The Poets Ale And Smoke House

I have been looking for the best homemade nachos in town and this is very much in the top 3. Nachos are incredible and they come in really generous portions, staff couldn't be kinder and more lovely, I like that one room is dedicated to sports but the rest of the pub isn't. Nice upstairs area and good range of beers - would definitely recommend

Epic smokehouse! Really enjoyed my meal here, I had the Texas Chain Saw Massacre burger (sounds awful I know) which was just brimming with meaty goodness. The chips that came free with all of the burgers were really good as well. My brother had the Ribs and really enjoyed them, the quantity was huge, I think it was definitely more than one cow's worth of ribs! The atmosphere was fine but maybe a bit too rowdy as it was full of builders who had gone for after work pints on a friday. I'm sure they were having fun but we couldn't really hear our own conversation. Great choice of Harvey's beers as expected from a harveys pub. Looking forward to visiting again to try more on the menu! 🤤

As a local, this is my go-to pub. The weekday smokehouse menu is fantastic, and the roasts are even better!! ✨ There are plenty of indoor tables across several rooms, and a vibrant pub garden for warmer days. All the staff are personable and friendly, and there’s a good selection of beers, gins, and cocktails available. FYI, this is a very popular pub for watching sport and has several large screens for showing football and rugby games. The atmosphere goes from ‘relaxed neighbourhood pub’ to pretty loud and crowded on match days - so if you’re after a quieter experience, I’d recommend looking up the fixtures before visiting!! 🙌🏻

It's not often in an give out a 5 star rating on a first service...I had to here!.but I will have to come.back and if the standard is the same and give you an accurate rating. So let's get to the review. I used to live in New York so know my brisket, which I cam here for their Sunday roast..you can have it with chicken, lamb or brisket. I got the brisket and it came out fast and was a great size. The beetroot, red cabbage, broccoli and carrots were cooked well not soggy or overcooked really nice. The brisket itselef was the star was melting in my mouth. All with a cold beer I was in heaven. The place is disabled friendly and my assistant dog was treated really well..water and treats were given to her which I appreciated. The bar itself was showing sports and the crowd were all cool and the ambience great. So overall a great find and my go to place for Sunday roast now! I'll be back to order the triple meat roast and will report back.

I went here for Sunday lunch, as the poet's never disappoint! I had lamb roast and my partner had the beef brisket. It was so delicious and succulent with lovely flavour, large Yorkies and good (not over done) veggies. I love this pub for their roasts and as I say they never disappoint! Keep up the good work. It's a real pleasure to go with good attentive staff and lovely food and surroundings.
