Belfast loves its festivals, street food, and great outdoor gatherings, and Smoke on the Road has become a local favourite at many of them. Whether it is a lively music festival, a bustling market, or a private event, we are proud to bring the full smokehouse experience wherever the road takes us. From tender brisket to slow smoked pulled pork, our food truck Belfast setup serves restaurant quality BBQ with that unmistakable aroma of fire and flavour. You can find out where we are serving next on the Smoke on the Road website.
Taking the Smokehouse to the Streets of Belfast

At Smoke BBQ, we believe great food should travel. That is why we created Smoke on the Road, our mobile BBQ catering division designed to deliver the same high quality dishes you would find in our restaurant directly to Northern Ireland events. You will find us serving hungry crowds at BBQ events Belfast loves, from summer festivals to private parties and corporate celebrations.
Our trucks are more than catering vehicles. They are fully equipped smokehouses on wheels, fitted with commercial smokers, grills, and preparation stations. It is the ultimate street food experience, infused with authentic smoke and a whole lot of heart. You can read more about our street BBQ catering at Smoke on the Road.
Serving Up at Belfast Events
We have had the honour of firing up the grills at some of local festivals NI enjoys most. Each event brings its own energy, and our team thrives on feeding that buzz with slow cooked BBQ favourites that keep people coming back for more. Many organisers now choose to book us directly through Smoke on the Road.
Belfast City Events
From the Cathedral Quarter to the Titanic Slipways, our BBQ trucks have served at celebrations and public festivals across Belfast. Whether it is live music, outdoor markets, or charity fundraisers, we are there with a menu that fits the crowd.
Corporate Gatherings and Brand Launches
For businesses hosting team days or brand activations, Smoke on the Road adds a memorable twist to corporate catering. Instead of bland buffets, guests enjoy juicy brisket, smoky pulled pork, and handcrafted sauces served hot and fresh from the truck. Menu ideas for corporate events are listed on our corporate catering page.
Private Parties and Weddings
Many of our favourite events are private occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthday celebrations. Guests love the theatre of seeing our chefs work, smelling the smoke, and tucking into freshly carved BBQ that rivals any restaurant experience.
Our Signature Street Food Belfast Menu
When we hit the road, our menu celebrates everything Smoke BBQ stands for, from quality and flavour to authenticity. Every event is a little different, but you will usually find us serving some of these favourites:
- Smoked brisket rolls with tangy house slaw
- BBQ pulled pork buns with pickles and sauce
- Sticky ribs glazed to perfection
- Smoked chicken wings and loaded fries
- Mac and cheese, slaw, and BBQ beans on the side
