When I say boys, I mean late 40s early 50s, obviously smile

Regular London meat-up for a group of 4 mates. Usually steak related and close to the City. We have done Goodman twice. New Street Grill. Several Hawksmoors. Bodeans. Relais De Venise. Tayyabs. Turkish. etc

So ideally meat. Lots of it, grilled. And limited salady-stuff. Bread and Chips are good.

Looking for recommendations otherwise it is Goodman again.

We do the same each year.

Most recent was Beast, which opened in May and is owned by Goodman.

It's different, but very good. http://www.beastrestaurant.co.uk/


Also, if you're really focussed only on meat, we went to JW Steakhouse earlier this year too which was excellent.
Beast looks awesome. I think one of the party is anti shellfish, but what does he know smile

I work in the next street to Big Easy in CG. Can't say I was all that impressed, although may well give it another try, it was early days and the service was iffy and the food average.

I love MEATmarket, but probably need something a bit less messy.

Umm. Am I being daft - I can't actually see a menu?
I know. That pissed me off too. Nonsense website.

It seems that it is £75 for ...

Hunk of Parmesan
Steak
Crab
Pud

He doesn't have to eat the shellfish if he doesn't want to. Both the steak and crab arrive on big platters at the same time and you take what you want. We wanted more steak (even though they gave us two huge cuts already) and they happily went away to make us some more free of charge!
Good info. Many thanks !

(am now so hungry I am wondering if they have a table for .... NOW) smile

Not too much of a trek from the city

Just order the mixed grill, very good steaks and the morcilla is superb..
100% this worth the 30min ride from the City.
Thanks both.

Great meat experience !

Happy to hear you enjoyed it - I'm hoping for a return visit sometime soon..
I would definitely go back. It is great place and the steak is very good. Maybe not quite up to New Street Grill but overall more relaxed.
