The Meat Co

This is my third time here at The Meat Co. and wouldn't mind coming back here every once in a while. The average meal per person here including a cocktail, starter, mains + service charges can go anywhere between £40 - £80 (depending if you get the steak or not). It's not the cheapest place to have steaks. I've had better steaks else where, but I do enjoy the service and the restaurant as a whole.

Today I am having the 200g Cheese Burger - £13.50, comes with chips. They forgot to ask how I wanted my beef cooked, so it came well done. They do serve decent food, I wouldn't say it's mind blowing but it's neither bad. Not much to complain about.

I would bring friends and family, they have a huge dining area. Its kids friendly and they also serve a halal menu. There's also 5pm - 9pm happy hours on selected cocktails, but it's only available on the bottom floor/ bar area.

much too expensive for the quality. service is excellent and befitting of the prices, but the food was meh and my ribeye was too fatty and thinly cut.

they have some nice cheesy and garlic breads. those were great

coming from the U.S., I'm used to high-quality steakhouses, so trying to be objective, but this was not worth it

Waited to be sat took 20 minutes....once we sat down we never even got a look our way and for the fancy place and trust me I don't mind paying for a good place ...anyways waited another 20 minutes and left once we got up they came trying to serve us... sorry too late. As someone who has worked the food service from 10 years this kind of serve is not acceptable. Don't waste your time food court inside the Westfield shopping centre has great variety and service!!!

Having spent all of my Westfield dining experiences East in Stratford, it was time to switch to West. So I did and what a way to be introduced. As you come out of Shepherds Bush and turn left onto the shopping centre concourse you are greeted by the usual suspects such as Ping Pong, Carluccio's and Busaba Eathai. I am not saying I have anything against these, in fact the latter two are favourites of mine from the high street chains. However, nothing prepared me for The Meat Co. Sometimes you just want something different, something special and I hereby serve it to you on a silver plate.

The ground floor is delightful, but you must go upstairs because the staircase is actually the beginning of the theatre that this dining experience offers. The spiral steps, enveloped with glass cased fine wine displays sets the scene of luxury. The decor reminds me of one of my favourite restaurants in Hong Kong, Wooloo Mooloo which specialises in meat too. On the ground floor, the long narrow restaurant at The Meat Co is like a subdued catwalk, all rich, sensual and velvety. The rustic colour tones are calming and sets the scene for some serious meat action.

The team behind this restaurant are no strangers to creating epic dining spaces with establishments in Dubai, Greece and Australia. For this bold step into London, there are a few things that warm my heart about this place. Firstly, it's the service, it borders on fine dining but is just informal enough to make you feel comfortable. Then there is the fact that they have my favourite wine of all time, The Chocolate Block. I was first tempted with this blended red at Drapers Arm, then in Franschhoek (its origin of creation) and now here with its subtle notes of chocolate, hence the name. It felt like all my Christmases had come early. It as decentred expertly by our lovable waiter and waited patiently until we could have our first taste. Yum.

The third thing was its two individual menus, one of which was Halal. This is an idea regularly missed out on the high street and mainstream, mostly restricted to certain areas, but I salute The Meat Co for carrying on its theme from Dubai being inclusive.

Now we arrive at my fourth favourite thing, the food. The menu is certainly not fitting for staunch vegetarians or vegans, it's all about the meat the way I like it. My now regular dining companion had the salt and pepper calamari to start. I had the peri peri king prawns and whilst this may conjure up images of Nandos, its far away from that set up. The marinade was less acidic and did not have a taste of being mass produced - sorry Nandos.

For our mains we both had fillet steak. I had mine with half a lobster to create my favourite dish of surf and turf. The waiter suggested a Portuguese side sauce which had a subtle tomato and chilli flavour, not too overpowering for the dish. Pranvera had the fillet steak topped with foie gras and a side of blue cheese sauce. The meat was prepared more on the rare side and literally melted in one's mouth. Zero veins or chewiness, just tender meat to dip into our sauces. The lobster meat was also great without any skimping on the portion. As a supporting cast to this award winning food production, we had sides of creamed spinach, chips and garlic mushrooms.

Everything about this dining experience screamed being away on holiday in some exotic city. Having travelled to Hong Kong, Singapore and New York, it did not feel like I was settled in a shopping centre next to a dual carriageway in West London. Do not be put off by its location, The Meat Co is the luxury choice for dining at Westfield.

Wagyu beef steak, topped with prawns. Cooked medium (could have gone medium-rare). Perfect.

4 stars because the other steak wasn't as good.

A lovely restaurant and something that adds glamour to the Souther Terrace Restaurants in Westfield.


Went with a friend for Sunday afternoon get your belly full meal and pleased that this place did not disappoint.


As soon as you enter there is a larger than life bar. I did not get the chance to try the cocktails as I wanted my MEAT.


Had a beer and ordered the RIBS and being a RIB CONNOISSEUR around London I have found the place that does the best RIBS in London. The Beef Ribs were to die for. The meat was falling of the bone, tender and full of flavour. They had been so slow cooked and was chewing on the bone.


I had the Vodka and Blue Cheese Dressing that was strong. Perfect.


My friend had the Waygu Beef Burger which he ate without talking to me. Watching him eat and stay quiet was hilarious as he was clearly enjoying it.


The service was good and the staff did explain the dishes very well and did not disappoint with their choices and had them spot on. I advised that I thought I knew RIBS and clearly did not till I visited here.


If you love your meat and wine the the name of the restaurant clearly explains itself.


You can chill and watch the latest London craze of Westfield buzz around you.


The meat choice were very good and different cuts of Beef were on offer. Chicken, Ribs, Fish and a Daily Changed Veggie option is also available.


Money well spent.


I am celebrating my birthday here next week with 20 other foodies and will be interested in their opinions.


Now I am looking forward to my birthday :-)

Avoid the lamb loin. I wasn't hugely hungry so avoided the steaks which in hindsight may have been a mistake.

Lovely people and a decent wine list. They served my bottle a tad warm and were very accommodating when I asked for an ice bucket to chill it down.

If you come here eat steak (or perhaps chicken I guess) but the lamb loin was underwhelming.

This place deserves a 5 star all the way! Tender juicy steak that's actually HALAL! 2 words: Wagyu beef! I've been to a lot of good steak houses since I don't eat only zabihah/halal, but this by far has been my favorite steak of all time. This place is trendy and service is good. I would go back to London even for like a day just to eat here again! If you're in London and are a halal eater, be sure to go here and order one of their wagyu steaks off the special halal menu (main menu isn't halal).

If you want steak come here, if you want halal steak come here. The starter platter is a must, with the meat cigar, calamari, and chicken wings. I took one star off because you need to stay away from the dessert, non of it is worth it, and the service is not great. But if I'm ever craving superb red meat this is the place!

Great menu I went with a a friend who only has halal meat and they had a seprate menu for this!! My friend was very happy!!

Service was very good.... in my party there was a couple of small children and the staff interacted with them and catered to them.

The food itself was very good no issues.

A place a would definitely go back to.
