    So today is my birthday and after work I shall dine at Hawksmoor. Two questions:

    1. Which cut/weight of meat should I feast on?
    2. Good bars in the vicinity of Seven Dials that I could visit pre-dinner?

    Check what's chalked on the boards. I'd be inclined to go for the Porterhouse. Minimum 350 grams, 500 for preference. You need the bone marrow on the side, naturally. A Shakey Pete's is a great cocktail to get you started.

    As for bars... you know where Seven Dials is, do you? It's, like, Covent Garden, dude. There's a bar every 10 paces or so.

    Happy birthday R.

    1. A **** off big one
    2. Always been a fan of the Two Brewers on Monmouth Street - can get a bit packed but proper old school pub. End of Endell Street, the Craft Beer Co has a rather fine selection if you want that sort of thing

    Appreciate the recommendations. There are bars and there a good bars. Was going to go to Radio Rooftop but went once and it was a bit ****.

    Thank you. I’m with the fiancée so not sure what she’ll make of an old school boozer. Talking of them though, can I just make mention of Ye Olde Watling oh Watling St (on corner of Bow Lane).

    I think you are working on pre-decimal Do you want the man to gnaw on a bone? 750g minimum, 1kg for preference. I assume he'll be sharing. A Porterhouse at 350g is a T-bone, no?

    Apologies, I was thinking in net terms.

    Dunno about bars, but I like pubs with a bit of atmosphere or character such as the Cross Keys on Endell Street, Lamb & Flag on Rose Street, and the Porterhouse on Maiden Lane which is huge but has lots of little snugs.

    LA already mentioned the poncey craft beer place which might be more your kind of thing.

    A man who knows steak would order the ribeye, grain fed beef, of course. None of this grass fed nonsense.

    With chips, preferably truffled. And creamed spinach.

    The perfect steak dinner.
