(749)

We are a steakhouse in existence since the early sixties and we pride ourselves in producing steaks far superior to our competitors. Our steaks are guaranteed super grade, grained beef. It is hung on the carcass for up to 7 days and is then packed by professional butchers. The meat is wet-aged for up to 21 days and then put before your very eyes to order and you are welcome to join us at the grill to make your choice. The management, on request, will willingly show you the cool room where our stock is rotated. So... Who are we? Is it because the best cuts come from the rear, and Nelson was a Rear Admiral? Or is it because Horatio symbolizes everything we hope to achieve in the domination/franchise market? Well in truth, it's none of these things. Our founder has long since disappeared into cholesterol heaven and when we tried to make contact with a relative who may know the reason for the name we were told to bu**er off. So, we don’t know...

The Ribeye, what a choice! 😍🥩

Why is it so popular? Well, not only is it full of flavour, but it’s also juicy and beautifully tender, all the elements that make a great steak.

It features rich marbling throughout, which slowly melts as it cooks, creating that flavourful, buttery finish Ribeye is known for.

There’s a reason it’s such a popular choice 🥩

Good steak starts long before it reaches the grill 🥩🔥

At Nelson’s Eye, the quality of the meat has always mattered to us. Starting with a great cut means letting the quality and flavour speak for itself.
