The clue is in the name....and for the juiciest, most flavorsome steaks around, no matter how you take it, it's hard to beat a Josper-cooked steak! The secret is our Josper grill, a very particular style of Spanish charcoal oven, which is regarded by chefs worldwide as the finest method of cooking super tender steaks, while locking in all those wonderful flavors. So whether it's Sirloin or Rib Eye you prefer, the unique smoky, barbecue-style taste of our locally sourced, prime aged steaks is, we believe, out of this world! If, however, steaks are not your thing, then fear not, as we also offer a wide-ranging & amp; varied menu and quick & easy Light Lunch menu.

Pre - theatre meal was excellent.My first experience of the Fitzwilliam. Two/three courses at £28/33 - we had one of each, sharing a dessert. Ahmed was our contact/server and was very good ; at a table nearby, there was a couple, one of whom was handicapped and Ahmed’s quiet attention to them was extremely good. Food good and wine prices seemed very reasonable for a highly *starred” hotel. Would recommend, certainly for a pre-theatre at the GOH. Will visit again in the future.
