Tramshed, Shoreditch
Tuesday 19th March 2013 | Osh
Tramshed in Shoreditch specialise in serving some of the most scintillating steak and chicken dishes in London. To list so few options is beyond bold, and the produce has to be beyond good, which it is. Using quality-sourced meat and poultry products, free-range fowl and British cattle, chef Mark Hix serves sweet, tender chicken and steak at affordable prices. With meals for one or for sharing from £8 a head, Tramshed will feed a family with great value; fries are included in each meal. All this meat is meted out in a turn-of-the-century Grade II-listed industrial building (which once housed the local tram’s electricity generators), a vast room with a soaring ceiling. Light comes in through an enormous arched window, while mezzanine levels break up the floor space. In pride of place is a work by Damien Hirst: a formaldehyde-filled tank containing a preserved bullock and rooster. Puddings run from sweet, fragrant strawberries with Jersey cream to a fiendishly good cheesecake rippled with raspberry coulis. The staff at Tramshed are some of the friendliest we’ve encountered in London. Limited options don’t need to mean limited success, and Tramshed makes two ingredients go a long, long way.
