Smokeworks
Cambridge, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Smokeworks smokes brisket and pulled pork on Free School Lane, a low-lit Cambridge barbecue room tucked in behind the colleges. The formula is deliberately narrow — meat cooked long and slow, house mac and cheese alongside, plates around £14 — and it suits a student city where dinner has to be substantial and cheap on the same night. The lane it sits on is one of the quietest in central Cambridge, which makes the volume and the smoke inside more of a surprise. It has become the default answer for a table of six who cannot agree on anything else.
