Modern British cuisine experience

Particularly popular is the "All In" offer, which features a selection of thin chops from beef, pork, and lamb served on homemade flatbreads that are lightly toasted over the grill. The meat comes from top-notch suppliers, such as the award-winning butcher Philip Warren from Cornwall, with cuts aged for up to 55 days to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor. A highlight is the porterhouse, a thick, juicy steak often ordered for sharing, known for its perfect grill marks. The sides include Beef Dripping Chips—crispy fries fried in beef fat that offer an unparalleled richness. Vegetarians can also find options here, like the BBQ Baby Gems, crunchy little gem lettuce hearts with a smoky sauce.
