And the Steaks…

We take great pride in our steaks...All our meat comes from Tim Potter's Butchers in Wellington, recently awarded the title of 'Best Butcher in England'. The beef comes from Hereford and Limousin cross cattle, grazed just outside Milverton. Our chefs use a chargrill for that extra flavour - choose your cut, your potato side option and your sauce ... you won't be disappointed!
