"Was the second time I had eaten here but had a lovely Sunday meal here last Sunday courtesy of Flatmate. Butcher and Grill (situated on the formersite of Cafe Rouge) occupies a great, imposing site. The Butchers shop welcomes you as you walk in- to the right a lovely array of meat and to the left a delicatessen/grocers selling a selection of organic produce. The split-level open plan restaurant is to the back. A heavily stocked bar located to the left, high ceilings and exposed brick work give the place a sophisticated yet homely feel. Flatmate and I, starving as ever, eyed the menu and decided to forgo the starters (pretty unexciting) and dive into the mains to stop ourselves drooling onto the table. We excitedly ordered plates of the rib eye steak. Sides as do the sauces, come separately so we ordered some green beans, mash, dauphinoise potatoes, mushrooms and green peppercorn and red wine sauces.Before I was about to chew Flatmates arm off it all came thick and fast and we were very excited. Meat looked good, potatoes looked good. Veg looked ok but mushrooms a side does not make. HmmmmAmyway, it was great. We loved the organic rib eye fantastic and flavoursome though a touch overdone. Nevermind we said, we were too hungry to care and i was upset when the last mouthful had gone. Flatmate pushed the boat out and ordered us puddings cheesecake and an apple thingy. In preparation, we had to unbutton the top of our jeans to make room. Can't remember but i think they were nice the steak just keeps coming back to me steak cheesecake? steak apple thingy? Not sure how much it all came up to as lovely Flatmate paid (thanks Nic). But it was a great hearty, winters meal perfect for a cold Sunday afternoon. P.S. The first time I came here I came with my Dad who wanted to order off the menu so we wandered down to the Butchers and he got the Butcher to cut him a hefty slab of rib eye must have weighed about a pound! Seriously my dad was eating long after mum and I had finished but he eventually did I was so proud and he was happily full!"

"this was the first restaurant that I found when using happy cow to eat, so it should be my first to also be checked! I was drawn to come here through their fascinating vegan options, especially the banana-blood “fish” and chips. it also had a very large selection of beautiful looking eating for my omni woman to choose. the pub itself, when large, but secretly with beautiful decor. we had arrived to arrive immediately and our food did not take too long to arrive once ordered. I ordered a dietary coke and the banane blossom “fish” and chips. When my teller arrived, I was taken back by the fact that the vegan tartar sauce was served in an oyster dish. I hoped it was thoroughly cleaned, but it is also not very sensitive to a vegan mindset. the food itself was charming, but the teig was crazy good and my first time that the bananese blossom impressed me very much! I finished eating all the teller and was very full! when the bill came to my shock I saw that we were calculated for the dietary pepsi (a famous non vegan drink) instead of diet cakes. the restaurant did not tell us that they had this on hahn in the opposite to koks, so without my knowledge or my mood they served me a non vegan drink. I was pretty upset and just wanted to get out, so she didn't know what happened, though I probably would have. I think that both the as well as the entire serviers sauce in an oyster shell shows that some places are ready to provide for vegan (for inclusiveness or profit), but must make sure that they understand every aspekt that goes into it. so I recommend her banan blossom ‘fish’, but be careful was drinks they order there."
