If you're on the hunt for incredible steak and meat selections in Bristol, you'll want to book a table at Pasture. This fantastic restaurant is decorated with flagstone floors and has warm, low lighting and an open kitchen that showcases charcoal grills and the dry ageing cabinets. The Bristol location is the chain's very first restaurant, and has continued to be a popular choice with those in Bristol. Beef is sourced from the very best farms in the southwest and the team only purchase suckled native breeds of beef, before dry ageing it for a minimum of 35 days.
Begin with a delicious cocktail, such as the Coconut and Pineapple with white rum, coconut, pineapple, lemon, clarified milk and Champagne. The short rib croquettes are very popular nibbles, and sit atop a splodge of gochujang aioli. The starters include char siu pork belly with puffed crackling, competition BBQ sauce and sauerkraut, the Cornish crab with brown crab chawanmushi, toasted brioche, yuzu lime, apple and kohlrabi, and beetroot tartare with whipped cashew, coal roast beetroots, preserved beetroot, elderberry gel and fennel cracker.
The steaks are, of course, the showstoppers. The house cuts are large cuts for two to share and are cut fresh everyday, meaning they vary in weight and you will choose your cut of chateaubriand, tomahawk or porterhouse from the blackboard. Every time you choose a house cut, you will enjoy two sauces and two sides, which may be the truffle fries with aged gouda or fried broccoli with cashew yoghurt and mushroom XO sauce. The chocolate dome is one of Pasture's most popular desserts, made with dark chocolate cremeux, chocolate brownie, hazelnuts, molten caramel sauce and toffee ice cream.
