    FLAT IRON OPENS IN CARNABY STREET

    Flat Iron
    After their successful Pop-Ups, new steak restaurant Flat Iron has moved to a permanent location in the heart of Carnaby, with still only one dish on the menu - a little known butcher's cut called ‘the flat iron’.
    Flat Iron began life as a belief by Charlie 'Beef' Carroll that really great steak could be made available to all, without breaking the bank:

    "I always thought it was a shame that the only way to guarantee an amazing steak was to pay eye-watering prices, and that was something I wanted to change. The flat iron cut has been massively overlooked in the past and if expertly butchered, has a tenderness second only to fillet".

    The development into a full blown restaurant has also included designing a new kitchen built around the super focused menu. The dining room is designed by Ben Chapman, mastermind of Ben Spalding’s hotly awaited new project in Islington, The John Salt.

    Still taking drinks seriously as well, a tight and focused wine list with great options to complement the beef is also on hand, together with a careful selection of craft beers and cocktails.
