SHOREDITCH STEAK AND CHICKEN
Tramshed in Shoreditch specialise in serving
some of the most scintillating steak and chicken
dishes in London.
To list so few options is beyond bold,
and the produce has to be beyond
good, which it is. Using quality-sourced
meat and poultry products, free-range
fowl and British cattle, chef Mark Hix
serves sweet, tender chicken and
steak at affordable prices. With meals
for one or for sharing from ��8 a head,
Tramshed will feed a family with great
value; fries are included in each meal.
All this meat is meted out in a turn-ofthe-century Grade II-listed industrial
building (which once housed the local
tram���s electricity generators), a vast
room with a soaring ceiling. Light
comes in through an enormous arched
window, while mezzanine levels break
up the floor space. In pride of place is a
work by Damien Hirst: a formaldehydefilled tank containing a preserved
bullock and rooster. Puddings run from
sweet, fragrant strawberries with Jersey
cream to a fiendishly good cheesecake
rippled with raspberry coulis. The staff
at Tramshed are some of the friendliest
we���ve encountered in London. Limited
options don���t need to mean limited
success, and Tramshed makes two
ingredients go a long, long way.
