Ordering Strategy

The 'All In' platter is the standard operating procedure for groups, providing a tour of the menu's best chops. If visiting on a Monday, take advantage of 'Butcher's Prices' on steaks.

What to order

Safe first

All In

Regarded as the 'main purpose of the place' and the 'best deal for sharing,' this signature stack of beef, pork, and lamb is served over charred flatbread that soaks up all the juices.

Hungry

Sunday Roast

A hugely popular family-style feast served with multiple meats and what critics call 'the best Sunday roast gravy ever.'

Wildcard

White Chocolate Cheesecake

A decadent dessert that is famously 'doled out tableside' from a large dish, providing a legendary finish to the meal.

Wildcard

Pig's head on toast

A highly recommended starter served with a 'boat' of proper gravy, perfect for those wanting to kick off their meal with something rich and savory.

What to skip

Skip
Pre-chop bites— The Guardian described these crackers—topped with egg, cheese, or ham—as 'more a distraction from the wait for the main event than a starter.'

Good to know

The venue is located in a basement and is notoriously loud with 'booming music', making it perfect for groups but difficult for quiet conversation. Corkage is available (often £10).
