Passion & Smoke was founded in 2013 with the single aim of using fantastic sourced local ingredients with people that feel passionate about food & adding a bit of good old American smoke, spice & of course passion.

 All our food & even our sauces are smoked long & slow using English wood from sustainable forests. Depending on what we are smoking we use a mix of cherry, Sweet chestnut & apple wood to slowly smoke the food in one of our authentic pit smokers a process that can sometimes last up to a whole day.

The end result is the most mouth watering long, low & slow apple wood smoked pulled pork, dirty beef brisket,  Beef Short Ribs, New York Pastrami, St Louis Pork ribs & Butter Milk chicken, to name a few.. We also produce authentic American dishes like Mac & Cheese, Jambalaya & Seafood Gumbo. Every thing we make is home-made from scratch. We also make all our own rubs, marinades & sauces.

We are the real deal wood fired American pit barbecue. A self-contained cook house on wheels & can go anywhere sometimes with a twist.

“A great idea from over there using the best from over here ” Pit Barbecue is all about using slow, long & low indirect heat & smoke. It’s about the secret recipes, rubs, sauces & seasoning to produce the most mouthwatering food you have ever tasted. 

We are well versed in the events world, from large scale events such as Glastonbury or Boomtown to smaller more local events such as EATfestival.

In recent years, and after COVID the business has grown and now has multiple physical sites. In 2022 taking over The Bay Cafe in preparation for the landing of the SEEmonster, from taking on The Bay, we have transformed this venue both physically and through taste by revolutionising the menu.

Our most recent venture sees us taking on The Victorian which we are just getting our teeth stuck into.
