Description

Step into Smokeworks and let smoke, spice and good humour set the tone. This tucked‑away Cambridge smokehouse serves bold BBQ classics—slow‑smoked ribs, pulled beef and loaded platters—alongside thick milkshakes, clever cocktails and a rotating selection of beers. Portions are generous, many dishes are naturally gluten‑free and the staff make hospitality their craft, from friendly recommendations to thoughtful attention at the table. With two cosy levels, a shuffleboard room for late‑night fun and a warm, bustling vibe, Smokeworks is where comfort food meets conviviality.

A regular dinning experience which is always great. Simple BBQ style menu with portions that don't disappoint and taste great. Good selection of drinks. Beers, cocktails, alcoholic and non alcoholic shakes. Also had a go at the newish shuffle board room. Ended a fun night for the family.

I recently visited Smokeworks again after having been there before and raising some concerns with management. They quickly got back to me and resolved everything. On my second visit, the experience was absolutely amazing! The team went out of their way to make sure my whole family had a great time. I really appreciate the effort — thanks again, and I’m happy to recommend them! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30

Really helpful staff, said all the right things without me having to ask. My son had ribs and I had a pulled beef bun, both were delicious. Both of us have felt fine afterwards.

More information

Smokeworks’ compact split‑level layout means you can ask for an upstairs table if you prefer a slightly quieter spot — local regulars often choose upstairs for a relaxed meal while groups flock to the ground floor near the bar and shuffleboard.
