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 pint of Gritchie beer (while stocks last).
View our Breakfast Menu here, and Lunch Menu here. Booking a table is advised.

Beer as it should be
Two of Gritchie’s main ingredients are truly homegrown, the Maris Otter malt barley that they harvest from their fields and the local water sourced beneath the ground of their land.
Gritchie’s specially-selected hops, blended with classic varieties and new breeds help to shape each of their beer’s flavours, making them well-rounded and sessionable.
