In a converted Shoreditch warehouse, Tomos Parry grills with the precision of restraint rather than spectacle, letting oak and timing speak louder than technique.

In Shoreditch, Sagardi channels Basque asador culture through wood-fired heat and dry-aged Spanish beef, letting product and flame do the talking without flourish.
