As a consequence of our lacking antlers to sort matters out, mans competitive nature can lead to all manner of attempted besting between friends. One popular method is over a flame. Not by wrestling on a bonfire, but by outdoing your pal in the cooking of mans greatest culinary obsession: THE STEAK.

    Superb steaks, no corkage for the special wines we brought (although the wine list is extensive and with interesting choices), and the patio area at the back has a great vibe.

    We had a very nice evening with great food and excellent service. It's great that you can bring your own wines without being charged corkage, too. Absolutelyy recommend and hope to get another table soon - unfortunately booked out well in advance..

    If you’re a meat lover, this is the place to be. The quality of the food is incredible, not to mention the ability of the chefs to cook it exactly how you want it to. Great service as well!

    Service excellent as always. Also value for money as you can bring as much wine as you wish. My sirloin was good but looked like a minute steak. Not sure why my steak was so very very thin. But still tasty. We booked outside but ended up upstairs, I realised they made a plan as a result of the rain but I hate upstairs - the airflow is bad and the ceiling too low. I knocked my head twice.
