Smokey Joe's continues a fourth generation of a family-run business dedicated to bringing fabulous food, drinks, entertainment, pop culture and great customer service to Gloucestershire. Great grandma Hilda catered for Afternoon Teas on the lawn at her house in Churchdown in the 1930's. This house was then converted into a caf which my grandparents, Phyllis & Ken, renamed as Smokey Joe's.
They fed and entertained both locals and the American GIs from the nearby airbase during the 40s and 50s and had the first jukebox in the South West to bring some popular music to the mix. They opened a further few cafes in Cheltenham after this until they retired to the Isle of Man in the 60s. In 1981 my parents, Steve & Pat, bought an old printing works in Cheltenham town centre.
