In the heart of Cardiff in the shadows of the world famous Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is set for theatre with our open kitchen showcasing charcoal grills and dry ageing cabinets displaying whole cuts of beef ready to be cut into our signature steaks.

We select our beef from farms in Wales & the South West, all which have been raised on pasture. We only buy native suckling breeds of beef and dry age it for a minimum of 35 days.
