Had such a great time at Besay. Food was amazing, the Padrón peppers genuinely the best I've had; they give a twist that makes them unique. And shout to their special espresso martini.

About the restaurant

Smok'd London Bridge is an independent backstreet smokehouse taking influence from BBQ all over the world. Smoking, roasting, charring and grilling: inspired by the smoked meats of great American pit masters, but cooked with a Modern British touch.

Renownd for our cocktails, huge whisky collection and cozy vibe.

Smok’d can also be found in Battersea at The Candlemaker Smok’d and Kingston upon Thames at The Grey Horse Smok’d.

About the restaurant

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR HEATED AND COVERED TERRACE FOR GROUPS FROM MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLDS

Barbeque grew up in the South of the USA where cooks learned to slow roast cuts of meat over fire pits to make them tender. Exposure to the smoke of the smouldering wood added a distinctive smoky taste to the meat. The process could take many hours, leaving the meat tender and juicy.

Our award-winning smoker has been imported from the USA and is built to recreate the cooking process of those original fire pits. We use the traditional American woods of hickory and mesquite to give a full smoke flavour, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 16 hours.
