Salutations from Hays, Kansas. I'm with 58limited if you could post a picture of your smoker that would help folks understand that with which you are working. Mosca is correct there is tons of help on this site and folks are happy to share ideas and plans. Concur with all of the above. Can't offer any more advice, but, best wishes!

It really depends WHERE in the UK you are. If you are near one of the American bases or a tourist spot near London or Bath then authentic TX, St Louis, or even Carolina BBQ may be a good direction as most places in those areas offering BBQ claim it is authentic but it is not even close (other than smokestak which was pretty good though many menu items obviously modded for London taste buds)... HP sauce does not taste like American BBQ sauce no matter what you mix it with. Obviously if somewhere with a heavy population of Muslim, Jewish or other non-pork culture you will need to do your take on BBQ using lamb, chicken, and beef (halal or kosher sourced).

From the places I lived in the UK I'd lean towards lamb, it's cheaper than beef usually but not many places were serving anything even resembling lamb ribs or smoked lamb in general. I think there would be a great opportunity to use a semi-neutral dry rub and develop an assortment of sauces (a British/US BBQ fusion sauce, a sweet chili sauce based BBQ sauce, a mint based Chimichurri sauce, etc...)

The above sauces would mostly translate to chicken as a second meat option without requiring extra work

Then come up with sides, once again dependent on the tastes of the area you are in and then just add a slight twist to compliment whatever you are producing on the smoker. A smoked mac and cheese and an American coleslaw would also pair nicely with the above and then just add a 3rd thing like chips with optional chunks of lamb or chicken or beef or whatever and a complimentary gravy.
