Had a smashing lunch with a friend. First time visiting other than for a Sunday roast. Place was buzzing. Thoroughly enjoyed my ribeye, beef dripping chips and broccoli and walnut salad with a nice bottle of red. Good service and not rushed. Very decent value too Will be back.

The food is amazing! We had steak and the flavour was so good, the chips were superb as well. It is first and foremost a chophouse and therefore specialises in meat - the ones we saw looked superb. The menu is a little confusing but the very good waitress talked us through it and made sense of it. Overall, definitely recommend.

Service was excellent from the moment we arrived. We had the Sunday roast £25 offer which was good value for money and very tasty. The jazz singer was lovely too. The only thing is it gets incredibly noisy because of the high ceilings and industrial design. Would recommend though because of service and food.
