A traditional style steakhouse, offering everything from flat iron to ribeye, rump and the rest and you can have your steak served raw on a 350-degree lava stone to let it cook just as you like it. The steak stone stays hot until you get to even the last mouthful, and cooking this way keeps in more of the natural juices.

As well as a stack of starters, there’s a selection of delicious sides to choose from, including Jerk-grilled corn ribs and salt and pepper veg, plus a choice of fries, salads and sauces. And at Aigburth, there’s the Churrasco cabin for outdoor dining, with five private booths, a personal server and, when the weather’s nice, skylights to let the sunshine in. You can even take the dog (although there’s a good chance they’ll want a mouthful of your meal too!).
