Company details

  1. Meat Dish Restaurant

Written by the company

Our primary cuisine is Texas-style barbecue. Our dishes tend to baseline on four key ingredients: aged wood, quality meat, sea salt and cracked black pepper. Combining this with the low and slow method of cooking makes our food flavoursome and tender. This is paired with classic American sides; such as macaroni cheese and southern potato salad. You can visit us at our store in Buck Street Market, KERB street food markets or hire us for private events

The food is incredible

The food is incredible, with the meat being tender and juicy, bursting with a variety of delightful flavors. The burgers, in particular, are exceptional and come highly recommended.

The most succulent brisket in London

Absolutely blown away by my experience at Smoke & Bones! I had the brisket, sausage, and the Big Smoke burger — every single bite was packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the sausage was juicy and full of smoky depth and the burger was amazing too!

What really made the visit stand out though was the incredible service — Waqas went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, offering great recommendations and making sure everything was spot on. Friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about the food and the experience.

Highly recommend Smoke & Bones if you’re looking for authentic, succulent BBQ and outstanding service. Can’t wait to go back!

Best around

Honestly, Smoke & Bones are the OG halal smokehouse in the UK and still the best in the business. I’ve tried loads over the years but nothing comes close — the brisket, ribs, everything is just on point. Proper flavour, proper smoke, every single time. These guys really know what they’re doing.

This BEST smokehouse in London

This smokehouse is the best I’ve been to by far! I’ve been following these guys on their instagram page for years as they started off in pop ups and they finally have a shop in Walthamstow! I would definitely recommend their brisket and spareribs as they both melt in your mouth and has a wonderful flavour. Now don’t get me started on the Big Smoke, my goodness, the best burger I’ve ever had by far. Burnt ends in a burger? Very hard to beat. The staff are lovely and a few seats are available too, would definitely recommend this place for meat and burger lovers!!

Best smokehouse in the UK (by far)

This is by far the best smoke house in the UK.

The new shop on 444 Forest Road in Walthamstow is a lovely new spot to eat in London. I couldn’t fault it. The food is fresh, high quality and cooked to perfection. No corners are being cut and I'll certainly be back for more!
