Pappy's Texas Barbeque

Pappy's Texas Barbeque Smoked meat, the Texas way. Our 3rd generation Texan pitmaster keeping the tradition alive in Kendal.
(2)

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.

There’s nothing quite like sitting outside with a rack of our low & slow smoked baby back ribs on a sunny day.

Seasoned with our signature dry rub, smoked and finished to perfection. It’s the kind of BBQ you’ll be thinking about long after you’ve left.

If you’re planning a Lake District trip this summer, make sure you add Pappy’s to your list. We’re only a small smokehouse, so we’d always recommend booking ahead especially when the sun’s out!

Who’s sharing a rack… and who’s ordering one all to themselves?

Sunshine, fresh air, and proper Texas BBQ… there’s not much better.

Our brisket is what we’re famous for, smoked low and slow until it’s packed with flavour. If you’re visiting the Lakes this summer, make sure Pappy’s is on your list.

We’re only a small smokehouse, so we’d always recommend booking ahead especially on sunny weekends, as we do fill up quickly!

If you’ve seen us on your feed before, there’s a reason. Come and find out what all the fuss is about.

You asked, our Pitmaster answered.

From what to order on your first visit to what really goes on inside the smokehouse, Robin is answering your BBQ questions one by one.

Disclaimer: Health & Safety definitely didn’t approve the knife-on-a-stick microphone… or the walking backwards!

A little walk through what’s smoking at Pappy’s today.

Baby backs on the smoker, pork shoulders cooking low and slow ready to be pulled, and the fire pit doing what it does best out the back.

This is the bit people don’t always see.

The prep, the smoke, the time and the patience before anything ever hits the plate.

Proper Texas BBQ, right here in Kendal.

What would you order first?

Some say this is the best brisket in the UK…

We’ll let you decide.

18 hours low and slow over oak, wrapped in butcher paper, rested properly and sliced fresh at Pappy’s.

Robin talks through the fatty end, the lean end, the bark, the pull and what we look for when a brisket comes off the pit.

Proper Texas brisket, right here in Kendal.
