The Smoking Bull: Nuneaton’s Culinary Hotspot Turning Passion into Perfection
The Smoking Bull in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, is fast becoming the go-to place for meat lovers. Having honed and perfected the distinct meat smoking techniques through lockdown, the ‘Smoke Bloke,’ as he’s affectionately known, has developed and grown a pastime into a passion and, ultimately, a thriving business that is already making headlines with massive acclamations.

What’s on the menu…
Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, with weekly sell-out burger and steak nights, there’s something for the whole family, whether you prefer plain but delicious or something with extra heat – and we don’t mean temperature-wise. Not a fan of meat? Not to worry. With vegetarian dishes as exquisite as the meats, you’ll not miss out.
It’s not only the signature meat dishes that draw in the crowds. The Smoking Bull shows mastery when it comes to flavour combinations in all areas of the menu. The delicious house sauces (we’ve asked for the secret recipe!) and unique garnishes—(who knew that a Chinese-style sauce on cauliflower could be a taste sensation!) elevate the menu, offering something distinct from other meat restaurants.
All ingredients used are of the highest quality and fresh, sourced from suppliers hand-chosen personally by the ‘Smoke Bloke’. The care taken during the preparation of the menu and this attention to detail really show through in the finished dishes. The steaks from Kettyle Irish Foods are exceptional, with one guest, a patron of many Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide, firmly stating that his steak was one of the best steaks he’d ever had the joy of eating.
The heart of the business…
Alongside the passion for food that is evident, family is also at the heart of this business. With two brothers and their respective families both playing huge parts in the cooking, serving and day-to-day running of the business, the overall experience leaves you feeling that you’re also a part of the family, with the Smoke Bloke himself very present within the dining area, when he’s not busy on his next creation.
Creating the perfect setting…
The surroundings are modern with personalised artwork creating a space that is relaxed and inviting. The team are a great asset and really add to the atmosphere. They’re always happy to talk through the menu and offer suggestions when you’re struggling to choose, because you want to try everything.
Planning for growth…
With the plans drawn up and expansion of the building in progress, set to include a dedicated room for smoking meats and to increase seating capacity, alongside the refurbishment of the existing kitchen with the help of FFD Catering Equipment, you are left in no doubt that this is a place that’s only going to get better and better.
If you’re planning a visit to the area, and are looking for somewhere exceptional to eat, then The Smoking Bull is a must-visit destination; but be aware, it’s very popular and booking early is strongly advised. See more from The Smoking Bull on Facebook.
