SMOKEY T CHARACTER_VECTOR (2)-01.png

Smokey T's Barbecue joint has become one of the most popular new upbeat restaurants in Christchurch city, selling out most days since opening a permanent outlet down Cashel St.

Owner/Pitmaster Tristin Anderson is a former executive chef, who managed 32 chefs across several Christchurch restaurants, who says he’s been grabbed by a "smoke addiction”. Anderson serves premium 10 hour smoked brisket, 6 hour smoked pork belly, and 2 hour smoked jerk chicken; in tacos, burgers and platters as well as classic ribs and delicious sides.

Smokey T’s won 'breakthrough talent' and ‘Pop up establishment’ in 2018, just two months after setting up, then running away with 2019 & 2020 People’s Choice at the Christchurch hospitality awards.
