The venue specialises in smoked meats and will be keeping a lot of the most popular dishes on the menu. 

The Smoke House has several customers from the local army bases, with customers likening the food to that made by their family in the USA.

However, Mr Kendall said that this January the pub would also be launching rotisserie chicken dishes and a range of new small plates.

The pub specialises in smoked meats which will remain on the menu (Image: The Smoke House) There will be added fresh dessert options and milkshakes too.

"We are raring to go with the new menu."

The pub will be back with a bang with plans to host several events in the coming weeks and months.

Live musicians are booked for Valentine's Day and the pub has already announced a meal deal for the duration of the Six Nations Rugby tournament.
