As a consequence of our lacking antlers to sort matters out, mans competitive nature can lead to all manner of attempted besting between friends. One popular method is over a flame. Not by wrestling on a bonfire, but by outdoing your pal in the cooking of mans greatest culinary obsession: THE STEAK.

    Everything at The Fat Butcher was perfect, the service was absolutely great, the waiters and managers are extremely well trained. Food was delicious and the portions were big. But if you are 12 people or more you have to choose a set menu for your table. I really do understand why this is needed for large parties BUT it is really a waste to pay per person for a three-course meal if almost no-one can manage to eat it. Most people can only eat a starter and main OR a main and dessert. I recommend that they also have a set menu option for a two-course meal as a three-course is simply too much for most people. But besides this recommendation I give Fat Butcher a 10/10.
