Flat Iron announces Clapham expansion

Steak restaurant brand Flat Iron is opening its first south London restaurant later this year.

Located in the heart of Clapham Old Town at 18-19 The Pavement, the 130-cover restaurant builds on Flat Iron's expansion programme, having recently announced it will open in Scotland next year.

Overlooking Clapham Common, the restaurant spans two floors with 114 internal covers. An outdoor terrace will seat an additional 16 covers.

As in all Flat Iron restaurants, the menu will be led by the flat iron steak, a cut sourced from the feather blade. A rotating board of blackboard specials will also feature, including Wagyu daily specials and a burger, made using beef from the Flat Iron herd in Thirsk, Yorkshire.

Sides will include Flat Iron’s beef dripping chips, bone marrow mash, truffled macaroni cheese and creamed spinach. 

“Opening a restaurant in Clapham, my home, will be special," says Flat Iron’s head of beef Fred Smith. "I grew up in the area and witnessed firsthand the evolution of the high street. Many years ago, there was a butcher’s shop (Moens, now a few doors down) on this site that my family would visit regularly, so to be bringing the beef back has extra meaning. We’ll create something special for this new restaurant to mark the occasion, after all it is going to be my new local. We are delighted to soon be part of Clapham’s evolution by joining the thriving local hospitality scene and by serving remarkable steak to all Claphamites.”
