Smoke Ashburton

Nestled in the picturesque Canterbury township, Smoke Ashburton captivates with its authentic American barbecue experience.

Their pit crew's mastery of low and slow smoking techniques infuses each dish with an irresistible allure. Secret marinades and rubs tantalise the taste buds while their well-versed pit crew smokes the meats to perfection.

Smoke Ashburton's menu caters to discerning palates with diverse small plates. Tex-Mex nachos adorned with queso dip and guacamole, buffalo wings, and smoked fried chicken bathed in Alabama BBQ sauce ignite the senses.

Moving on to the main courses, honey bourbon salmon paired with grilled garlic and rosemary roast potatoes offers a delicate balance of flavours. A roasted vegetable salad provides a refreshing contrast. Experience a range of gourmet burgers, from the indulgent mac daddy burger featuring fried mac 'n' cheese and a slice of smoked brisket to the zesty buffalo chicken burger. Alternatively, treat yourself to a delicious prime ribeye crafted by the Smoke Butchery.

The true stars of the show are the Low and Slow-Smoked Platters. Tender brisket, pulled pork, and ribs that fall effortlessly off the bone promise an unforgettable culinary adventure. This is a meat-lovers paradise, accompanied by a generous selection of sharing plates, including southern fried chicken, pork belly burnt ends, and buffalo chicken wings.

And to compliment enjoy the diverse array of cocktails and craft beers from Canterbury showcased at the bar.
