comment_iconOpinions

I visited here with my wife and son of 15 as the menu on Facebook sounded nice. We managed to get a booking for 8:40PM, which was the earliest booking available for that day when we booked 3 days in advance.When we arrived, the service was friendly and polite. The music was too loud (as in "party" loud) and the ambience was very shouty, as everyone had to shout to hear one-other over the music, and then you get those that are trying to shout over the ones that are shouting over the music.We were promptly seated and our order taken. However, the one thing I went for was not on the menu. Steak! Apparently they had run out. According to the menu, you can upgrade your steak for £1 per extra ounce, suggesting that it's freshly cut to order. Obviously, this would be very popular, so I would expect this to be the one thing that they NEVER run out of. We were given 3 copies of a printed A4 menu, which was very different to what was on the menus on Facebook and strangely had a lot of Indian food on it. Do people really go to a smokehouse and grill for a curry?? I was under the assumption that an Indian would be the best place to go for Indian food. Perhaps I've been doing it wrong all these years?We ordered some sides to start. Lamb and Chorizo Meatballs, Cheeky Tikka (chicken pieces) and pork belly bites. I have to say, we enjoyed every bit of these. It was really nice and raised our expectations somewhat.As for the meal that followed:My son ordered the 22 Big Burger. He wasn't keen on the burger itself, but I thought it was quite tasty. It comes with two patties, cheese, thinly sliced steak, yes, STEAK (grrr...) and it's skewered with a knife to hold it together. It looks impressive, but it's difficult to eat. Once you remove the knife, it doesn't want to stay together. The burger had to be deconstructed and eaten with a knife and fork.I had a platter. It had, among other things, 2 chicken wings, which were nice, pork belly bites, which this time were dry and overcooked, and half a rack of ribs. The ribs, sadly, had a rancid fat taste to them which, apparently, not everyone can taste, but I believe it is caused when a fatty meat has been frozen for a long time. It's unlike me to leave anything, especially meat, but I couldn't finish this. Even with the extremely sweet sauce smothering them, the rancid taste was too overpowering. It did come with some brisket, which was very tasty, but I can't help but wonder if it was bought in.My wife had a half rack of ribs and fries topped with brisket chilli. She wasn't too keen on the chilli, but the mouthful I had was nice. She could not taste the rancidness of her half rack of ribs, but I could.We also had a milkshake each, which had potential, but felt like it was made with really cheap ice cream. It tasted like sweetener, which made the milkshake taste strange.After we had finished, my son went to use the toilet. When he returned, I could actually smell urine. Apparently, the men's toilets stunk of urine and were not very clean. I can only assume that my son walked on a floor he though was wet from water, but it was not water he stood in! I asked if he thought the toilet had been cleaned recently, and he said that he doesn't think it had been done at all since the start of the day at the earliest. I suspect that there are no cleaners on site during business hours and everyone else is there to cook, or serve food and drink and therefore not prepared to clean. I find this bitterly disappointing. I wonder what would happen if someone threw up?I also noticed that there was a party of people in the booth by us and even though there were no children present, there was two greasy child hand prints on the mirror wall in the booth. Establishments that serve food are supposed to be taking extra measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but apparently, this does not apply to 22 Bar & Smokehouse. There were also various items scattered around the central area of the floor, such as a small pencil, screwed up napkins and receipts, and not one member of staff bothered to pick them up yet they were walked over by numerous members of staff throughout the night. I just felt like no-one cared and only did what they had to do, and nothing more. Just as you would expect from kids.We each ended with a sundae. Even though we were the last of two tables in the building, it took about 20 minutes before our desserts were served. When they arrived, they were seemingly just thrown together. There was about an inch of sickly chocolate sauce at the bottom of the sundae glass. There was chocolate sauce running down the side of each of the glasses and the ice cream was almost totally melted. By the time we had finished, it looked like we were all messy eaters as there were puddles of chocolate sauce on the table. While we were finishing, the music changed mid-track to something more like what you might hear in a club. I can only assume the staff decided to put their own music on. I suppose they figured since it was the end of the night, why bother showing any kind of professionalism or consideration for the remaining customers? Three times we all jumped as a girl behind the bar threw a bottle into the empty-bottle bin so hard, I could swear she was trying to smash the bottles in the bin. The last time she did it, it was so loud it actually hurt my ear drum. If you've ever had someone clap right by your ear, that's pretty much what it felt like to me. I think it was lazy, rude and inconsiderate.After we'd got home and later went to bed, my son and I woke up at least 4 or 5 times to get some water. The food was evidently so laden with salt that it left us seriously dehydrated. It was a rough night and difficult to get comfortable. I only make a point of mentioning it as it's the first time it's ever happened to me. I actually thought I was ill as I felt a bit off, but fortunately, I was better by morning.Conclusion:I think this place is pretentious and failed to deliver on what I would expect for the prices. We paid £57 for the 3 of us, which would have been £87 without the Eat Out to Help Out discount. We do not feel that we had almost 90 pounds worth of food, or that this represented good value for money. I've eaten nicer food for half the price elsewhere. Would we return? Definitely not! Even for the starters, which we really enjoyed as it was far too loud to be enjoyable. With such wishy-washy standards and high prices, it's shocking that they seem so packed out all the time. People seem completely oblivious to the lack of quality and value for money and I can't understand why. I can only assume that perhaps people are using this place as a sign of status to show everyone they have money to burn, or that they don't really understand what quality is. I recently went to Heathfield Farm, and not only was the food quality much better, it was much cheaper! I think that 22 Bar & Grill are trying to be posh and sophisticated, but are failing dismally in pulling it off. We were extremely disappointed with how they seem to have earned such a good reputation and are coasting on that whilst bringing little to the table. My biggest regret was parting with another £15 for desserts and not just popping to McDonalds for a McFlurry.It says it's a bar and smokehouse. By bar, they actually means sports bar and I don't know what they mean by smokehouse. I don't believe they own their own smoker. I think that everything is bought in and some thing's possibly modified (such as the dips and glazes). But drenching everything in a sickly sweet BBQ sauce does not make a place a smokehouse. Also, they have a lot of Indian food on the menu, not even mentioned on their Facebook menu. If I wanted Indian food, I would have gone to an Indian restaurant and not a Smokehouse & Grill.This place is for you if:You like noisy, shouty environments.You don't mind waiting quite a long time for food.You like watching sports on 2 of 5 working TVs.You don't mind paying a premium for mediocre food, some of which was obviously frozen and likely bought in.You have low standards and like food that is laden with fat, salt and sugar.You don't mind paddling through urine when you use the men's toilet.You like places staffed by people in their late teens/early 20's.You don't plan on ordering anything more complex than a simple starter.You like fries in a bowl so they go soggy just like when you get them from a takeaway.You like not eating steak. Steak... Why hast thou forsaken me... :-(

This was my sons choice as it's very close to his home.Let me start with negative side.The place is cold inside and members of our party did feel this and commented.9 of is in the party and I believe maybe another 5 people eating and the food did take a long time to arrive well over an hour from ordering.On positive.The food when it arrived was very good and all enjoyed what they had.The staff were very good and at the end they brought out a cake desert with a sparkler firework which wasnt ordered but thought was a lovely gesture.Yes I would go again but feel the place is confused as to what it is.Lots of large screen tv showing sports so is it a sports bar or steak house ????

Just has a meal here for the first time , here’s my opinion ..The girl who served us ( Liv ) was nothing short of brilliant , she was polite , helpful if needed and most importantly for me didn’t hover around trying to do too much and left us to enjoy our food . The food was delicious and plentiful my wife had the half ribs and was stuffed , I had a burger and couldn’t finish it all which is a surprise for me !! My father in law had a 10oz rump steak now he is a very fussy eater and when he says something was nice it must be very good and he loved his steak !!! We had 3 main meals and 5 pints of lager and the bill came to just over £60 , which I think is very good for the quality and amount of food we had . We are definitely going to go back here and would recommend this place to anyone I’m sure they can cater for all needs and tastes .

The service here is terrible think she’s called Abbie (tall and blonde).Everything from start to finish seems like a massive effort for her. No conversation when trowing caddies onto the table or even giving you your food, no enjoy your meal and certainly no check backs. She makes the whole experience so awkward.I wouldn’t mind but this is the type of service you get when nobody else is in the building i dread to think what it’s like if its ever full.I seriously think this girl needs to consider getting a new career as this isn’t for her she’s more interested in sitting on her arse and playing on her phone than providing good service to customers.Safe to say I won’t be returning!

Popped in for a meal on Sunday evening with great expectations. Wow what a disappointment. Firstly loads of kids running around meaning we had to sit in the bar. Ended up been sat next too two loudmouth swearing thugs. Food was ok, chilli was poor but my steak was very good. Service average but it was by a bunch of kids who had no control of the restaurant.

Visited yesterday evening with our son to celebrate my husband's birthday, our first visit. The restaurant is very modern & nicely decorated, we chose to sit in the side dining room not the main bar room, if there were more of us it would have been good to have a booth. Since it happened to be a Wednesday they had a grill menu on, choices of steaks, gammon, fish & my husband's decision of spatchcock chicken with skinny fries, a sauce & salad for £11, good value. My son opted for chicken fajitas & I had a burger, coleslaw & upgraded to thick triple cooked chips. We all enjoyed our food, it was piping hot & tasty, my husband especially loved his chicken which was tender & plentiful. The waitress was efficient & friendly & the food came in good time. Overall we really enjoyed the birthday meal & would definitely recommend it.

Looking around it’s just young staff to which I was thinking great but they were so helpful and polite. The food was beautiful! The streak just fell apart I really can’t complain about a single thing the whole meal was beautiful and a very good potion size. Nice decor, only thing I would say needs improvement is at the moment they don’t have baby changing or disable toilets.

There was a deal in our local free mag, '2 naughty cows for £10', having never been and wantinf to go for a while we jumped at the offer. Hubby decided to upgrade his fries to dirty fries, which were delicious, the burgers were fab, topped with pulled beef, onion and cheese. We also had a side of 'burnt ends', having first tried theses in Toronto last year, and loving them, we decided to try the English version, hubby liked them more than me as I don't like fat and they were belly pork. They were tasty, but too fatty for me, not a problem for hubby though he loved them and polished them off! There was a 'Game of thrones' special menu which sounded lovely, but we were there for the offer, and we will def go back, having said that hubby picked the GOT special dessert which he loved, mint brownie and forrest fruit trifle I had the cheesecake, which was mini egg, the ice cream side was lovely and made on site, next time I may go for the trio of ice cream!

We turned up on a busy Saturday without booking and were told we had an hour wait which we were happy with but 20 minutes later we were seated. Large choice of food I had a bbq brisket starter which was very tender and the Peruvian chicken kebab which was delicious. My husband had Brie starter and a tomahawk pork steak. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were great. We have been before and know that they only book for tables over 8 everyone else is a walk-in so you do take a chance on the busier weekends. That is the only negative.

Getting attention of the bar man was annoyingly slow as he was too busy chatting the waitress up. The food came and it was nasty but as the cooks were messing about whooping I was not expecting much. Greasy onion rings and a burnt burger- mmm yummy!

Only living literally a 5 minute drive away: I can’t believe I haven’t visited this place before. Passed It a few times and then we actually decided to give it a whirl. My husband and I visited on this occasion for a Saturday lunch and OMG we were not disappointed. If anyone is like me and actually hates going somewhere new because you don’t want to look like an idiot when you walk in not knowing what the drill is. As soon as we walked in a lovely girl greeted us from the bar and did ask us if we were here for food or just drinks. Once we confirmed we wanted to eat she was more than happy to help us get settled in. So one minute in I was all chilled and comfortably sat and started to glance the menu. We went for the lunch time special a few options to choose from. We went for 3 small like dishes came with rice and salad. The husband had 3 other dishes with chips and salad. We then shared the 6 dishes. From Mac and cheese bites, chorizo, meatballs , bruschetta, wings and pulled pork. It was absolutely delicious. And a bargain price too. I didn’t drink on this occasion but there were plenty on offer and some really good deals. I do love a good cocktail so I did peruse what was avaible for next time. The staff were lovely, atmosphere was relaxed. Lovely hidden gem. Will most certainly be returning.

Visited for the first time with my partner - I got the 12oz New York strip steak. After a solid 5 mins of trying to carve through the steak I gave up. The combination of gristle and poor steak knife didn't go down very well. My partner had the Lion's Kill and one of the chicken breasts had a very strange texture. One was fine but the other just wasn't right. The staff came over and asked me if I wanted a replacement steak, which I didn't. They then asked if I wanted another to take away with me? Again I said no thank you. They then offered 25% off the bill which we took and left. The staff were very apologetic and polite at all times, but I'm not sure if we'd go back again. We were so disappointed as we were really looking forward to it. Nice decor and friendly staff.

We first ate here as a large party on scarecrow weekend and everyone enjoyed their food. Also been for tapas in the sun. Then a meal in the restaurant last night. All good food, good amount and a good price. The only quibble is you can’t book, which is hard as we arrived at 6.45 on a Friday and even then had to wait a while for a table. I think larger parties can book, but then the small dining room doesn’t have space for couples too. Hard to plan ahead to come with friends in case there isn’t room.

There are too many different menu’s on the table and without getting into great detail it wasn’t that easy to work out what was available for lunch , if it’s lunchtime just put the lunchtime menus out , simples .

We arrived early on a Saturday evening and were told there was a 20 minute wait for a table. This however turned into a 45 minute wait. I ordered the fillet steak, medium rare, my husband the bbq ribs. Well, when my steak arrived I couldn’t cut into it as it was so tough. I duly sent it back but instead of taking my full plate the waitress just took the steak. I then waited another 10 minutes for a fresh steak which was the plonked on my plate alongside my now cold fries. I couldn’t be bothered to return it so just ate the steak, which this time was nice. My husbands ribs were smothered in loads of bbq sauce, too much so he had to scrape it off and ended up leaving half the ribs. For the price not worth it at all!!! The only good thing wa# the bar and waiting staff. They were lovely x

I was taken to this bar by a friend... On entry it seems to by neither a bar, restaurant or public house.. To me it seemed to be struggling to find an identity. We were in the main bar area and where we sat was a very much like an American bar/diner... with an almost horse-shoe shaped seating area that would easily sit 8 or 9.. The trouble is that my party was just 2... Most of the other tables were not really appropriate for a relaxing sit-down meal.. most of the other tables were significantly raised with high seated buffets/stools... At one end of the room was a raised table that appeared for be reception or reservation, but this seemed to be stuck out like a sore thumb to me should not have been there... We went @ 16:45.. There were around 5-6 other diners. We ordered our meals and I Will only mention mine here.... The meal itself was presented very well - the only problem I have is that the number of bowls / jugs or other containers mime was served in hid the fact that the meal itself was small in portion.. I ordered Chicken skewer with lime rice. The Skewer was served on a small flatbread, and was served with a small bowl of line rice, A dipping sauce and a pouring sauce with a helping of salad mix.. I found that the salad mix was too spicy for me.. To be honest there was nothing about the meal that would deserve a full review - so all I can say is that there were just 5 small chicken pieces on the skewer,, I Left feeling less than full and feel that for this meal to be worth £12 there should have been 2 chicken skewers.. I Hope you agree with me when you see the picture of the meal that if you were to have the meal served without the additional dishes and bowls, that the whole lot would fit on a very small plate... NB For info my friend had steak which cost a couple of pounds more and like me he felt it was not good value for money... To me the venue had a very poor atmosphere and I would not go again...

Had a good evening at 22 Bar and Smokehouse. Whilst it was a little quieter than we expected, it looks like you could have a great evening over the weekend - it looks great and the the staff were also great.

I love the tapas dishes here, the sweet potato fries with goats cheese are amazingggg!! Really good atmosphere, always busy, make sure you turn up early on a weekend for a table, there can be quite a long wait time but I would highly recommend!

We arrived around 6:15 on a Saturday evening and was told wait was 30 minutes (you can’t book unless it’s a group of 8 or more) but that was fine and we enjoyed a few drinks in the bar. We got seated after 45 minutes but you could already tell people were getting annoyed at the wait in the bar area.

This establishment has a wonderful menu and their Tomahawk steak is to die for. However I went with two friends this evening to the launch of their Mexican night menu.

I know this place does not accept bookings unless it is 8 or more, so we got there early at 6pm the restaurant was already busy but we managed to get a table immediately, if the previous reviewer could not get a table for 90mins it just shows how popular the place is becoming

Came here for the first time last night with my partner and her family (8 of us) and we sat down at 7.45...it took 20 mins for someone to take our order and it was approx 30-40 mins before we had the food, so an hour from sitting to eating. The food when it came was really nice (I had the new York strip steak which was cooked perfectly! And my partner had the chargrilled chicken burger which she enjoyed) I also had a knickerbocker glory for dessert which was nice also

Normally only stay at a meal for a couple of hours but the atmosphere was that good we stayed till at least 11pm. The staff were really friendly. A few times I had a laugh with the guys at the bar. The food spot on and the Cocktails great too.

Very friendly staff and even better food. The beer was great and looks like they have a really well-stocked bar. We'll definitely come back again. I've even planned to have my birthday meal here.

Food here was absolutely amazing, had pulled pork nacho bites for starter which was lovely. Main was the smokehouse platter which is a mountain of delicious well cooked meat. Service was brilliant and will be back again

We visited on a Friday around 3pm, we were blown away by the standard given it was pub food, freshly cooked and very good - a bit like Reds but cheaper and nearer - the churros were freshly cooked and delicious - we all left will full bellies and wide smiles - we will be back again and again thank you

22 Smokehouse is very close to where we live, and whilst we’ve been a few times for drinks, we’ve never had the opportunity to eat there. The menu is very comprehensive - obviously all US diner type food, but it took everyone a good while to decide. The waitress very patient that we’d failed to decide on a couple of visits to the table.
