Something smoky is coming to the Fox Connaught on the 27th of June

Something smoky is coming to the Fox Connaught on the 27th of June

There's a new reason to head to this iconic Docklands tavern on a Saturday, and it smells so good!

Introducing Smokey Fox: a low and slow smoked food experience landing at the Fox Connaught. Built on passion, craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality, this is food made for sharing as it’s an experience that brings people together for friendship and great food.

Big meats, American-style barbecue, and proper low-and-slow cooking

Years in the making, Smokey Fox is the result of countless hours spent researching, testing, and perfecting the craft of real smoked meat. Brisket that's been in the smoker for up to twelve hours, pork belly rubbed, rested, and cooked until it falls apart. Picture maple wood smoke rings and layers of sweetness and spice. This is the taste of real barbecued meat paired with traditional sides including BBQ beans, mouth-watering mac and cheese, deep fried pickles, corn bread and more.

It’s time to share genuine food with soul, that’s smoked with passion

Smokey Fox isn't just about indulgent flavours, it's about the whole experience. From the moment the smoke hits the air to the big platter reveal at your table, everything's designed with a bit of theatre in mind. Share plates, big flavours, and good company. We invite you to bring friends, bring family, bring your favourite little people - this is food designed to be enjoyed together.

Come hungry and be curious. Whether you're a self-confessed meat lover or just fancy trying something new, Smokey Fox is for everyone who gets excited about good food made with care.

The Fox is still your local, with the same warm welcome, same honest pub feel, just with something seriously special coming out of the kitchen every Saturday from 12pm, courtesy of our wonderful chefs and extraordinary Smokey Fox creator, Dom.

“I want to share the smoky goodness - and I want you to come back for more."

Easy to find and a good place to stay over

Heading to the Fox couldn't be simpler.We've got a large car park on site, so driving is no issue. Coming by public transport? We're a short walk from both the DLR and Elizabeth Line, making us an easy stop whether you're a local or a friend who we’re yet to meet.

SmokeyFox is here every Saturday at the Fox Connaught.

Great to know:

We're talking maple-smoked meat now, with oak and cherry wood joining the mix soon,each one bringing something different to the table: maple for gentle sweetness, oak for depth, cherry for a fruity edge and that beautiful colour through the meat. Come try our food now, then come back again for new flavours.

Let’s leave the last word to Dom.

Smoked meat is one of the gentlest yet most impactful ways to cook.

You’re not blasting meat with intense heat, the process stays low and slow the entire time, which allows the meat to stay tender while developing incredible depth of flavour. The smoke itself becomes an ingredient, and different woods can completely change the character of the final product.
