Neil Rankin (formerly of Pitt Cue Co and Smokehouse) meat-focused site in Soho, specialising in rare breeds.

Specialist breeds such as beer-fed Dexter beef and Berkshire pork is on offer - alongside meat carved from whole pigs, goats and sheep as well as cuts of beef, smoked ribs, kofte and shawarma - in a choice of 100g cuts designed to be combined with a range of seasonal vegetable dishes including heritage tomatoes, peach and mint; grilled leeks, provolone, pickled herb stalks, hot honey; and aubergine with oregano, preserved lemon and tahini.

The main dining space in the restaurant’s basement is dominated by the 4.5m open fire pit, with 42-covers sitting at a counter built around it. In addition to this downstairs dining room there is a seven-seat taco bar upstairs - which helps to eliminate waste — with the tortillas made using beef fat from the grill, animal juices go into the restaurant’s butter and bones used to make the broth. Open Monday to Saturday 12 to 10pm and Sundays 11am to 6pm.
