Comprising a bespoke butcher’s shop, a bar, & quite a smart restaurant that looks on to an old wharf, this venture from Dominic Ford & co naturally puts the emphasis firmly on red meat: raw
& cooked. The kitchen does offer a few alternatives to animal protein – we’re told the aubergine salad with tzatziki dressing & the oysters are generally very good – but the place revels in
its carnivorous outlook. Steaks with classic sauces are excellent, calf’s liver & bacon is as it should be, & the traditional breakfasts are worth a journey over the river. Plenty of red
wine helps brighten the complexion of diners & rev up the boisterous mood, which the waiters sometimes find hard to control. A second branch can be found at 33 High Street, Wimbledon Village,
SW19 5BY, 020 8944 8269.
