From this Friday 6 November, Smokestak, the East London barbecue restaurant from chef and founder David Carter, will launch a new weekend takeaway and delivery service following the government’s announcement regarding the closure of hospitality.
Barbecue aficionados can order a Smokestak fix directly to their door if they live within a 2 mile radius of the restaurant’s Sclater Street home, or pre-order and pick up from the restaurant if they’re further afield.
All meat has been carefully sourced from long-standing suppliers Philip Warren Butchers, before being gently smoked over kiln-dried English oak for up to 15 hours in David’s Ole Hickory wood-fired smoker imported from the barbecue heartland of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
For a full feast, diners can kick things off with crispy pigtails; smoked cod roe and potato skins; crispy ox cheek with anchovy mayo; salt baked beetroot, goat cheese and hazelnut; black fig, rocket, feta with shaved walnut; as well as new autumnal dishes such as mushrooms on toast with beef dripping gravy.
For the main event, fans of Smokestak’s cult favourite buns can order theirs stuffed with native breed pulled pork with ginger slaw; point-end beef brisket with pickled chilli; and smoked pastrami with mustard and dill.
On the side, there are barbecue classics such as skin-on chips with aioli; smoked pit beans; and a jacket potato with mustard rarebit. To finish with something sweet, David will be boxing up his signature sticky toffee pudding with clotted ice cream and plum crumble with custard.
For those outside London, Smokestak at Home will continue to deliver its signature smoked meats and DIY bun kits, with Christmas specials such as whole smoked turkey; treacle cured smoked gammon; and whole smoked Goosnargh duck, available from December.
All meat has been gently smoked being chilled and vacuum-packed for dispatch nationwide in a thermally insulated and recyclable box. Reheat and assembly instructions are included in each box which can then be enjoyed at leisure.
