The Butcher's Tap & Grill

At The Butcher's Tap & Grill, you can choose your prime cut from the counter, whether it's 28-day aged grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef, Bythburgh pork, or Suffolk Texel lamb and watch it sizzle on the grill. Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge heads this joint and has Jamie May, formerly of two-Michelin-starred Hand & Flowers, leading a team of talented butcher chefs. While your meat is cooking, kick back with a pint or a glass of wine and enjoy some crispy mac 'n' cheese bites or salted white anchovies.
