Smokehouse Railway Street in County Durham

What's not to like? Friendly, helpful staff, great food, lovely cider - good to have a choice, same goes for beers. Give it a go - it's not a posh place if that's what you're looking for but it's cosy and tasteful.

Absolutely love it here. Fantastic food and very helpful and friendly staff.

Chicken wings were drastically overcooked and dried out, onion rings were 99% batter and very greasy. Loaded fries were nice though

What a amazing secret spot. Warm welcome. An exceptional selection of low slow smoked meats and the sides were amazing. They have local craft beers and a great selection of gins. Blown away... Great work guys.

Friday night at 7.30 pm you'd expect the place to be rammed. We managed to get a table immediately. Food was ok. Didn't taste like it was smoked. Ribs weren't falling off the bone as I'd expect, neither were they melt in your mouth. Was cold in places, like it had been microwaved.The rest of the food was acceptable.Not worth a second visit.

What a discovery !! Great atmosphere and fab food .A great family ran eating house I can highly recommend to food lovers meat and veggie options. We will return.

As you can see the chicken was not cooked pink as you can see in photoAnd was recommended by them to order this and was full of greaseAs you can see I didn’t eat any of itAlso the rib of racks I’ve tasted better at AldiIf your going to sell food do the job right or quitThe burger was the worst I’ve ever tasted better of going mc Donald if you coming hereAnd the chips awfulAll you see in the pics went in the bin

Such a great place to visit for meat lovers! We shared a platter and the smoked meats were exceptional! Tried all the sauces too which go great with everything. Only a few tables inside so make sure you book but it adds to the friendly atmosphere!

Great place to eat if you love your meats. Our go to for great quality takeaway can't wait till we can eat in again.

Unique food served up by a local family business, really enjoyed my Turkey lunch today, the roasted sprouts, buffalo cauliflower & the house mate pigs in blankets, Yes!!That handmade gravy was divine, thanks guys
