Authentic barbecue finds a home in Birmingham
For Joey’s Smokehouse, great barbecue is about doing things properly. Based in Birmingham city centre, the business specialises in authentic Texas-style barbecue, cooking its food over oak wood in an offset smoker using traditional methods.
There are no shortcuts. Customers can see the fire and the process behind the food, with quality at the heart of what Joey and his team do.
“We do true, authentic Texas-style barbecue. We cook all of our food in an offset smoker over oak wood, the original way. We don’t cut corners.”
Finding a unique space
When Joey set out to grow the business, he knew he wanted a space that was a little different.
After finding the right location, he worked with The Arch Company to get the business settled into its new home. For Joey, having flexibility and support along the way made a real difference as the business developed.
“They took time with me, they were helpful, and I think The Arch Company being flexible helps businesses grow like mine.”
From a product to a brand
Since making the move, Joey’s Smokehouse has continued to grow, building a name around authentic cooking, quality and service.
For Joey, that growth has become about something bigger than the food itself.
“Rather than creating a product, we created a brand. And that’s really important for us.”
With the business growing beyond his initial expectations, Joey is looking firmly ahead.
“Onwards and upwards for us.”

“We can use the space to our advantage. We built a mezzanine, so we use twice the amount of space by storing everything we don’t use upstairs, and downstairs we can do the work.”
