Barbecue · Lowestoft
Come hungry — the portions here are the first thing everyone mentions, with roasts arriving in servings people genuinely can't finish and a jug of gravy that keeps coming. The smoked meats are the draw, especially the brisket, though it's all cooked fresh so there's a wait — worth knowing if you've got a hungry child. It's a small room, so tables sit close and it can get loud when it's full; booking is sensible, particularly around Sunday lunchtime. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, buggy access is fine, and free parking saves the usual scramble. The outdoor seating is the calmer option with little ones. Dogs are welcome too, with a separate area for them. Prices sit a little above average for the area, but families reckon you go home full.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
