🥩🔥 Every great steak begins with mise en place. 👨‍🍳

Before our new 800g Salt Aged Picanha ever meets the flames, it starts here.

Watch the first stage of our mise en place as Head Chef Neil carefully scores and prepares the beef, ready for roasting over fire. This essential preparation helps the fat render beautifully, creating the incredible flavour and caramelised crust that makes this sharing steak so special.

It's the attention to detail before service that makes all the difference.

Keep an eye out for the finished dish... it's a showstopper. 🔥

🥩 The wait begins.

Head Chef Neil is preparing our Aubrey Allen bone in sirloin for the next stage of its journey, carefully placing it into our dry age fridge.

Sourced from renowned Royal Warrant holder Aubrey Allen, every cut is chosen for its exceptional quality before being expertly dry aged in house to develop an even deeper flavour and incredible tenderness.
Great steak isn't rushed, it's perfected with time.

Who else loves a beautifully aged steak? 🔥🥩
