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.

    I had a starter portion of the bang bang chicken for my main with a side order of chips. I don’t need a huge amount of food, It was delicious, have had it before. Seemed very popular. Didn’t have room for desert ! Staff very polite, they always are. There was a rather loud party of girls and guys there when I booked. 5.45 pm but that was ok. Very busy and good service. Would highly recommend.

    Took my son & mum out today for lunch. Was very quiet so was seated right away. Ordered chicken stack with pepper sauce, asked for chunky chips instead of champ. Was a really lovely meal. Chicken was tender, chips were so nice, only they put the chips in the dish would have preferred separate. Mum ordered braised beef which she loved & my son got the brisket burger which he said was delicious. Had been before for food and was still as good as last time. Service was also good. It's nothing fancy but the food makes up for that. Would defo recommend.
