Big Easy Bar.B.Q & Crabshack - Covent Garden

You're on one of Covent Garden's most charming pedestrian streets, ducking into a restaurant that actually gets the low-and-slow barbecue thing right. Big Easy pulls off that rare feat of feeling properly casual whilst sitting steps away from the piazza's theatre crowds and tourists. The menu splits its personality between serious BBQ—brisket, ribs, pulled pork—and a crabshack concept that means you're getting proper fresh crab alongside your smoked meats. It's the kind of place where you don't feel out of place in jeans, but the kitchen isn't treating any of it like a side hustle either.
