Set on Windsor’s historic High Street, just a stone’s throw from the castle, Meat at the Parish is a premium steakhouse and cocktail bar that delivers on every front – from the melt-in-your-mouth meat to the sharp, expertly poured cocktails. Whether you’re booking in for a slow lunch or a lively dinner, this spot is a must for steak lovers, cocktail connoisseurs and anyone who enjoys dining done properly.
The heart of the menu is, of course, steak – and they don’t mess around. Each cut is dry-aged in-house for a minimum of 35 days, and only makes it to the oak woodfire grill once it’s reached peak flavour. Whether you go for a buttery USDA ribeye or a grass-fed Argentinian sirloin, every steak is served with roasted vine tomatoes, fresh watercress, and – if you’re smart – a side of hand-cut beef dripping chips.
There’s also the theatre of the Butcher’s Block, where cuts like Chateaubriand and bone-in rib are priced by weight, great for sharing and even better when paired with something bold from their international wine list. Starters range from oysters and crispy onion bloomers to slow-cooked pork belly ribs and roasted bone marrow, all designed to wake up your appetite in style.
But it’s not just about the steak. The bar is a destination in its own right, with a cocktail list that blends classic glamour with a touch of drama. Try the French 75 for a champagne-laced kick, or sip on a brandy champagne cocktail with roots in 19th-century Paris. If the sun’s out, there’s nothing quite like a crisp G&T on the terrace before diving into dinner.
With its cool, contemporary feel, welcoming buzz, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Meat at the Parish is loved by Windsor locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re booking for a date night, a special celebration, or just a well-earned steak after a long walk along the Thames, it’s a restaurant that always delivers – with style, flavour and a little bit of fire.
