The most delicious smoked & BBQ meat ever. It just melts in your mouth every time and the flavour is just sensational. We've had the Ribs, cheek, Pork and chilli + some truffle cauliflower (omg! !). Actually thinking next time I order, I'll double up so we can have the chilli the next night too. More...

Not only is this the best BBQ you will eat in NZ but the atmosphere is choice. Like being at a picnic but way better. Never thought anyone could top Mums mac and cheese (sorry mum) but its so good i just want to bathe in it.

First visit here the other night and I'll definitely be back. Awesome food, great value, chilled atmosphere and lovely outdoor seating - perfect for these long summer nights. I told the owner that the Truffle Mac n Cheese is worthy of a "last meal" before you die label. It's rich and delicious. I think living so close to this place is going to be dangerous, in a good way More...

So just had salads chilli etc for dinner, bought earlier today - all fab. Alas there is an issue with the wings - they turned my wife Into a feral raccoon. I was lucky to get 4 (and had to fight hard for the 4th) as she had already had 5 and was going for a 6th! This all said I suspect that I should get you to smoke and cook me slow and low for her birthday on the 11th and cover me in that fab sauce and then she might be as keen on me as she is on your wings;) Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Having had my fair share of BBQ over the years, both in the US and in NZ, I would say Smokin Cole is one of the best. Tonight we had the ribs, cheese kransky, herb chicken drumsticks, pulled pork nachos, coleslaw and the truffle mac and cheese; and it was all cooked perfectly. Service was outstanding, and Croydon is a real gentleman! Thanks again team Cole for a fantastic dinner. More...
