• ‘Best steak in the world’ is now available in Chelsea

   

  Meat-lovers pay attention: the best steak in the world has arrived in London, or at least according to Spanish meat master José Gordón, who’s spent his whole life in the quest for the perfect cut.

  Following his stint at Meatopia last year, where he brought his renowned beef steaks to the UK for the first time, José Gordón will be now be serving his legendary carpaccio, flank steak and more in Chelsea’s The World’s End Market.

  It’s a rare

• Hawksmoor have a new bar snack - The steak slice

  

  Let's hope you've eaten before you cast your eyes on this wondrous-looking item. This, my friends, is their Steak Slice - a meat pasty that knocks the original pastry item that inspired it into a distant cocked hat.

  It's available at all Hawksmoor bars, but only for the month of November. To buy one costs £20 and it consists of a 200g 35-day-aged rare-breed ribeye, slow-braised with red

• A steak and wine pop-up is coming to the Newman Arms

  

  We're very much liking the sound of an imminent pop-up coming to the Newman Arms in Fitzrovia. The whole thing has come about as a partnership between Matt Chatfield (Cornwall Project) will supply the beef and veg, Zeren Wilson the wine and front of house will be Jon Cannon-Gierth (ex Simon Rogan & Tom Sellers). 

  The whole thing has come about as a partnership between Matt Chatfield - he's supplying the beef and

• Bar + Block steak restaurant opening in King’s Cross

  

  23/11/16 - Updated with soft launch details

  The surge of King’s Cross restaurant openings continues this November with Bar + Block, a steak restaurant set to open on York Way. It's taking over a large space that's part of the King's Cross Premier Inn (just opposite The Fellow, where Thyme used to be) and does still appear to be associated with the hotel (they also have one in Birmingham). It's having a massive

• M restaurants are putting 175 day aged beef on the menu

  

  It's what they're calling "extreme aged beef". M Restaurants are challenging just how long you really should age beef for by putting 175-day aged USDA Prime Rib Eye on the menu. And they say that the effect of this long-term aging is that "the resulting flavour is unique - punchy, beefy and almost cheesy in taste."

  So if you fancy some of that cheesy beef, it's on the menu from September at £17.50 for 100g (with a

• Zelman Meats has opened at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge

  

  We're big fans of Zelman meats, so it's very good news indeed that this week sees a second Zelman opening. This time, they've gone west, setting up shop on the Fifth Floor of Harvey Nichols (taking over the spot where Polpo used to be). It's billed as a residency, so we're not sure how long they'll be there, but you now have Zelman Meats AND Burger & Lobster next door to each other (they're both from the same

  After bringing a BBQ supper club to a garden in Clapham, pop-up champion Jimmy Garcia is staying in the area, but heading back to his usual haunt, The Lodge, to create a surf and turf feasting menu. And feast really is the operative word - think five sumptuous courses, sand bucket cocktails, 10-pint beer

• Cafe Rouge have put a huge 32oz Bull's Head steak on their menu

  

  As anyone who likes a good steak dinner in London will know, such tastes can run to rather pricey meals. So it'll be interesting to see what Cafe Rouge's 32oz 35-day dry aged Charolais Cote Du Boeuf 'Bull's Head' sharing steak is going to be like, particularly if your usual budget doesn't stretch to Hawksmoor or Goodman.

  The meat in question is British-bred Charolais pure breed steak. For £45 you'll get this, Parisian style frites, buttery spinach and a choice
