Bringing the BBQ to you: Smoke Inc

Smoking hot functions and off-site catering are no problem when you have a mobile smoker on site to feed the troops.

Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, corporate event or family celebration, Smoke is making it easier than ever to enjoy authentic low-and-slow barbecue wherever the party is.

What started as a small barbecue operation behind an Ashburton restaurant in 2019 has grown into two standalone Smoke restaurants, a private dining room and lounge called Smoulder, and now a mobile smoker available for hire.

“We’ve always loved bringing people together over great barbecue, and now we can take that experience directly to our customers,” says owner Vanetia Bingham.

“Our mobile smoker lets us cook fresh onsite, or we can deliver everything hot and ready to serve if that’s a better fit.”

Smoke caters for gatherings of all sizes, with menu options including 12-hour smoked brisket, eight-hour smoked lamb shoulder, pork belly, grazing tables, cocktail food and buffet-style feasts. Customers can choose from drop-and-leave catering, buffet service or full table service to suit their budget and event.

“Our goal is to make hosting as easy as possible,” Vanetia says. “Whether you want the theatre of the smoker cooking at your venue or simply delicious food delivered piping hot, we’ll work with you to create a menu that’s perfect for your celebration.

We’re already taking bookings for the end of the year.”
