The Herd Steak Restaurant

Head down to Bathwick and you'll find yourself in a buzzy dining room where they take their cattle seriously. The Herd does that rare thing of feeling both unpretentious and genuinely excellent—no unnecessary frills, just well-sourced meat cooked with real care. You'll notice the place is always rammed with locals and visitors alike, which tells you everything. The kitchen knows what it's doing with a ribeye or sirloin, and they've got a wine list that complements the food without making you mortgage your house. It's the kind of place you go back to because the steak was brilliant and you didn't feel like you needed to take out a loan.
