The Herd Steak Restaurant offers the ultimate steak experience in a tranquil and relaxed space. You can even look forward to a touch of theatre, with our talented chefs cooking on a fire in the restaurant using ash wood to give an intense heat with minimal smoke. Several wonderful breeds are featured, including Highland, Angus and Wagyu. All our steaks undergo a 30 dry ageing process ensuring the best balance of tenderness and taste.

We also have Babar, a casual dining space which offers great food, wine, cocktails and a choice of 60 craft gins. This eclectic space is perfect for relaxing with friends and also offers a lovely Sunday lunch. You can also treat yourself to a scrumptious afternoon tea if you are feeling indulgent.
