Chef Mark Hix has always had a thing for meat, and his latest venture takes things to extremes. To be precise, you can have roast chicken for one or to share, steak, chicken salad, or steak salad. (A few ‘bar snax’ include ox cheek croquettes and – the sole veggie option – radishes with celery salt.) To list so few options is beyond bold, and the produce has to be beyond good, which it is. Free-range fowl comes from Woolley Park Farm in Wiltshire; beef is from traditional British cattle breeds and is aged in a ‘Himalayan salt chamber’, the science of which is complex but results in fabulously sweet and tender steak. What’s more, unless you’re starving, the whole chook will feed three people, making it £8 per head. This is great value, especially as ‘chips’ (actually thin-cut fries) are included in the price. 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. Puds run from sweet, fragrant strawberries with Jersey cream to a fiendishly good cheesecake rippled with raspberry coulis. Staff are some of the friendliest we’ve encountered in London. Limited options doesn’t need to mean limited success, and Tramshed makes two ingredients go a long, long way.
