Saint Smokey’s BBQ, Canterbury
This wonderfully authentic and tasty treat of a
restaurant has been opened by a father and son
team who understand exactly how a good
barbecue should be put together. Here they share
family recipes from the Caribbean that dates
back for at least four generations. And you’ll feel
like one of the family here – it’s a friendly, buzzing
place to eat.

Stanny’s Smokehouse, Rochester
The people in the know behind Stanny’s have
travelled all across the American south and midwest, including Memphis, Kansas, New Orleans
and Texas. They brought the secret of a great
barbecue back with them – it’s all about the
hickory. And now they want to share their
discovery back at home; which is great news
for us!

Meat American BBQ, Margate
Meat American BBQ is one of the most aptly
named restaurants around. It serves meat,
barbecued the American way with plenty of chilli
and traditional barbecue sauce too. Some of
the rather unique (and lovely sounding)
delicacies include a mac and cheese lollipop with
barbecue sauce!

The Burger Brothers,
Canterbury, Dover & Deal
Started by Karl Wozny who not only wanted his
customer to taste the delicacies that he had when
in New York, but who always wanted (and wants)
them to feel like family, The Burger Brothers may
have started in a ‘shack’ in a pub garden in Deal,
but it has grown substantially since.

Googies, Folkestone
Winner of the Taste of Kent Awards Kent
Restaurant of the Year 2016, Googies has a lot
to offer – and that includes a large selection of
smoked food. In fact, the techniques used to
create the wonderful dishes on offer is called ‘hot
smoked’, which is an entirely different type of
BBQ, and utterly delicious.

Ques Smokehouse, Ashford
This traditional steakhouse with a twist began life
eight years before it actually existed – just like
the food served here, it took a long time to get
it just right. But it’s now an incredible place to
enjoy some real barbecue food served exactly
as you want it.

NEW EXECUTIVE CHEF JOINS SUCCESSFUL TEAM AT
THE BULL IN WROTHAM
The Bull in Wrotham has announced the appointment of
new Executive Chef Adam Turley. Adam has worked under
Michelin star chefs Michel Roux Snr and Alain Roux at the
renowned Waterside Inn and now joins the team at The Bull
at an exciting time of development.
The Bull has developed a well-deserved reputation
for excellence in food and resident head chef
James Hawkes has built a loyal customer base
with first-rate dishes demonstrating a dedication
to quality and flavour.
Owner of The Bull, Martin Deadman said:
“We have successfully combined our awardwinning à la carte menu with our very popular
authentic smokehouse bar menu, and now we
have increasingly high demand from our
customers for parties, weddings and outside
catering. We are building on this success and
are delighted to welcome Adam to our growing
team.”
Classically trained, Adam began his career
working under Mark Flanagan (now personal chef

Inn. He has spent the past 10 years as head chef
at fine dining restaurant Bluebells, near Ascot,
and is now looking forward to leading the team
at The Bull in the historic village of Wrotham: “I
grew up in Kent, my parents owned pubs in
Sevenoaks so I know the area really well and I
just love the feeling of being in a pub.”
Adam will be working with Martin and the
team of chefs to develop new dishes using
carefully sourced, seasonal, local ingredients and
classic flavour combinations. The first new dish
to make it to the menu is a delicious and refreshing
