Feast and the Furious is located at The Stockyard in Melton Mowbray. This family-run smokehouse combines a BBQ restaurant, shop and working smokery under one roof. On Friday and Saturday evenings, go for generous plates of smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, burgers or smoked halloumi, with comfort sides like skin-on fries. Pair it with a beer from Round Corner Brewing opposite.
The meat is locally sourced, and everything is prepared with care and attention.
The team smoke in small batches over different woods to build bold flavours. Expect a few surprises too, from smoked chocolate and smoked almonds to smoked feta and even smoked pork pies.
The shop is worth a browse for their rubs and sauces, including the punchy Furious Sauce, plus award-winning smoked Stilton and other smoky treats to take home.
You’ll find an easy-going atmosphere, friendly service and that inviting smell of smoke as soon as you walk in. Portions feel generous and prices feel fair. Beyond the restaurant, their food truck, online shop, farmers’ market and festival appearances and wholesale supply spread the word well beyond Melton.
