About This Pub
Ah, The Smoking Bull – what a gem in Attleborough! From the reviews, it's clear this place really shines with its food; think juicy ribs that fall off the bone and burgers packed with flavour, all served with generous sides that leave you satisfied. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that cosy, quirky atmosphere that's just right for catching up with friends. On the downside, a few have noted the menu doesn't offer loads of options, so if you're in the mood for something beyond the smoky specials, you might find it a tad restrictive, especially during lunch. Still, with such high praise and a buzzing crowd, it's got that winning feel – I'd say it's well worth popping in if you're nearby, just maybe book ahead to avoid any waits. All in all, it's a solid spot that gets the balance of good grub and good times spot on.

Top food, atmosphere and service. Massive portions. Home made sauces are amazing.Highly recommend.
Nice touch is the female friendly restrooms with everything a girl would need.
Wow! If you are a meat lover, you have found your Mecca! We went on a Saturday, and we had the beef rib and baby back rack of ribs from the smoker. Both were meltingly soft and absolutely delicious. All served with seasoned fries and chunky coleslaw. We were told that they have a different menu for each day of the week they are open. They also do breakfast and lunch. Definitely go, you won't regret it!
Really quirky place, owners and staff really friendly. I’d say probably the best place to eat in the area. I had the sloppy Joe and my mate the Nashville Chicken burgers. Both excellent. Packed so go early, we just turned up but the owner asked the kitchen and said if you hang on for 30 minutes they would fit us in. Great garden area and highly recommend their home made sauces!
The food was really nice.
In my opinion, I felt like the menu was a bit limited. I was expecting more. I don't know if they have different menus for lunch, evenings and weekends. We went there for lunch on a Thursday. I was expecting to see more variety like ribs, starters, and meat platters.
The service was a little bit slow and we had to go to the bar a few times to order more drinks as they didn't come to check on us.
Had the Beijing burger and the mixed side (chips, onion rings and cheese and chili bites). Absolutely delicious. The burger had thick fried chicken that was crispy but juicy. Fries were well seasoned. Would definitely go back if we lived nearer or are in the area again!
