Iconic for its exceptional seafood and meat dishes, Beast promises an unforgettable culinary journey for those passionate about flavors that are bold, refined, and meticulously crafted.
At Beast, the spotlight shines on locally sourced meats and seafood that are elevated with remarkable finesse. Signature dishes, such as the melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu steak and the succulent Norwegian King Crab legs, showcase the kitchen’s dedication to both quality and taste. The crab tacos are a revelation—soft, luxurious, and bursting with fresh, oceanic flavor. For seafood lovers and carnivores alike, these offerings deliver an indulgent, deeply satisfying experience.
Complementing the main courses are a selection of exquisite desserts that provide a sweet finale to your meal. The Cheeseboard featuring Yorkshire Blue, Keens Cheddar, and Baron Bigod presents a sophisticated palate cleanser, while the Vanilla Crème Brûlée and Dark Chocolate Mousse—accompanied by raspberries coulis—deliver velvety richness that lingers delectably on the tongue. The Apple Semifreddo with Amaretti crumble offers a delicate balance of creaminess and crunch, inviting diners to savor every bite.
The beverage program at Beast is equally impressive. Their handcrafted cocktails are artfully composed classics with a modern twist. The Lychee & Flower Sidecar is elegant and perfumed, blending Hennessy VS Cognac, St. Germaine, and lychee to create a spirited, fragrant infusion. The Centre Court cocktail offers a sparkling, succulent experience with wild strawberry-infused vodka paired with Dosnon champagne, striking a perfect harmony between freshness and sophistication.
For those seeking non-alcoholic delights, Beast’s inventive mocktails like the Virgin Mary and Golden Breeze bring vibrant flavors that are balanced and refreshing, ensuring every guest finds a tailored libation to complement their meal.
The dining atmosphere at Beast is strikingly evocative—a candlelit Tudor-style hall with long wooden tables that conjure images of a regal banquet. This ambiance creates a warm, inviting setting that perfectly matches the bold, robust flavors on the plates. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a culinary extravaganza, guests repeatedly highlight the attentive, knowledgeable service, with staff such as Amjad, Deborah, Nicaleta, Paolo, Csaba, and Hartwa going above and beyond to make each visit memorable.
Patrons often recount their experiences as nothing short of spectacular. “A BEAST of a meal,” Daniel H raved, recalling the inspiring atmosphere paired with pristine dishes. Another guest, Sunkyu Han, emphasized the standout quality of the Wagyu steak and praised the attentive team, while Ally Gale was captivated by the scallops and cocktails, remarking on the exceptional team effort that made her evening special.

Amazing restaurant with very high quality steaks and excellent service. The staff are very attentive and our experience was memorable. We came for a birthday celebration and the wagyu steak was fantastic. Would definitely visit again and one of our new favourite steakhouses.

Visited Beast Restaurant for the first time a few weeks ago and had an absolutely amazing experience! The food was outstanding — the scallops in the shell were to die for! Cocktails and service were divine. A big thank you to Nicaleta, Paolo, Csaba and Hartwa — such an incredible team who truly make the restaurant experience extra special. Can’t wait to return!

From the moment we entered the restaurant, until we left we had a magnificent experience. The food and wine combination was amazing. Gabriele chose fantastic wines to complement each dish. Paolo helped us to select the meats that suited our taste and each dish was sourced locally which pleased us all. He provided us with good recommendations such as the crab which was mouthwatering. I would highly recommend the oysters with glass of champagne or the rib-eye steak with a red wine chosen by Gabriele. The combination was mouthwatering. We were a group of 4 and the atmosphere was perfect.

5⭐ - A BEAST of a meal. If you've ever dreamed about having a Henry VIII style banquet in a candle-lit Tudor style dining hall with long wooden tables then you have to come here ("Run, don't walk). Wow. My friend and I enjoyed an absolutely spectacular feast at Beast dining on melt-in-the-mouth Norwegian King Crab legs and delicious crab tacos, soft as butter USDA Prime Nebraska bone in Rib-Eye steak with incredible truffle chips, tomato and onion salad and cauliflower salad all finished off with some of the best ice cream and sorbet we've ever had (Their salted caramel Ice cream and lychee sorbet were both so good we ordered extra!). Apart from the world class food what really made the night was the phenomenal service from Maitre D Luca, Front of House Martina and our amazing waitresses Rochele and Deborah who looked after us like VIP Royalty. Can't wait to come back here again. Highly recommended 10/10

You’ve done it again. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday feel properly special. This is why it’s always our go-to for celebrating.

Really nice restaurant - we chose the lunch menu and the crab was a standout element of the meal. It was so tasty! The steaks, chips and sauces were all nice but none of them stood out as much as the crab. It felt slightly overpriced. The lunch menu was strange because it's set and £80, and normally this would be a reduced price, but it's exactly the same value as if you ordered it off the menu. The seating isn't great. You sit on long, banquet style tables, so you're elbow to elbow with strangers or sit next to each other (no opposite). I'm not sure why they've done this, rather than letting everyone have their own table like normal. The staff were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. They also brought out a special birthday dessert, as it was a birthday celebration.

I’m very happy to share that this restaurant truly stands out as one of the best in the area. From the moment we arrived “without a booking” the team was welcoming and went out of their way to arrange a table for us. The receptionist was exceptionally kind, and Aaron offered outstanding service throughout our visit. The food was equally impressive; the miso aubergine, in particular, was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend it.
