🔥 About Smokey Rebel
Smokey Rebel is a UK-based flavour company shaking up the world of BBQ rubs and seasonings. We craft bold, small-batch blends that bring unforgettable flavour to everything from grilled meats and roasted veg to tacos, wings, and even air fryer midweek meals.
Founded by Russ, a passionate pitmaster and flavour explorer, Smokey Rebel was born out of a love for fire-cooked food, global recipes, and feeding friends and family something worth remembering. Our rubs are inspired by authentic tastes from around the world — think smoky Argentinian roasts, zesty citrus island blends, spicy Mexican favourites, and rich Mediterranean herbs.
Every can we make is packed with honest ingredients, no fillers, no artificial rubbish — just real flavour that actually delivers. From our bestselling SPG base blend and Hickory Hog pork rub to cult favourites like Greek Odyssey and Cherry Force, our seasonings are designed to work in your oven, smoker, grill, or kitchen pan. They’re versatile, powerful, and seriously addictive.
We offer beautifully presented BBQ gift sets and themed bundles that make perfect presents for food lovers, BBQ fans, or anyone who’s bored of bland. Every order is hand-packed with care, and includes extras like sweets, stickers, and thank-you notes — because great flavour should come with a little fun too.
Our fans use Smokey Rebel rubs for everything from meal prep to Sunday roasts, pulled pork tacos, BBQ wings, veggie skewers, and more. Whether you're a beginner cook or a full-on flavour junkie, we’ve got the spice to fire up your kitchen.
Quick UK shipping, friendly support, and flavours that spark conversation. That’s what makes Smokey Rebel stand out from the crowd — and we read every Trustpilot review to keep improving. So if you’ve cooked something epic or need help picking your next blend, we’re all ears.

Helpful resolution
My recent order arrived damaged and as this was a gift I was unable to give this to my friend. Though the response wasn’t prompt, I’ve had a really helpful response from Smokey Rebel and due to the fault of the courier not themselves they sent their apologies and dealt with the issue perfectly well.

Thanks so much Paul! It’s always great to hear that the rubs are still hitting the spot. We really appreciate your continued support — we’ll keep the flavour coming! 🔥👏
Out of this world!
The team at Smokey Rebel have done it again with a the epic Cherry Force rub. We used the rub on a batch of chicken wings, which were smoked and basted with a cherry glaze.
Keep up the great work team.

Thanks for the kind words Mark! Smoked wings with a cherry glaze and Cherry Force? That’s BBQ magic. We’re buzzing you loved it and really appreciate your support - reviews like this are making a strong case for keeping Cherry Force as part of the range! 😊🔥
Just get it. You won't regret it!
Was recommended by another BBQ enthusiast and this is AMAZING!
I got the SPG rub and it made our steaks immediately taste better! Have been ranting about to it to all my friends. So good!

Best seasonings in the UK by far!
I met the guys funny enough in Houston international airport last year sometime, talked away and told me they were for BBQ tour and told me about Smokey Rebel, so I got back home checked the website and got of the seasons they had on offer and by god! I can't cook without them now! Favourites so far is the Greek Odyssey and Revolution, Cant wait to try the Cherry Force next! Been stocking up now for the past wee while now!

What an amazing story—thanks for. sharing Paul! We remember that airport chat in Houston and are so glad you checked us out when you got home. Hearing that Greek Odyssey and Revolution are now essentials in your kitchen means the world to us. You're going to *love* Cherry Force! 😊🔥🇬🇷
Smokey Rebel rubs don't dissapoint
I love Smokey Rebel rubs they always deliver good quality and shipping is fast.
I like to try the new rubs as they release them and really hope that they make the new Cherry Force BBQ rub a regular and not just a limited edition.

This review is everything—thank you Nicholas! We’re all about big flavour without the filler, and it’s amazing to hear that it shines through for you. So glad you’re loving the vibe and the product. Absolute legends like you keep us fired up! 🙌💥
Fantastic flavours
I've been using a selection of smokey rebel rubs for a while - I was so impressed with today's meal I thought I'd add a review.
Used Al Pastor taco rub with left over roast chicken, onions peppers to make taco filling this evening and was blown away by the depth of flavours - superbly tasty tacos with so little effort!
Wingman (on chicken wings) has also been a hit with the whole family, especially the kids who generally turn down anything with too much heat (chilli or pepper)
Looking forward to trying Cherry Force on ribs next.

Thank you Mark for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We’re so glad the Al Pastor rub turned your leftovers into a taco night to remember. And hearing that Wingman is a family favourite—especially with the kids—is music to our ears. Can’t wait to hear how Cherry Force goes on those ribs! 😊🔥
Great!
Purchased as a gift - arrived on time and the rubs look great, love the packaging! Was a very well received gift and wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Amazing just amazing
Hi Russ, I cooked wings last weekend and tried three of the rubs on them. Wow all so different everyone loved them. The following day did a pork and chicken Gyros on the rotisserie. I’m not knocking other rubs (I’ve tried a few) but these are on a different level. Cheers guys!

This is what it’s all about—thank you Mike! Wings, pork, and chicken gyros all in one weekend? That’s a serious cook-up, and we’re so glad the rubs delivered. Hearing they’re next-level compared to others is the best compliment we could ask for. 🙌🔥 Cheers from all of us!

Great Flavours
First came across Smokeyrebel at a county show and was impressed by their knowledge and love of BBQ. These smaller tins are ideal for people trying different tastes and for those who don’t get the BBQ out every week. I’ve used the bigger tins and after a good shake (if they’ve already been opened) shake out easily. Great taste. Quality shines through!
