Cattle Steakhouse

You're walking into the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Cattle occupies a tight spot on Hanover Buildings—that stretch between the Bargate and the old town that's quietly become rather good for eating out—and does exactly what it says on the tin: excellent steaks, cooked properly, served with proper sides. Think baked potatoes, creamed spinach, béarnaise that's actually worth having. The room's got a proper neighbourhood steakhouse feel: leather, dim lighting, the sort of place where your mates in their 40s already have a regular table. At two quid signs, it's not bargain-basement, but you're not paying London markup either. The fact that 550-odd people have rated it highly suggests they've nailed consistency—that's harder than it sounds.
