Fresh out of the smoker: New dishes coming 14th October

Our new menu is landing on the 14th October and it’s still everything you come to Blockhouse for

We still have 12-hour smoked brisket, smashed patties and plenty that’s been kissed by the flames. We’ve just added a few more reasons to pull up a chair.

Small plates: any 3 for £18

Small plates have always been the easiest way to try a bit of everything, so we’ve given the line-up a bit of a shake-up. They’re small, but they pack a flavour punch.

Small plates have always been the easiest way to try a bit of everything, so we’ve given the line-up a proper shake-up. They’re small, but they pack a flavour punch.

New to the line-up is the Chicken Waffle Scotch Egg, served with buttermilk ranch, chilli salt and pickles, alongside Smoky Brisket Chilli Loaded Potato Skins topped with mozzarella, with sour cream and BBQ dip on the side. For something a little lighter, the Chargrilled Halloumi & Smoked Peach comes with a hot honey ranch dressing. Our Crispy Fried Beef Strips in sweet and spicy bang bang have also joined the small plates, and so has our Mac N’ Cheese with crispy onions.

They sit alongside favourites like the Panko Mozzarella Sticks, Bang Bang Japanese Fried Cauliflower and BBQ Chilli King Prawn Skewers, so picking just three got a lot harder. Share them as a starter, or make a meal of them at the bar.

New Blockhouse classics

Some things are perfect as they are, but that hasn’t stopped us adding to the collection.

Leading the new arrivals is our Mushroom & Ale Pie, with rich vegan gravy, crushed peas and skin-on fries: proper comfort food, and completely plant-based. The BBQ King Prawn Paella brings together king prawns, smoky chorizo and roasted red peppers with chilli-spiced rice, finished with a fried hen’s egg and a wedge of lemon. And our Crispy Panko Chicken Caesar piles crispy panko chicken, a soft-boiled hen’s egg and maple bacon onto baby gem, with focaccia crumb and Caesar dressing.

Our Sizzling Cajun Fajitas now come with steak as well as chicken or king prawn. And yes, you can still pair them with a margarita.

The Barbecue Tray for one

Can’t decide? You don’t have to. The new Barbecue Tray For One puts the best of the smoker on a single tray: salt & pepper brisket, burnt ends, mustard & apple glazed pork belly, a Cheddar and jalapeño sausage and a maple BBQ chicken skewer, with a brisket chilli loaded potato skin and a Caesar salad on the side. It’s the whole Blockhouse barbecue experience in one order, with no sharing required.

Buthers Block: Our new sharer

Sharing is caring, or treat yourself: we won’t tell. The Butcher’s Block is our new centrepiece for the table, piled high with 12-hour smoked salt & pepper brisket, burnt ends and a Blockhouse burger. Smoked chicken wings with buffalo sauce and blue cheese ranch, chargrilled maple BBQ chicken skewers, mixed pickles and skin-on fries round it off. Bring your friends, or your appetite. Ideally both.

Come and try it
