Smokehouse Railway Street

We visited this smokehouse due to the reviews whilst in the area on holiday, and were not disappointed! There are only 4 tables, so we booked via their Facebook page, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had the biggest platter on the menu so we could sample as much as possible, and everything was absolutely gorgeous. We felt it was excellent value for money and really good quality. The platter was huge so we couldn’t finish it all, but they gave us boxes to bring the rest home and it’s all finished now. Special little family run place that is definitely worth a visit. It’s quirky, different, independent and fantastic quality. We managed to park right outside too.

We have just moved to bishop auckland from Oxford and my gosh did we get a 10 out of 10 experience, the service was second to none, the food and the plates were huge, well worth every penny, definitely a best pick for a first night out in Bishop Auckland We absolutely loved that how family run it is, and that the owners son ran that kitchen and were still doing collage and uni, and the owners work there business around there children's education, shows a lot about a business and family, Again great food, beautiful little quirky restaurant and not massive so not loads of noice of hearing peoples voices (maybe just ours because we are loud lol)

We went with our kids (7 and 9). It is small but quirky inside. Loved that it was laid back. No kids menu but sharing platter was even better as it made them try so much they haven't before!!!! My girls walked out now loving chicken wings, burnt ends, real onion rings and frickles. All the food was hot, delicious and sticky. Couldnt pick a favourite out of brisket, belly or burnt ends. Can't wait to come back to try others on menu. Lady serving was also very helpful and friendly to us first timers here. Would highly recommend and will definitely come again next time we are in the area.

The food was really tasty we had a sharing platter, which offered a range of choices. The belly pork pieces were divine. The smoked sausage was tasty (shame you only get one! . There were sides too, so the whole thing was a really good meal. And you get a takeaway box if you want any leftovers later on! The service was excellent the lady (owner I think was really pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is a relaxed environment, pretty small with bench seating, and has lots of quirky steam railway memorabilia around the walls. Overall a fun place to eat especially for meat lovers!

Only 4 tables so booking recommended. Located off Newgate St down an industrial road, opposite the Hippodrome Bingo. Don 't be put off by the location or the shack like building it 's full of historical memorabilia from Shildon Shop is very clean inside. Came here for an early dinner before going to the Kynren, would visit again. 4.5 stars, only drops a half for price, but everywhere 's expensive these days. Give it a try!

Very very tasty selection of cooked meat ... scrummy selection of lots of different delicious smoked pork, beef and spicey ribs... served with chips and onion rings but the side dish choice was quite extensive.. cant wait to try try the burgers and loaded fries... cant wait to return. Nice surroundings lovely friendly staff, decent beer. Excellent value for money.

Delicious true BBQ a rarity and worth traveling for! Found this quirky, local gem while visiting the area. Warm welcome, well considered menu and tasty offerings. So good to see the next generation of the family in the kitchen and when they served, they did so with grace. Shame we don't have something like this near to where we live!

Really enjoyed the food. We had a platter to share. Pulled pork was tasty, as was the brisket. Burnt ends slightly tougher than expected and not so crispy. Everything was tasty though and cannot wait to go back. Reserva una mesa ahora

We live in Bishop Auckland and didn’t realise this place existed. A small quirky place to eat but very friendly, very nice and different. A lovely local business with good food. Would highly recommend.
