Discover the perfect shopping break at Smoke & Dough in the heart of Liverpool ONE

There’s nothing like a midweek shopping trip to track down the best bargains and avoid the weekend crowds.

But the one thing you won’t want to avoid is the chance to stop for lunch and refuel – well scouring those stores takes tons of energy! – and catch up on all the latest gossip with your shopping mate. There’s nowhere better to do that than at Smoke & Dough.

It’s bang in the middle of the city centre and close to all those top names in Liverpool ONE, and you’re guaranteed great food and drink that’ll keep you going until they turn the shop lights off (that’s if, of course, you ever want to leave).

Eating at the BBQ bottomless restaurant is an event in itself, promising a brilliant BBQ experience and a journey through a mouth-watering array of courses.

For Smoke, think beefed-up and a plant-based burger option, chicken, stuffed mushrooms and marinated meats cooked to perfection on the grill, and there’s even pizzas.

Suddenly finding the ideal outfit for your cousin’s wedding seems less important, eh?!

Your Smoke & Dough culinary journey begins with a first course of garlic brioche and focaccia with plenty of dips.

And, once you’re ready for the next course, your waiter brings the BBQ to you, with a selection of mouth-watering meats and skewers ready to grill at your table on your own lava coal pit. And don’t worry if you fancy more, because all you need to do is ask and they’ll bring you more top cuts of meat at no extra charge.

There’s a fixed bottomless feast – a steal at £16 Monday to Friday – but if you want to create your own fabulous feast, then it’s the a la carte menu you want to go for.

The delicious choices include Brisket of Beef marinated in a special rub and slowed cooked in a smoker overnight, Smoked Baby Pork Ribs in a tangy homemade sauce, or Vegan Cheese grilled to golden crust and served with a bed of beet and a pomegranate reduction, all served with chips and salad … and there’s a shedload of sides from fried halloumi, to corn on the cob and the creamiest mashed potato.

Not forgetting that if you’d prefer a pizza you can choose from a variety of meat or veggie toppings!

If you’ve got any room left, you can indulge in a delicious dessert too – we reckon maybe the rich Chocolate Fondant or, for a lighter option, the Blackcurrant Mousse? – or why not raise a glass to any fabulous fashion finds with a glass of wine or a gorgeous gin, or one of Smoke & Dough’s cracking cocktails – perhaps the Smoke & Dough Bramble with gin, raspberry jam and homemade sweet and sour over crushed ice, or the Smokey Dough Cocktail, a blend of bourbon and Southern Comfort with lime and sugar, served with a smoke.

Smoke & Dough offer up the perfect summer terrace overlooking Liverpool ONE, they’re introducing a fantastic selection of refreshing summer cocktails and an exciting a special promotion of two for one. Some classic favourites, such as the Woo Woo, Sex on the Beach, and Blue Lagoon to really get you in the summer mood.

Whatever you decide it’ll signal success for your midweek trip, and whether you fill your bags and get that belt, blouse or shirt that’s on your shopping list, there’ll be a big tick next to ‘treat yourself to a lovely lunch’.
