Amazing food, lovely staff and quirky fantastic decor. This was probably my 5th or 6th visit and it will definitely not be my last. The smoke pit does the best bbq in town hands down.

Good staff, nice atmosphere. Little disappointed with the food. Starter of crab in tempura batter was mostly batter. Very little crab. Told waitress but no mention of discount. Mains were nice but everything so coated with bbq sauce that it covered any natural flavour from the meat

We had a great time at the smoke pit. We had some big burgers and if you needed to show someone what meat taste like, the pulled brisket is the embodiment of all that is meat.....really nice staff and refillable any kind of drink you like drinks. Good stuff

Had to complain about 2 out of 6 of our meals-the ribs were full of fat (and couldn't have been slow cooked for 10 hours as the menu suggested) and the T-bone steak was full of sinew and gristle. This was handled well by staff who gave a discount on our bill but still ruined what was supposed to be a special meal for a 60th birthday celebration.

We had a fab time at the Smoke Pit, celebrating hubby Pauls birthday with a big group of the family from 3 years to 65 years. Food and the atmosphere was great. Can't wait to go back and also try the new venue Hops and Chops. Thanks

The Smoke Pit remains one of our favourite, if not *the* favourite, eateries in Northamptonshire. The food is consistently of an excellent standard. Sadly for other restaurants, they have to make a damned good case even to warrant consideration!

One of ordered meats was not really properly done. There was enormous waiting time for being served (15min) and for meals to arrive (35min). Anything else was good, but I know it can be better.
