Apologies, but there is no outside pic to accompany this post – It was lashing it down with rain throughout our short stay in London, so photo taking wasn’t an option outside…<\/div>\n

A steak restaurant chain in London, Flat Iron has quite a few branches. There isn’t a reservation option, so I am afraid if there is a line, then just go ahead and join it.<\/div>\n

Each table is given one of these. The popcorn is quite salty, but it is also pretty tasty, using beef fat to give it the flavour.<\/div>\n

I did quite want the burger, too, but figured a steak and a burger was overindulgence…<\/div>\n

These aren’t particularly useful to everyone who walks in and eats here, but I enjoyed looking at it. I have a bit of a background in cattle and sheep farming, so these things tend to (sadly) interest me.<\/div>\n

The steak is already cut for you, but doesn’t that mini clever look fun?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Let me tell you, it doesn’t seem like the most prized cut from the animal, but this steak is pretty damn good. I always get my steak Medium Rare, and this was right on the money. Cooked the perfection, seasoned beautifully and presented nicely. You should’ve seen my face when it arrived.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The chips are deep fried in beef dripping so have a beefy flavour punch that is surprising. They are also pretty good – dip them in the dreamy bearnaise sauce and you’re cooking on gas!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The spinach was good, but possibly too salty for my liking. However, it’s nice to get some greens down you.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
When you’ve paid be sure to stop by the ice cream on the way out (it is FREE, so why wouldn’t you?!).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The chocolate ice cream (only one flavour) was deliciously rich, especially when dipped into this chocolate shavings.<\/div>\n
