It’s the best place in the world. It’s the whole experience sitting at the bar and eating the best food, but mainly the people that work here that makes this place so good. They create an amazing atmosphere. I feel like I live there, just can’t stay away!
The word "burger" doesn't quite fit for a burger from the Butcher's Tap and Grill. But it's not helpful if I say everything is delicious, even if it's absolutely true.
I had a Double Cheese + BBQ Brisket Burger and the wife had Buttermilk Fried Chicken Caesar Burger. The smokey flavor of my first bit was divine and I just kept finding new flavours every time I had a flash of concentration. The brisket is beefy the red cabbage leveled and colourful. We found the matradee is top notch as well as all the other staff.
I would now always order bacon with the meal as a must try and take my food off the wrapping as I had started eating it in my haste.
I look forward to the occasion I get to try a T-Bone.
A surprising find on a Friday night.
My Wife and I stumbled upon this place by chance as we were in town for a wedding. From the outside it seems like a generic pub. The menu outside the entrance hints there there is something different - ribs, interesting burgers, and the ability to buy meat to take home; our interest was piqued.
We went in to find the place fairly busy. Not packed, but there were only perhaps two tables available. A moderately trendy vibe without trying to be pretentious. Jeans and t shirt were as welcome as something a little smarter.
We found two seats right next to the kitchen. These were bar-type seating rather than a full table, but were plenty big enough. There was also seating outside.
The staff were friendly, if busy. Ordering was via the till. There was a good selection of beers and other drinks, but the food is certainly the main event.
The kitchen was wonderfully run by two chefs, with occasional assistance from the waiting staff. It was a pleasure to watch, seeing as we were sat right next to it.
We had deep-fried macaroni to start, they arrived as sizeable arancini-like delights covered with fresh hard cheese. The plating was perfect. My Wife had the chicken burger, which comes as a Caesar salad re-imagining with a coated chicken breast, Caesar sauce and garnishes. Mine was a pulled-pork topped beef burger with a lightly picked slaw. Their black pudding add on was wonderful. Although we didn’t partake, the meat counter has a butchers selection of meats which you can purchase to take home, or select to be cooked for you there. This includes steaks.
We spent £60 between us, including drinks which I thought was very reasonable indeed. This was a wonderful local find, vastly superior to the chains further down the high street. The food was excellent and the whole experience was memorable. I would happily seek it out if I am in the area again, and you certainly should too!
