Popeseye Steak House

You’re in someone’s converted living room. The music cuts out frequently to remind you of this, suddenly propelling your conversation into the earshot of everyone in the tiny restaurant. The place is not busy, the two members of staff just sit metres from you, staring, looking bored. The mood lighting is so moody as to make navigation difficult. At £25+ a steak, you know that this is no bargain, but with a mural of cows staring at you from the walls and with a menu so limited you wouldn’t be surprised if non-​beef orders were laughed out of the restaurant, you expect that you may be onto a hidden gem of the best steak you’ve tasted in your life.
Instead, what arrives is okay. It’s not bad, in fact I would go so far as saying it’s pretty good. However you then wonder why you’re even there. The atmosphere is terrible, there are better steak places in London and the price is slightly above average for a proper steak place.
It wasn’t that I was disgusted or anything, just that I can’t think of one reason why I’d ever go back here.

Finally went to my most local restaurant and wow! It’s like the 70’s never ended. Dated décor, dated menu and over priced wine. This place really needs to join the 20^th century and find some variety!

In a world of dizzying choices, the Popeseye is refreshingly limited. All they serve is steak and chips. Not just any steak, mind. This is succulent, juicy, bursting-​with-​flavour flesh.
In case you were wondering, ‘popeseye’ is the Scots name for rump steak, but there’s also superlative sirloin and fillet on offer here. All come from Aberdeen Angus beef which is delivered daily from Scotland and hung for 28 days.
All you will need to decide is whether you want a 6, 8, 12, 20 or 30 oz slab of steak with your chips, and how you want it cooked.
The décor here is simple and atmosphere convivial, although it’s probably a bit dead early in the week, due to its sleepy location; the footfall tends to be neighbourhood regulars and those in the know.
All in all, a bloody good find.

If you want a dish done well then pick a restaurant that only serves that one dish. The Pope’s Eye serves steak, sirloin rump or fillet, red wine, chips and all the sauces a carnivore can wish for. Puddings optional. Don’t go if you’re a vegetarian. ‘Nuff said.

If you have a prediliction for steaks then this no nonesense West London eatrie is just the right place for you, its sole raison d’etre being a celebration of prime-​grass fed Aberdeen Angus Beef which comes form the Scottish Highlands. The meat has been hung for two weeks to ensure maturity, maximum flavour and tenderness.
The restaurant it self is very simply decorated with modern prints on some very smooth plain painted walls, bare floor boards and yes you guessed it-​Tartan Table Cloths, with a open grill to view in the corner.
The look of the menu has an equally uncomplicated approach and lists a choice of steaks: — rump, Sirloin, or fillet served from 6ozs to 30 ozs. There is no salad and no starter but the steak does come with potatoe chips. If after having consumed a large steak you are still not full then there is a perfunctionary choice of desserts or cheeses. But all in all I think its worth the money you pay-​becuase the steak was delicious. Wines focus on vintage Clarets with a basic house Red starting at 11.50
