Wellington Smokehouse

In the heart of Te Aro, Wellington Smokehouse fills the air with fragrant woodsmoke and warm hospitality.

Slow-smoked meats and seafood take centre stage here, crafted over local wood and packed with rich, savoury flavour. Rustic at heart with a modern, street-style edge, it’s the kind of venue where the aroma draws you in and an inviting atmosphere keeps you around.

On the plate, bold fare arrives in generous portions. Handcrafted burgers, signature ribs, and tender pork sit alongside chicken quesadillas and Southern fried chicken, while premium steaks are kissed by the grill and fresh seafood gets its moment in the pan.

Hearty sides and loaded fries bring the feast together, perfectly complemented by a deep, smoky-sweet BBQ sauce. This is familiar food beautifully elevated by time, patience, and fire - all served up with a friendly, laid-back charm.

Beloved by locals and a drawcard for visitors, Wellington Smokehouse is perfect for casual catch-ups, family gatherings, and relaxed dinners. So gather your crew and let the good times roll - slowly, of course!
