Norwich's Texas style BBQ
This isn't humble BBQ. This is The Arrogant BBQ.
We opened because Norwich deserved better. Better meat, bigger portions, bolder flavour. Everything on the menu is cooked low and slow over real wood on our Pitboss smokers, seasoned with our own rubs and piled high with sides that fight for your attention.
We buy from Norfolk suppliers wherever we can and make every sauce in house. No shortcuts, no corporate supply chain. Just proper food cooked by people who care about it.
How we cook
Low & slow. No shortcuts.
We don't rush it, we don't fake it and we definitely don't microwave it. Three rules run the kitchen.
Smoked over real wood
Every cut is dry rubbed with our signature seasoning and smoked for hours until it falls apart.
Norfolk produce
Meat and veg come from local Norfolk suppliers wherever we can get them. You can taste the difference.
Made in house
Rubs, sauces, slaw and pit beans are all made in our kitchen. Portions are unapologetically big.
BBQ feasts & trays
Feeding a crowd? Go all in.
Sharing trays and feast platters built for groups, from the smash burger platter to the full family feast.
Events & catering
We'll bring the smoke to you.
Before the restaurant, we built our name at weddings, festivals and markets. We still cater across Norwich, Norfolk and Suffolk, from garden parties of 20 to weddings of 200 and more.
We bring the smokers, the setup and the crew. You tell us how many mouths and when.
