Blue's Smokehouse

Walk into Blue's and you're immediately hit with that unmistakable smoke—the kind that clings to your clothes and makes you crave seconds before you've finished firsts. It's a no-nonsense sort of place, all exposed brick and that industrial vibe that works brilliantly on the High Street. You'll find yourself sat elbow-to-elbow with locals who've clearly worked out that proper barbecue doesn't need to be precious; it just needs to be done right. The pulled pork falls apart like it's got a personal vendetta against the plate, and their sides—proper cornbread, mac and cheese that actually tastes like something—keep you coming back.
