The Smiddy can be closed but you can get still some insane barbacoa on Leith walk from this lovely chap. Fully toddler and mummy approved and the hot sauce is popping. Happy

We OK.

Thanks to the hundreds of you who have slid into our DMs with good vibes and messages of support. It's been awesome to hear how much our little barbecue joint means to you all.

We are busily working away on a plan for an all new business which can build on

the lessons learned at Dunedin street. Stay tuned.

In the meantime a lot of you have have asked how you can help...

One thing we need urgently is a potential new site which we can wrap our new plans around and use to make cost projections etc

Do you know any 60 plus seater restaurants that are coming up soon? Do you own a brewery that has space for an epic barbecue joint? Does your eccentric Granny own a massive pub and want to retire?

Any and all suggestions welcome. If you help us find our forever home, barbecue and bourbon shall be your reward 🪄

Hello loyal Smiddites and sorry for the lack of information since we closed. It's been a difficult time.

The last few weeks have passed in a a blur of phone calls and frantic meetings. Thankyou to everyone who has given their time to trying to help us get back open (I am looking at you and you ) not to mention the always epic . Special thanks also need to go to Kidd & Co (the best landlords and catering suppliers in town) Andrew, Davey and our epic butchers

Sadly we have come to the realisation that we cannot keep trading as we had. A combination of our lack of indoor seating and issues relating to the age of our HQ building have made us face the fact that the company cannot continue without investment. We considered crowdfunding, but it didn't seem fair in the current climate. As such we have been forced to close the doors and put out the fires.

My obsession with bringing authentic Texan style barbecue to Scotland is as strong as ever and we are currently talking to investors and restaurant operators with a view to getting a bigger, badder Smiddy back up and running. In the meantime, thank you to all the staff, suppliers and customers who made the Smiddy what it is. It's hard to express now how much your passion for our barbecue meant to myself and the team. Genuinely all that kept us going on the long smokes was your feedback and encouragement. There wouldn't have been a Smiddy without all you barbecue loving loons.

In the meantime I will be keeping my hand in on the butchery front working with If you need the raw ingredients for barbecue (or a Turkey) come say hi.

It was the hardest yet most rewarding thing I have ever done to cook Q for you all and I hope one day we do it again.

Until then, stay classy Edinburgh & all hail The Smiddy!

Love,

Cameron & The Smiddy Pitcrew x
