Hill & Szrok

Carcasses hanging from the smart refrigerated window of Hill & Szrok are a clear statement of intent at this self-proclaimed ‘master butcher and cookshop’. Free-range and rare-breed meats from small farms are its stock in trade, but four evenings a week (Wed-Sat) and at lunch on Sundays, the shop turns into a cosy no-bookings eatery, where customers can order their own cuts from the blackboard. Bag one of the benches or pitch up at the marble workstation, which functions as a communal dining table. To start, super-soft potted chicken is accompanied by pickled carrots and onions, while the main event could be a perfectly seared steak or succulent seven-hour roasted lamb plus a dollop of refreshing mint crème fraîche. With bubbly service and great-value wines by the glass, Hill & Szrok is a perfect addition to Broadway Market’s foodie enclave.

Hill & Szrok is a whole carcass butcher and cookshop that's located in Broadway Market in East London. Whilst you may walk in to find that you're surrounded by raw meats, come nighttime, the marble chopping block is wiped clean and set for 12, before being laid with candles and ready for dinner service. Butcher Tom Richardson Hill, chef Alex Szrok and manager Luca Mahiszig-Lee will take good care of you, presenting you with a blackboard menu that includes a small selection of classics and some more interesting finds that have been sourced from small farms.

Expect to find a few steak options, duck breast, thick chops, spit roasted pork leg, house cured bacon sausages, lamb rocks, hearts, tongues and tails on the menu. There's always dessert, plenty of cheese, and good wine too. The best part about Hill & Szrok? You’ll get the chance to find out exactly where your food comes from.
