160 Clapham Park Road, London, SW4 7DE
Harden's survey result
Summary
With its red neon signage, black-tiled exterior and bare-brick interior, this well-established steakhouse in the borders between Clapham and Brixton will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2026. The formula is straightforward, revolving around quality beef all supplied by Lake District Farmers (and roasts on Sundays). This year’s biggest criticism? “Good but pricey”.
Summary
“The staff are so lovely and accommodating” and help underpin the strong all-round support for this long-running steakhouse, on the fringes of Clapham and Brixton. It serves a curt menu with the focus on steak supported by a few options for non-meat-eaters. Look out for the black-tiled exterior – complete with large red neon signage: by contrast the interior is quite low key.
Summary
This indie steakhouse on the Clapham-Brixton border “does that one thing very well, then adds a big helping of friendly service”. A former Top Steakhouse winner in the Harden’s London Restaurant Awards, it is a local favourite for Sunday roasts.
Summary
“The best Sunday roasts… well cooked and hangover-busting!” are just one of the options for eating at this excellent, small brick-walled steakhouse on the Clapham/Brixton borders (a former winner of the Top Steaks category in the Harden’s London Restaurant Awards). The menu has a good variety of choices, including beef sourced from farmers in the Lake District.
