This place was fantastic I couldn't recommend more!! The service was incredible, super fast and efficient, and food blew me away with how delicious it was. Had Lana greet us at the door and immediately felt so welcomed and invited and Ciara was our server who treated us with such kindness. Highly recommend the unique barbecue grill, the flavours were just outstanding. Truley lovely place :)

The food was amazing, they offer a good selection for younger diners, and the portions do not disappoint (definitely recommend the beetroot dip and brisket spaghetti bolognaise) The staff are so lovely, polite, and attentive. The restaurant was immaculate and I would thoroughly recommend

First time experience at this new restaurant in Chelmsford. Our server Julia was a star and very helpful and polite. A credit to the restaurant.

The service was nothing short of impeccable from the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant. We had mixed feelings about this place due to the reviews but the food was unbelievable and our training server Imogen did a wonderful job with attending to all of our needs. We will definitely be back!!

Great place for lunch.
The menu is confusing we thought it was £25 for one item and a starter but we shared one meal between three and it was enough and left room for desert.
Clara was very attentive and made sure we were ok at all times. Highly recommend a visit. Great for a new restaurant. Thank you will definitely revisit.

We visited Smoke and Dough as a large group of 14 and were really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, it was a big letdown. While the front of house staff were very friendly, the overall service setup was confusing ? we were served by multiple people, including what seemed like kitchen staff who didn?t seem entirely fresh after spending time back-of-house.
The food was extremely poor. The brisket was tough and dry ? like chewing leather. The steak and lamb chop also seemed old and unappetising. All the sides came out lukewarm, with some arriving when the meal was almost over, no one in our group had a good meal.
There were also no non-alcoholic beer or gin options available, which is disappointing in this day and age. To top it off, there was no WiFi, which didn?t go down well with the kids.
It?s a real shame because the place has potential, but sadly, the food let it down in a big way. The restaurant could really benefit from a masterclass in how to cook proper slow and low BBQ.

I had the Unique Grill and it was absolutely outstanding! The lamb was perfectly cooked?tender, juicy, and full of flavour. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible service from Amy. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Her knowledge of the menu and genuine hospitality took everything to the next level. I?ll definitely be coming back?and recommending this place to everyone I know!
