The Meat Co's - Central Dr, Hornchurch

I love this place a lot and have been here quite a few times. The decor is modern and the staff are attentive to their customers. I have eaten the best steaks I have ever had in this restaurant. The ribs are particularly good, whether as starters or the main. The chips are hand cut and are almost like roast wedges in somuch as the middle is wonderfully fluffy. Its very difficult to eat here and then go to another steak joint because of the difference in quality. During my most recent visit, the quality was not quite what I usually expect but this has been the first time. All other times, it was perfect. This place is halal. Be aware that it is very expensive. A good steak will cost £40 to £50. There is no point in going for a cheap option when you come here. From memory, the rump steak is the cheapest, but really you are better off spending that little bit more money for something great. The best cheapest thing I have had here is the rib meat burger.

My favourite steak place, was taken here for my birthday and the food was exceptional. We ordered starters, mains with sides and drinks which came to just under £200 (it is very pricey due the high grade steak we chose) meals can be cheaper if you look at the less expensive options. Great place for those special occasions, halal options served here with a separate halal dinning area for those who want to avoid alcohol altogether. Food is cooked is separate from non halal items, staff are friendly and attentive. Toilets are unisex which I wasn’t fond of but wasn’t a reason to not eat here.

I ordered the beef burger (200g) along with some fries. The burger was quite large and tasted delicious. The price was quite reasonable, too. The food didn't take long to prepare and was served hot. The service was good, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. The only confusing aspect was the shared restrooms; I don't understand why they decided on gender-neutral toilets, as men, women, and children all have to use the same facilities—it's a bit odd. Aside from that, everything else during our visit was great!

The Meat Co. (formerly known as The Meat and Wine Co.) offers a completely halal menu, although alcohol is served. Given its location in the food court of Westfield Shopping Centre, one would expect the quality of food to match the high prices—particularly since the steak comes with a hefty £50 price tag. This experience highlights the importance of having skilled chefs; an expensive menu alone isn't enough. Overall, this place has its share of both strengths and weaknesses.

This restaurant is amazing! The service, ambiance, and food quality are outstanding. The chain consistently maintains its high standards across both their London and Dubai (Tribes) locations. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-notch cuisine. Dukebitez approved!
