American-Italian restaurant, Smoke & Dough, is celebrating the launch of its debut UK location at Liverpool ONE, part of the private international property company, Grosvenor Group.

The new 7,000 sq ft site is situated on The Terrace, joining the destination’s diverse restaurant line-up.

Founded by chef Deepak Bahuguna and Sachin Bajpai, the interactive BBQ concept offers customers fine meats which are grilled to customer preference on lava coal pits situated at each table, before being served directly to their plate.

Chef Deepak Bahuguna of Smoke & Dough commented: “We’re thoroughly excited to have opened our first location in the thriving Liverpool ONE, especially as part of the established dining hub of The Terrace. This is an exciting new endeavour for us as we introduce our menu and concept to the UK market, and we are pleased to have the Liverpool ONE’s momentum propelling us.”
