Harden's survey result
Summary
“Amazing steak (though the rest of menu is good too)” and terrific views over the City and St Paul’s share top billing at the flagship restaurant at the top of a handsome Grade II-listed former Smithfield market warehouse. It can be “a bit noisy”, but it makes for a “solid dining experience” that’s “always good for business”.
Summary
The City views are splendid at this rooftop venue, in the fine Grade II-listed former Smithfield market warehouse – converted into a multi-floor destination in the 1990s, of which this is the flagship dining option. Though it can seem a little ‘City’ in its approach, fans feel it’s “still a solid choice for lunch”. But not everyone’s wild about the new menu (“just say no to small plate hell – this should have remained a steak restaurant!”)
Summary
With fine views from the fringes of the City, this (slightly pricey) rooftop venue on top of a four-floor Smithfield destination is well-known as a “business-focused” venue, but it has broadened its appeal in recent times – there’s less focus on steak and a new rooftop brunch.
Summary
A “lovely location” with “great views” across the meat market to the City is reason enough to visit this top-floor venue, with a menu that focuses unsurprisingly on red meat. There’s a “good atmosphere, with tables not too close together”, which makes it a top choice for City-fringe business lunches. The “fixed-price steak and Malbec is great value for money”.
