Smoke Stop BBQ – Motorhome Stopover Information
🍺 About the Pub
Smoke Stop BBQ was known as Shropshire’s first authentic American smokehouse, specialising in slow-smoked meats prepared on-site with locally sourced ingredients. It was a popular Motorhome Pub Stopover and Motorhome Stopover destination due to its reputation for hearty BBQ dishes and a welcoming pub atmosphere. However, the pub ceased trading with immediate effect in late 2022 due to financial difficulties caused by Covid and rising costs. As of now, reopening status is unknown, so please confirm before planning a Motorhome Parking stopover here.
