After 5 + City Pig’s
analysis
If you are wondering whether
to come here or not, you must be not fussy and enjoy the minimal choice there
is. Don’t invite your veggie friends unless you want them to starve. No need to
even know anything about steak, since there is only one type on the menu except
that on the specials, we got wagyu!
The steak was tender,
thinly sliced on the iron board and is easy to chew. The steak lacked the meaty
flavours but was still enjoyable for the price paid. It comes with a very small
portion of salad. It was enough food at the time but after a few hours I was
peckish! The chips were crispy and cooked very well.
Other interesting quirks,
was that popcorn is served as a nibble for free in a cup. Sauces have to be
paid at £1 and a good range of soft drinks like ginger beer and rose lemonade
are available. There are no desserts on the menu but there is a basement bar.
Flat iron attracts a
lot of attention as it is purse friendly and provides some simple grub. Come
early as there are no reservations and be prepared to sit close to fellow
diners.
