Welcome All to The Smokehouse!
The workhorse of the new Compton Abbas Airfield restaurant; The Smokehouse is our J&R Oyler Smoker. The first of its kind in the UK and only the second in Europe. J&R’s Smokers are forged in the barbecue heartlands of Texas, and we have flown one in to bring that experience to Compton Abbas Airfield. So come and join us for our signature eight-hour smoked pulled beef and a refreshing pint of your choice!

And you can’t get more local than Compton Abbas itself! Introducing Altitude; a locally supplied lager, with a label designed in-house to celebrate our aviation roots.
Take-away Gritchie cans and bottles still available from the bar, while stocks last!
