Country Roads Smokeshack

Slow-smoked food with a bit more presence.

Country Roads Smokeshack is the live-fire arm of Country Roads Catering. You can book it in two ways: full on-site smoked BBQ catering with our team, or smoker hire with delivery and collection. It is built for private parties, venues, festivals, and hospitality-led occasions that want proper smoke, visible cooking, and a more relaxed service style.
