Guests praise the comfortable, stylish rooms with modern amenities like powerful double showers and Tassimo coffee machines. Beyond the inviting accommodation, the main event is the classic British grill, where succulent dry-aged British grass-fed beef, sourced from Smithfield Market, is cooked over locally sourced charcoal in a Bertha oven reaching 350°C.

The booking arrangements, including follow up on menus and preferences was very slick and when we arrived, we had a wonderful private room.
The meal was absolutely delicious and the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection, some of the best our group had tasted.
We were quite a noisy group and the staff were incredibly patient and good natured, even offering a speaker for us to play music.
Couldn’t have asked for more from everyone involved - this was part of a stag that I’d organised for my brother, who’s one request was great steak and wine, Porterhouse totally delivered.
