First opening their doors in 2006 in Spitalfields, they made a commitment to serve only the best beef that Britain has to offer! Their favourite cuts you need to try are Bone-In Prime Rib, T-Bone, Porterhouse & Chateaubriand - be warned because these cuts are big but perfect for sharing. Although the steak is definitely the star of the show, this restaurant offers amazingly fresh seafood as well as some delicious sides (we’d recommend Grilled Bone Marrow or their Triple Cooked Chips… yum!)

Temper is a vibrant smokehouse with vibrant fire pits and a huge open kitchen in the centre of the restaurant where you can watch the chefs butcher, prepare and cook your food! A big unique point to this restaurant is that they don’t use any industrial farming and all meat is sourced from small UK farms, which not only helps sustainability but they believe means a better flavour for your meal!

Originating down a back street in Shoreditch, Flat Iron was born to stop the exclusivity and bring the remarkable steak to everyone for any occasion (or no occasion at all for that matter). Their approach was to stay away from large systems and stick to small family-run farms based right here in the UK & Ireland. Under their menu on the website, you can find a list of all the suppliers so you know the exact location of where the food on your plate has come from! With minimal options on the menu, you can’t go wrong with the Flat Iron Steak for only £12.
