Better Than Airport Food

Skip The Terminal Meal Deal

Airport food is expensive and forgettable. We are about ten minutes away at 1741 Coventry Road, on the A45 that runs straight to the airport, with our own parking. Come in for a mixed grill from the tandoor, a proper curry, or fish and chips if the holiday has you craving home.

Flying out in the evening? A table here beats a departure lounge bench. Opening hours are below, and note the kitchen rests on Mondays.

Eating Out Before An NEC Event

The NEC is a few minutes past the airport on the same road, so we get plenty of show-goers and exhibitors in before events. Prices here are restaurant prices, not venue prices, and if there is a match on you can catch it on our screens while you eat.

Getting here

How far is Smokey Barrels from Birmingham Airport?

About ten minutes by car. We are at 1741 Coventry Road, B26 1DS, on the A45, the same road that runs to the airport. Buses also run along the A45.

Is there parking at the restaurant?

Yes, the site has its own parking, so you can stop for a meal without hunting for a space.

Can I eat here before an event at the NEC?

Yes. The NEC sits next to the airport, a few minutes further along the A45 and M42, so plenty of people eat with us before a show or an exhibition. Booking ahead is sensible on event days.
