Black Iron

Black Iron is a modern restaurant, steakhouse and bar, celebrating the very best of British. Tucked away in leafy parkland at Winstanley House, an imposing Georgian grade II listed hotel and venue, Black Iron prides itself on it’s amazing team, great food and drink and faultless surroundings.

The centrepiece of Black Iron is their charcoal-fired oven, which treats the premium produce on offer with the first-class cooking method it deserves. Their locally sourced dishes harken back to the way food used to be prepared; cooking over fire is a primitive technique that lets the top-quality ingredients speak for themselves.
