Dom & Jim
Two mates, one smoker, zero humility.
The Arrogant BBQ started with two mates, Dom and Jim, who were cocky enough to know their BBQ was the best around.
We don't do gimmicks. Everything we cook is proper BBQ: slow smoked, juicy and dripping with flavour. Every brisket, every rack and every burnt end gets care, patience and a bit of swagger.
Our ingredients are local, our sauces are secret and our portions are big. We cater for everyone, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, because good food shouldn't leave anyone out.
How we got here
Built on smoke and stubbornness.
No corporate investors and no franchise playbook. Just two people who know what good BBQ tastes like and aren't afraid to say it.
01
The back garden
A second hand smoker and two mates who refused to eat another bland burger. Friends kept saying the same thing: best BBQ I've ever had.
02
Markets & events
So we backed ourselves. Market stalls, festivals and weddings across Norfolk, feeding hundreds at a time and building a following.
03
Magdalen Street
When Norwich kept asking for more, we opened the doors at 101 Magdalen Street and made it permanent.
Why the name
We called it The Arrogant BBQ because we'd rather be honest than humble.
The food speaks for itself. We just make sure it's loud enough.
The experience
More than BBQ. A moment you remember.
It's the smell of smoke in the air, the sound of brisket hitting the board and the silence when a table gets their Meat Tray.
Whether you're eating in on Magdalen Street, ordering to your sofa or booking us for your event, we're here to serve BBQ that leaves an impression.
