Brought to you by the same team at The Dead Pigeon Pub & The Greedy Banker Pub, Boeuf is a unique experience that elevates this popular French/Belgian dish.Through heavy research and years of knowledge working with beef we bring to you quite possibly the best cut of steak; Sirloin Pavé. This is a rare, premium cut of beef which has the same juicy tenderness of a fillet steak with the rich beefy flavour of a sirloin.Our menu is precise and to the point but there is no need to do more when we have the best of everything all on one plate.What makes our steak frites experience unique is we serve you the steak frites twice. Yes that’s right double steak frites!Please note due to the size of the restaurant we are unable to accommodate pushchairs or high chairs. There is also no children's menu.

Weather was amazing, so we decided to sit out the front of the pub in the sunshine. Shared a bottle of wine and all enjoyed the Lamb Rogan Josh, which was absolutely amazing. Will definitely return for curry alone.
