Rani said: "We have southern pride American wood smoker which was imported from the States using a mix of oak, cherry, apple and hickory wood.

"All of our meat is locally sourced, free range and grass fed and butchered in Stratford upon Avon.

"We treat the meat just as well after its with us. Using our signature rubs and marinades we impart flavour and then smoke slowly at around 115 degrees for up to 14 hours to make our briskets and ribs mouth wateringly moist and tender."

Smowkhaus will be creating up to 12 new jobs and will be working with P3, a homeless charity in Leamington, cooking and donating food for the homeless and those in need.
