Pappy's Texas BBQ

The home of tender and succulent BBQ smoked meats like no other.

Come to Pappy’s Texas BBQ, Kendal and enjoy some southern hospitality at Pappy’s Texas BBQ or enjoy the taste of Pappy’s award-winning BBQ at home with our Texan Takeout or nationwide delivery service, Pappy’s at Home.

Pappy’s Texas BBQ

At Pappy’s Texas BBQ, we bring big, bold flavors straight from the heart of Texas. Our brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and smoked wings are cooked the authentic way—over oak, with time and care.

From juicy, tender brisket with that perfect bark to juicy ribs, everything we serve is packed with deep, smoky goodness. Wash it all down with an ice-cold Lone Star beer or a classic Southern sweet tea—because BBQ is more than food; it’s a way of life.

Pappy's Texas BBQ

‘Authentic’ isn’t a word we just throw around.


Pappy’s Texas BBQ is founded on three generations of experience from a family of Pitmasters. Our slow-smoked BBQ is likely to be the most authentic Texas experience you’ll find on this side of the Atlantic. Whether you visit our Smokehouse Bar & Grill, enjoy our Texan Takeout, Pappy’s at Home or Pappy’s Taco Bar, you’ll be served traditional Texan recipes that have been collected over the generations, all with a hefty dose of our Southern hospitality.

Our Home

The Old Smokehouse

Kendal, Cumbria, UK

Pappy's Texas BBQ

All our meats are oak-smoked out of our base in Kendal’s historic smokehouse.
This Grade Two listed building was originally built for smoking ham and bacon during the 19th Century but fell into disrepair after the Second World War. Now refurbished, this space is home to our custom-built commercial pits and enables us to provide that smoky goodness to y’all at home!
