was amazing, very friendly service and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Just popped in with the pooches for a sausagey treat! Food looks and smells amazing - the dogs scoffed the lot! I had an Amish pickled egg - bloomin lovely �
Went here 2 day for lunch had the lunch time special brisket and chips was fab service was first class will defo be visiting again ��x
Just wow! A welcome and much needed eating place for Bishop Auckland. Fantastic food, high quality local ingredients and great service. This is exactly what Bishop needs, places to be regenerated not closed and money being invested for the benefit of local people, not invested in an ugly viewing tower or Spanish Art Gallery!
A quick visit on the way to the Caps Off beer festival today. Awesome loaded fries with some great craft cask. Nice chilled atmosphere with friendly staff. Looking forward to another visit soon. 5 Stars.
Finally got to try this place after a bit of confusion regarding the opening times.. Food was excellent; highlights include the frickles, onion rings, wings, pork belly, corn, slaw, ribs and burnt ends. The lass serving is was lovely. One of the best BBQ joints in the UK of the several I have visited (see my other reviews). Will return soon.
Such a great place to visit for meat lovers! We shared a platter and the smoked meats were exceptional! Tried all the sauces too which go great with everything. Only a few tables inside so make sure you book but it adds to the friendly atmosphere!
Had the take away many times but it's just not the same as eating in fresh off the trays it just doesn't travel well it gets amalgamated and soft by the time your home but it still tastes fab just looks flat
Presentation is far better and you are able to see what your eating
Meat is cooked slow and dining in service is slow but worth the wait
It's a busy place
Once it's gone it's sold out

Been here a few times now and I've loved Everytime, including tonight, however, there were a few things that just weren't how they normally are but A LOT that was the usual delicious meaty goodness. The ribs were unreal, the burnt ends, belly pork bites and pulled pork were delicious but the brisket seemed dry? like it had been warmed on a grill/hot plate? It normally has a lovely red smoke ring too which was missing tonight, maybe it was just our portion? I'm not sure but like I say it isn't normally like this so could have just been a one off? The taco special was very nice too and although I don't like beef dripping chips my partner said they were delicious.(I ordered onion rings for this reason but please that isn't a negative, I just don't like dripping but my partner said they were the usual lovely crispy chips)The onion rings were amazing as normal but my biggest downfall was the pit beans. They're normally a lovely BBQ meaty feast but tonight they were different and tasted a lot like mustard? Great if you love mustard I guess but I could have cried into mine haha. I was devastated hahaha (I love those beans). The staff are amazing and it's such a lovely chill atmosphere. We will defo be back and I'm hoping the beans are back to their original BBQ meaty goodness.
Great place to eat if you love your meats. Our go to for great quality takeaway can't wait till we can eat in again.
What a amazing secret spot. Warm welcome. An exceptional selection of low slow smoked meats and the sides were amazing. They have local craft beers and a great selection of gins. Blown away... Great work guys.
Absolutely love it here. Fantastic food and very helpful and friendly staff.
Excellent food and really nice vibe. The platters are amazing and a good selection of drinks as well.
Absolutely beautiful. The burgers were flame grilled to perfection and the fries were to die for. I love it here . It was so nice to see every table had people on and there were also take away orders coming through so we are not the only ones.
This smokehouse is a true hidden gem. Within its quirky exterior which I loved, is a warm welcome, warm atmosphere and delicious food, served with personal attention to our comfort and enjoyment of our meal. The railroad theme with a British twist added to the wonderful atmosphere. My colleagues and I enjoyed our meal immensely and took with us what we couldn't finish in take away boxes. Next time I'm in the area I intend to be back. Highly recommended.
Wow! Because of the reviews we had pretty high hopes, not always a great thing to have... but everything was perfect!
From the quirky decor, tables and serving 'pans', right down to the lovely food.
Slightly disappointing the ribs had sold out, but they properly smoke everything before hand of course so can only be first coe first served. One of the best smoke/BBQ places I've eaten in, this side of the Atlantic! :-)
Unique food served up by a local family business, really enjoyed my Turkey lunch today, the roasted sprouts, buffalo cauliflower & the house mate pigs in blankets, Yes!!
That handmade gravy was divine, thanks guys
A true carnivores delight.! Everything on the menu is very well cooked and seasoned. Loaded cheese n bacon fries go down well with Brisket burnt ends, pulled pork or burger! My son had chicken wings and compared them with the best he'd had.
Service can be a little slow at times due to popular takeaways, and surroundings may not suit all, we think it lends to the overall look of the place, but no matter, just wait and you will be rewarded! The IPA is an excellent libation too.
Are the burgers as good as Caps off.......?.... You decide..... You will not be dissappointed. 👍 All meats are locally sourced too. 👍👍
Visited the Smokehouse and the service was impeccable. Very accommodating with my food intolerance which I would have given 5 stars for alone. Food was just as good and did not dissapoint. Shame I do not live closer or I would be a regular!
Really tasty take out. All the meats were nice lean tender cuts. Only problem is choosing what to have as it's all good! 👍👍👍
A little gem of a place. Food is delicious, very friendly and great atmosphere.
