“We used Pendragon’s Smokehouse to cater our daughter’s graduation party, and everything was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, fresh, and a huge hit with all of our guests. We received so many compliments throughout the party! Charlie was wonderful to work with from start to finish…professional, responsive, and made the entire process so easy. It’s always great to support a local, family-run business, especially when the food and service are this good. Highly recommend Pendragon’s Smokehouse for your next event. We will absolutely be using them again!”

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Charlie and his team are amazing and the food is incredible. We hosted a large event (150 people), booked him last minute and he was so helpful and accommodating. So easy to work with and everyone is still raving about the food. BOOK HIM TODAY. He is the best!!!”

What Makes It Pendragon’s
Made Carefully, From the Smoke Up
Pendragon’s is a family-run smokehouse built around American barbecue, with occasional British and Hungarian influences from the food we grew up around. Our approach is simple: cook with care, use good ingredients and make the experience straightforward for the customer.
We smoke our meats low and slow with real wood, building depth of flavor without letting the smoke overpower the food.
Our sides, sauces and desserts are made in small batches to round out the meal, whether we’re feeding a family or a full event.
Charlie and Eva stay closely involved in the cooking, planning and service, so the details of your order don’t get lost along the way.
We organize and pack each order for the way it will be served, helping food arrive neatly and making setup easier at home or at an event.
