At Django’s, we’re all about slow cooking, big flavour and doing things properly. Based in Didcot, Oxfordshire, we smoke our meats low and slow over wood to build depth and flavour, using carefully selected cuts, house-made rubs, sauces and sides prepared from scratch.

Our food is shaped by the BBQ traditions we love, as well as the flavours and influences we’ve grown up around. With roots in Asian restaurants and a love for bringing different food cultures together, our menu goes beyond the usual smokehouse classics — from our signature smoked meats and bao buns to Korean BBQ flavours, loaded sides and seasonal specials.

Alongside our restaurant, we take Django’s on the road with our catering trailer, bringing our smokehouse to weddings, festivals, events and pop-ups across Oxfordshire and beyond. Keep an eye on our socials to find out where we’ll be next.

people love our food

“As an American, I have strong feelings about BBQ. As an American living in the UK, I am often disappointed with the BBQ offerings. Django’s Smokehouse exceeded all my expectations. The pork short ribs were melt in my mouth, the pulled pork was exquisite and the BBQ chicken was tender and flavourful. The fries were the surprise hit- so tasty! All in all a wonderful meal that completely satisfied my cravings for home. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. All in all, I highly recommend!”
– Christine Beavers

“Absolutely amazing! Being Canadian i’ve had high hopes for smoke house restaurants, but have never found anything that gives me that ‘I feel like i’m back home’ feeling until now. Djangos was amazing! The food was 5 stars, full of flavour, all the meat was so tender and perfectly cooked. Salads were lovely, the loaded fries were unreal! The whole place had such a fun vibe, the WHOLE restaurant decor tied together and gave such a great atmosphere.”
– Sasha Reade

“We went a week ago and it was so good, we went back last night with friends. The meat here is absolutely exceptional, perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth. This time we also tried the range of loaded fries, which were all incredible (although if anything the portion sizes are maybe too generous – we took a doggy bag home). The brisket and ribs are our favourites, but there wasn’t anything we wouldn’t order again. The staff are also lovely, really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It’s our new favourite restaurant.”
– Rebekah Roe

“Out of this world food – meat fell off the bone, delicious bbq sauce, perfectly spiced fries, amazing service. I so wanted this to be as good as other BBQ restaurants we’ve been to and it was BETTER.”
– Helen Fletcher

“Went for a family Birthday, 1st noticed how well it had been refurbished. Had a nice relaxed atmosphere, All the staff were friendly & helpful. We ordered different platters to share Which were all good, But the short rib of Beef & barbecue chicken was stand out for me really good. Had a really nice family meal in a relaxed atmosphere, we will definitely be returning again.”
– Rob Williams

“I’ve only eaten at Django’s a couple of times, one of which was the very first night, but the experience has been pleasant and friendly, and the food is excellent, of particular note are, of all things, the cauliflower wings, in a Korean BBQ glaze specifically, easily the best I’ve had and a pleasant surprise, maybe even a shock, to skeptical family! The decor is great, popping upstairs you could easily forget that you’re in Didcot, I can’t wait to see how Django’s grows and evolves, and I look forward to sampling everything on the menu.”
– Phil Harper

“This amazing family-owned restaurant in Didcot is a real gem. Do try the Chicken Tenders with Django’s own BBQ sauce, it is heavenly. For mains, we had Low ‘n’ slow Pulled Pork, Pork Spared Ribs and Pulled BBQ Jackfruit which is perfect if you don’t eat meat. We shared these and they were fantastic. We will go back soon to try their Brisket and the Beef Short Rib which is the chef’s favourite. Finally: the french fries. Such a basic thing yet so many pubs and restaurants get it wrong. Here it was just perfect! Please do take time to enjoy the amazing work that went into this place, this building is beautiful, inside out.”
– István Bessenyei

“Went on Easter Sunday for their special smokehouse roast, which was delicious. Meat was cooked well (as were the trimmings to accompany the roast) and the service was excellent. Dealt well with allergies (nuts, fish and milk) and were able to comfortably accommodate a pram. Decor is nice and comfy, the cocktail bar upstairs looks great too.”
– Becci B

” Django’s hosted my party last weekend and we had the most amazing afternoon. The staff were great and let us organise the upstairs area how best suited us for our party, we were able to go in early to decorate the place without any issues. They were so accommodating to our needs to make the day as amazing as it turned out to be. I couldn’t have imagined having such a special day celebrated anywhere else.”
– Jade-Chelsie Slipper

“The staff were friendly, attentive and were always happy to stop by and ensure everything was okay. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious! I had the ribs and I can safely say they were some of the best ribs I think I’ve ever had ! I highly recommend this place to eat out and I’m already looking forward to visiting here again!”
– Alex Rhys Woodward

“Being American, we’re big fans of good barbecue. Finding good bbq in the UK is not easy. This is really excellent bbq. Meats well cooked. Django sauce was tasty with nice spice. We will definitely be back (or have it delivered)!”
– Hal Kirkwood

“Had an amazing evening we were a party of 35. The food was amazing, service superb and the staff went out of their way to make it a fab evening. We took our own cake and all the staff sang Happy Birthday, certainly will recommend to everyone and will visit again soon. Thanks for a lovely evening”
