In Pictures: Blue's Smokehouse grand opening goes down a treat

Newbury's latest restaurant has thrown open its doors with a night of free food, drinks and music this week.

Blue’s Smokehouse held its grand opening (Friday, October 1) in the town's Market Place and everyone was invited.

The authentic American smokehouse is renowned for bringing brisket, craft beer, bourbon and burgers to its customers.

There were even a "few surprises" on the cards for attendees.

The company said: "At Blue’s our motto is “arrive hungry, leave happy” so get ready for free food, drinks, music and a few surprises.

"We’re passionate about what we do and we want you to be too, so get ready to enjoy a selection from our menu of delicious authentic American BBQ, southern specials and burgers.

"Plus, because you can’t say bar-b-que without bar, attendees will receive a free drink from our handpicked collection of craft beers and fully loaded cocktails."

Mudslide Morris and The Revelators and folk duo Colorado River got the crowds toe-tapping along to classic rock, blues and boogie.

Blue’s Smokehouse Newbury can be found at 34 Market Place. For more details check out the website - www.bluessmokehouse.com
