A cacophonous, wood-paneled temple to open-fire cooking where the Basque-style grilling of whole fish takes centre stage.
Ordering Strategy
This menu is built for groups of 3-4 people to tackle the large format proteins (whole fish or beef chops). Solo diners should aim for the counter.
What to order
Whole Turbot
The restaurant's namesake and the "pinnacle of a meal"; it is slow-cooked over indirect heat for half an hour to produce "soft, lightly sticky skin" and "pearly flesh."
Beef Chop
Served as "slabs of flame-licked beef" or a "rib of prime moorland beef," this dish is specifically designed for "sociable feasting" and hearty appetites.
Chopped Egg Salad with Bottarga
Called the "culinary equivalent of an Anthony Hopkins performance," this dish features a yolk "languidly fixed between solid and soft" where the "nursery softness of the egg is punctuated by the salty, grown-up hit of the bottarga."
Grilled Bread with Anchovies
These "blistered anchovy flatbreads" are a "not to miss" starter, often described as "deity level baking" that sets the tone for the wood-fired menu.
Roasted Potatoes with Hay-Smoked Butter
Described by critics as "essential," these potatoes are roasted over embers and doused in hay-smoked butter until they "slump in on themselves over the fire."

Good to know
The entrance is discreet (speakeasy-style) on the first floor. It holds a Michelin star. The dining room gets very smoky and loud, so avoid if you need a quiet conversation.
