Quick info
About Smoke & Pepper (Bow)
Smoke & Pepper (Bow) is a hamburger restaurant on Unit 32, built around grass-fed Angus beef burgers and flame grilled chicken alongside a range of sides. The Korean Loaded Fries and the Korean Burger anchor the menu as its signature items, with Korean wings and Algerian wings also on offer. Chicken tenders come in Bbq or Korean styles, paired with sweet potato fries or spicy rice, and the smash burger meal arrives with its own fries. A cheesy classic burger can be ordered as a combo with wings and chips. The space is walk-in, with orders taken at the counter and a seating area that leans more toward takeout than sit-down dining. This is one of two branches, the other in Leyton, and food can be picked up or taken home to enjoy.

Customer Review Summary
Wings and burgers lead the praise, with the Korean wings, the Algerian wings and the grilled chicken, which one diner rates above Nandos, named most often. Close behind are the smash burger with crisp edges, the cheesy classic burger and the spicy rice, which several call full of flavour. Reviewers also single out the sweet potato fries, the peri-topped chips and the Dubai kunafa cake. Food is described as hot, fresh and quick, and the front-of-house staff are repeatedly called welcoming and friendly. The main complaint is inconsistency on delivery. One reviewer says the Bow branch has slipped, with one of three loaded fries arriving with hardly any sauce or chicken, and got a refund through Uber Eats. Another found the chicken tenders messy to eat, and one says the seating is limited and the shop hard to find, more takeaway than dine-in. Several note generous sauces and portions. One diner had a wrong item remade free of charge, and another was shown where to face and handed a prayer mat when asking to pray.

“There's the bow branch and leyton branch. I order from Bow as its more closer to me, and have had several times where the service was not good at all. Such as portions or overall food quality. I've ordered 3 loaded fries with 2 of them being decent and 1 of them appalling with lack of everything. Chicken sauce and chips. Smoke and pepper once used to be good but have degraded over time. Luckily I managed to get a refund through uber eats. But that does not change the outcome of this review. Please fix your portion sizes and overall quality of your food ,especially for online orders. The in-store experience and online is considerably different. We online customers are still your customers, we are the same as your in-store customers. So treat and value us equally.”

“The location was quite hard to find and the seating area isn’t that big it’s more of a take out than a dine in, but food was really good and they were really accommodating and polite”

“I had a fantastic experience at Smoke & Pepper Bow Branch. The food was amazing, especially the grilled chicken it was delicious, and I honestly think it’s even better than Nandos The spicy rice was also full of flavour and perfectly cooked. A special mention to the gentleman taking orders at the till. His customer service was outstanding. He was calm, polite, professional, and made every customer feel welcome. If I owned a business, I would hire someone like him without hesitation. He is a real asset to the team. I’m also attaching a photo of my receipt just to show that this is a genuine review based on my own experience.”

“Always fantastic service! Having Irshad at the front is brilliant, he’s always welcoming, smiling, and provides excellent customer service every time. The food is consistently amazing and never disappoints. Big thanks to Irshad and the whole team for always looking after me and being so generous with the food and sauces. That’s exactly why I keep coming back as a loyal customer. Highly recommended!”

“It was my first time ordering from here and genuinely I was amazed. I ordered the cheesy classic with wings + chips and when I tell you the burger was so delicious, juicy and just yummy. You’d normally expect restaurants to be stingy with the peri they put on the chips however you guys topped it off so well. The wings were so good, tasty and was literally falling off the bones 10/10. Would definitely recommend!”
