Out of beef shirt rib for a second time. Both on a Saturday, peak time to be fully stocked. Apart from that it was fine.

Lovely meal, as always. Great for the kids and good service. The 12 hour short rib was fantastic! Kids had the hot link sausage which they enjoyed.

very friendly waiting staff, big portions, great food (onion rings very greasy though with little taste) and it got quite noisy. But would highly recommend and look forward to next visit

The food was excellent and the service was very good. Just a bit of a problem with the noise as it was difficult to hear people on my table.

A favorite place to stop when we visit Northmapton. Normally great food and a really good atmosphere. Starters & sides were amazing especially the Nachos, just slightly sad that one of the main courses was dry and over-cooked. When alerted to it the staff & manager were great about it, offering free drinks and discounts to the meal and apologies. By the end of the meal we were completely full & satisfied, a nice meal. Will definitely return next year we are back and would recommend to anyone!

Great relaxed and lively atmosphere here, the portions are generous and the food absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant as a great place to catch up with friends. The recent updates to the menu are excellent and I would highly recommend the beef and reef platter which we ordered with 1 additional side and was the perfect amount for 2 (rather hungry!) people.

Its great food at a decent price :) I know the chairs are trying to be in keeping with the ambience, but you are basically sat on expensive garden furniture. Something with cushions would be nice.

A great night at The Smokepit. Friendly, knowledgable staff, great atmosphere in a quirky setting. The menu was inviting but all sounded so good it made it harder to decide! Was in a party of four, all of which enjoyed every mouth full. A great night. Highly recommend.

My partner and I took our friends who were visiting us for the weekend. The food was amazing and really filling, a starter is definitely not needed. The hangar steak was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. I would definitely recommend this place to any meat lovers. It is one of my favourite restaurants in Northampton.

Good food, really like all the slow cooked meats. Portions and pretty large, particularly the platter we had which we did not come close to finishing between two of us. Not somewhere I would ever feel the need for a starter. This just makes it better value though in my opinion. Do some very nice beers also.

Even though the wait was quite long, when the food finally came out with it was absolutely fantastic, as it normally is whenever I go there! I had the ribeye steak, which was cooked perfectly and my friend, who had never been there before, had the platter for one, which she said was amazing. The staff were also lovely and our waiter especially. Already making plans to go again at some point.

Great quality food served quickly despite warning of waiting time. Perception of prices are slightly high but dishes are original for the geographical location and the restaurant clearly values its individuality. Shall be returning soon. So many more dishes to try!
