Behind the counter

The Dry-Ageing Room

A glass-fronted cool room lined with salt blocks. Beef hangs on the bone with fans moving the air, and time does the rest: moisture leaves, the flavour concentrates and the meat’s own enzymes make it tender.

  • 1–2 °Cheld steady
  • 80–85%humidity
  • 24/7air moving
21days

Firmer and beefier, still clean and bright. A good first dry-aged steak.

35days

Nutty and buttery. The one we take home for ourselves.

45days

Deeply savoury, with blue-cheese edges. A few each week, for the curious.

A side can lose around a fifth of its weight to evaporation and trimming as it ages — which is why it costs more per kilo.
