Early Bird & Late evening menu - £19/£23/£26
£19.00 - £26.00 per person
Jun 4, 2025 - Jul 31, 2025
Out early? Out late? Hungry? Whether you’re heading to the theatre, finishing work, or just after something solid without the fuss, our new pre-Early Bird & Late Evening is exactly what you need. Same big flavours. Now at even better prices. One, two or three courses for ridiculously good value, with dishes straight from our main menu. Perfect for an early or late dinner - you choose. You’re not getting a cut-down version of the menu either - we’re talking big hitters like: 35-day dry-aged rump steak, our legendary Big Matt Burger, Charcoal Chicken Ana Mari, Roast Hake, and Ash-baked Beetroots. All mains come with a side included - pick from beef-dripping chips, baked sweet potato, buttered greens or an English Lettuce salad. There’s a solid choice of starters too (yes, Potted Beef & Bacon), and puddings that you'll regret skipping - Sticky Toffee Sundae, we’re looking at you. A little tipple? Also sorted. Let’s call it Happy Hour - you can grab a selection of drinks and cocktails, including Prosecco, Five Alive Fizz, or Canataloupe Spritz for just £6. When it’s on: Mon–Sat: 16:30–17:45 (ideal pre-theatre or after work) Mon–Thurs: 20:30–close (late bites without the late-night prices)

We ordered some olives to start, which were very bitter and hard. The steak was over cooked on the outside.the chips was delicious very good. It was my Husbands birthday, no complementary drink or pudding nothing very poor.

It was ok. Not bad but not great. Service was very slow; repeatedly asked for our check and she finally appeared with it.

Didn’t try loads of sides, just stuck to the surf & turf and steak — both cooked really well. Service was solid throughout, especially from Daniel who was genuinely friendly. Great spot for Kate’s birthday. Would go back.

Extremely busy, took close to an hour between courses. The wait staff were absolutely rushed off their feet so it wasn’t their fault, there simply weren’t enough staff.

We (a party of 4) arrived for lunch on Father’s Day at 12:45. The dining rooms were not busy. By the time we left at 3:00pm, the place was hopping and we chose not to leave the table for coffee at the bar. The service was outstanding. We were slow in ordering our food as we had a lot to catch up on, but the server was very pat and guided us well. All of our food was excellent. We’ll be back and we have to visit their Chicago outpost, where we live.

It was an overall excellent experience. At the start the drinks service and starts were a bit slow, however, our server kept us updated and and once they arrived we got back on track.

Dear Philip, Thank you for your lovely review and for highlighting both the positives and areas where we can improve. We're so glad to hear your experience turned out to be excellent overall, and that your server kept you informed during the slower start.

Extremely noisy. Steak was cooked beautifully, but was a chewy piece of meat. My wife's burger was over cooked
