Pappy's Texas Barbeque

Pappy's Texas Barbeque Smoked meat, the Texas way. Our 3rd generation Texan pitmaster keeping the tradition alive in Kendal.
(1)

Using secret recipes, traditional techniques and tender loving care to create a peppery outer bark and delicate pink smoke ring with a tender and succulent flavour like no other. We will give you the full-on Texan experience by Robin (born and raised in Texas!), and family, in memory of dad, ‘Pappy’ and his award winning BBQ . Or for your corporate dining, or wedding, try our more traditional me

nus, still with the flavour-popping meat as the main event. We pride ourselves on our 24 hour smoke process, done within the walls of our lovingly restored Kendal Smokehouse.

You don’t get brisket like this quickly.

18 hours low and slow over oak, smoked the Texan way and sliced fresh at Pappy’s.

Worth the wait?

Your Lake District food plans just changed.

Hidden in Kendal, we’re smoking proper Texas BBQ low and slow over oak.

Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausages, chicken thighs and all the good stuff straight from the pits.

If you’re heading to the Lakes this summer, add Pappy’s to the list.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make FUME London happen.

From the team grafting through a long weekend at FUME, to the team holding everything together back at the Smokehouse in Kendal, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Four days of smoke, prep, service, sunshine, long shifts, laughs and a lot of proper BBQ.

It was a brilliant weekend and one we’re very proud to have been part of.

Thank you to FUME for having us, to everyone who came to see us and to every member of the Pappy’s team who put the work in behind the scenes and on the front line.

Behind every plate was smoke, graft and a team we’re proud of.

Our most underrated meat on the smoker…

Brisket might get most of the attention, but anyone who knows Pappy’s knows these oak smoked chicken thighs deserve a mention too.

Smoked low and slow over oak and finished with our family dry rub that’s been part of our Texas BBQ tradition for generations.

We’re serving them all weekend at FUME London, but if you can’t make it down to Twickenham don’t worry… they’re on the menu at our Smokehouse in Kendal too.

Have you tried them yet?

Robin grew up around smoke pits BBQ competitions and family cookouts in Texas with her dad “Pappy”.

Years later and thousands of briskets on the smokers she reckons she’s probably smoked more brisket than he ever did.

But every early morning fire every brisket and every hour spent around the pits still goes back to where it all started.

3 generations. One family. Low and slow over oak right here in the Lake District.

How many briskets do you reckon we’ve smoked over the years? 👇

Game on. We loved the response and awards at FUME Manchester last year but now it’s time to bring three generations of Texan pitmaster tradition to the UK’s biggest BBQ stage at Allianz stadium, Twickenham.

So yes… the UK’s biggest BBQ festival is getting three generations of Texan pitmaster tradition 🇺🇸🔥

📍 FUME Festival London
📅 11th–14th June

🔥 18 hour brisket bite
🔥 Hot damn dog Texas hotlink
🔥 Hot BBQ honey baby back ribs

30,000 people. Smoke in the air. Real Texas BBQ.
