Caribbean heat, smokehouse soul
This is jerk, sticky ribs, sizzling fajitas and feasts that land in the middle of the table — and a bar that wants you to stay.
Stay on site
Four rooms, zero taxi maths
Private doubles on site — crash after dinner, a weekend of feasts, or when the birthday crowd needs somewhere to land.

Eat, drink, stay over
Smokehouse, on-site accommodation, and a room that wants a party
Taste Smokehouse & Grill sits at 201 Ringwood Road — same site as The White Hart, with Palms Club coming soon. The kitchen runs jerk, grill and sharing feasts; the bar keeps the pours coming; the layout flexes when you want the whole place for a birthday or private hire.
Come for lunch or dinner, stay overnight, or hire the place and make it yours.

What we host

Celebration of life
A warmer, more personal setting when you want people to eat, talk and stay a while.

The crew
Grill, lights, the extras
Catering, photography, lighting and more — so you can focus on who is coming and what they are drinking.

Jerk, grill and sharing feasts — sit-down, buffet or party boards.
Photography
Experienced photographers to catch the night as it actually happened.
DJ & playlist
Sound, lighting and a soundtrack that keeps the room moving.
Lighting & décor
Tropical colour, neon and geometry — not a flower arch in sight unless you ask.
Bar packages
Cocktails, rum, wine and a low-and-no list for the designated driver.
On-site rooms
Four self-contained double rooms for you and your guests.
On the same site
The pub next door, and a club on the way
Taste Smokehouse sits at 201 Ringwood Road with The White Hart beside you — and Palms Club, a boutique hotel, spa and restaurant, coming soon.
The White Hart
A quieter pint before you come over — or a softer landing when the smokehouse is in full swing. Grade II listed, next door.
Visit The White Hart
Palms Club
Hotel, spa and restaurant — something special for Ferndown and Longham. Stay tuned while the palms go in.
Coming soon
Book the table. Come hungry.
Reserve online, or talk to us about a private feast and rooms for the people who shouldn't be driving home.
