Flat Iron are pleased to announce that they will be opening a restaurant on Castle Street next summer. Located on one of the Liverpool’s most historic and architecturally significant streets, the 100-cover restaurant will bring their single-minded commitment to serving remarkable steak at an affordable price to the heart of Liverpool.
The restaurant’s concise menu is led by the signature ‘Flat Iron’ steak, taken from the often-overlooked featherblade, known for its flavour, tenderness and juiciness when seam butchered with skill and care. The menu will also feature a rotating board of specials, including Wagyu daily specials and a green chilli cheeseburger made using beef from the Flat Iron herd in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Sides will include Flat Iron’s beef dripping chips, creamed spinach, truffled macaroni cheese and crispy bone marrow garlic mash.
A curated selection of wines will make up the drinks list, including Flat Iron’s very own Malbec, specially blended by the Flat Iron team using grapes grown in the Limoux area of the Languedoc in southern France. Alongside the wine list sits a selection of draft beers and Flat Iron’s signature cocktails.
Set within a characterful Grade II listed building, the site was originally built in the 1930s as the headquarters of the Royal Liver Assurance. Designed by Macaulay Sinclair, the interior will take subtle cues from this layered history while staying true to Flat Iron’s warm, comfortable and welcoming aesthetic. Lofty ceiling heights, honest materials and soft lighting will create an open yet inviting atmosphere throughout. A central bar will anchor the room and set an easy flow between the bar and dining area.
Speaking of the opening, Flat Iron’s Head of Beef Fred Smith said: “Our mission has always been simple: to offer remarkable, carefully sourced steak at an affordable price. Liverpool has been on our wish list for a long time and we’re excited to finally bring Flat Iron to the city and join its incredible food scene.”
