A very different review for everyone today. I head down to Leicester Square in London for the final time for a few weeks to go to Steak and Company. They have a very unique experience that allows you use to hot-stone, meaning that I will be cooking today... wish me luck!

Hi Gary, Ash here, I met you outside Charing Cross the other day. I was the tour guide. So nice to chat. You're channel is great mate. Hope to bump into you again!
Hi Ash, great to hear from you again and lovely to chat. Wish you all the best with your touring!!
@@GaryEats Would you be able to do a Q&A vidoe sometime about your life and how you ended up making /choosing to make youtube vidoes ? ( Questions & Answers)
@@michaelhawkins7389that would be great
Nah you guys are usually a couple of years late 😂😂😂😂😂 just kidding
Yes Michael. Coming in a couple of months!
3 certainties in life......Tax, Death and Gary nearly bumping into someone getting to his food! 🤣🤣
Everytime!!
Why doesn't the death and tax apply to Polaris the north star ?
Yeah, but he was looking at his computer(phone) instead of looking where he was going like many people nowadays.
I'm American, but I still click as fast as a Brit when Gary uploads!!!
Nice one ! You beat me to it 👍💯🇬🇧
I really appreciate you watching from across the pond
Me too! Love this guy!
Watching from Chicago!
We all bleed the same colour.
That's a new one on me..cooking it yourself. Just as long on your way out, they don't ask you to do the washing up as well.
I'll gladly skip that one Jimbob lol
Haha yes 😂
@@GaryEatsdo they discount the price as you're cooking yourself?
😄😄😄
On a hot rock is a really nice way to eat and stops people complaining about this and that
Gary you're one the best KZheadrs outhere your jolly attitude and smile really contagious. Really happy for you man
That’s so very kind and I really appreciate that comment thank you 👍😊
Who needs Gordon Ramsay when you have Gary..who seems to be one of the most genuine and nicest people on KZhead 😊
That’s so very kind Ronnie thank you
Ronnie that's a fair comment mate
Yep I absolutely second that .Beautiful human being xx
It’s Gary Saltbae Eats to you 😂
If you are going to do a Salt Bae with the salt roll up your sleeve.
Always a treat when you upload a new video. Greetings from Canada. Have a great day everyone.
I really appreciate that Bino, have a lovely evening
portugues no canada ahahah?
Hello Canada🇨🇦from🇬🇧👍
❤❤❤
Gary is awesome. His videos are great and he kind of reminds me of a British Bob Ross. Positive and kind. He is the happy little tree of restaurant reviewers.
That means a lot and thank you so much
This put a smile on my face. Love the banter between you and the camera man. Super video. Thank you for sharing sweet x😊
😊 thank you Butterfly. How are you doing?
@@GaryEats I'm good thank you Gary. I really enjoyed this video and I haven't been that well lately but watched and loved the Georgian one too. Beautiful little place. Thank you for your hard work and good sense of humour. How's you besides full up ? lol x 😊
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been well but I hope you feel better soon. Better times are on the way and very full up, thanks for watching 😃
@@GaryEats Thank you Gary much appreciated. Bet you are full up but love the content of your videos and look forward to your next. All the best sweet x 😊
Fantastic value for that part of London
Shocked at the value. Fish and Chips 12.95 with a side as well
Love how you say sorry at the beginning to a person not looking where he was going with that sack barrow! You are Mr.Politeness personified Gary!
Lol thank you, I think it's the British in me
Mr DHL
He was probably concentrating on the delivery route being displayed on the device he was holding.
Apologising when someone bumps into you is a classic British trait that i do too lol. In my head i'm swearing at them for being clumsy though😂
Quite right, Gary! Your "sorry" reaction defines you as British. I do it all the time. People have actually laughed their heads off at me abroad, but I couldn't care less. We are the country of good manners, and long may we remain so.
Keep up the great work Gary and its nice too see them subs going up and up great work 🎉🎉
Thanks Steven 👍
This is mine and my fellas fave place to eat. Fun experience the stone cooking, but even to go for a steak cooked by the chefs is really good too. You can ask them for another stone if it goes cold and they will give you another one. Glad you tried and enjoyed it. ❤ x
Brilliant stuff and completely agree, thank you
When you do your Irish tour, there are two fish and chip shops near each other in Howth, which is reachable via public transport.(DART Light rail) or Bus. - One is Beshoffs and the other one is Leo Burdocks. Both have long histories in Dublin.
Is Leo the oldest one?
@@GaryEats You want to go to the Leo Burdocks by Christchurch. It is the original one freom 1913. I'm from Ireland too.😊
Gary does Salt Bae while cooking his steak just made my day, thank you.
Lol please don't remind me how bad it was Patrick
Gary forgot to wrap it in gold foil, which was why he got a 3
Before I watched this review Gary I watched one by another food reviewer who's been around a while,sadly it was full of waffle and I skipped through most of it. Your review was waffle free,no self promotion and just perfect..well done mate,keep it up😊
Thank you that’s very kind and really appreciated
Well its a steak review, not sure why you'd expect waffles.
Who'd have thought there's a decent steak place in Leicester Square?! When I was a kid there was an Aberdeen Angus place there that was a notorious tourist trap rip-off. Another entertaining review Gary.
I've been, A big tourist trap and would advise against
Yes Aberdeen Angus 😂😂😂😂😂 that brings back memories !!
I remember it well, and being locals we steered well clear of it 😀😀
Outstanding value for that part of London. Looks fantastic and it’s nice to see something a bit different with the stone cooking. A great dining experience I’m sure
Very good value Andy
Love this channel ❤
Glad you enjoy it John
Another enjoyable video Gary, been in here many times and been in all 4 locations as well! Lovely food/drink, + really good staff etc Look fwd to the next video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Mike and also glad you like the restaurant
Always love watching your videos mate. Honest, simple and to the point.
Glad you like them Mike!
He's so British 🇬🇧❤... We always apologise, even when it was the DHL guy not looking where he was going 😂 I remember apologising for bumping into someone in Primark... After not hearing a response to my courteous apology i looked back to see who it was to find it was actually a mannequin 🤦🏻♀️😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 how embarrassing
That made me burst out laughing lol
@@hazelduerdoth4333 Very! 😫😂 lol
@@vampdiva6878Who was the real dummy?! 😺
@@LANCSKID Nice one!! 😂👌🏼
Don't worry Gary mash undoubtly made with truffle oil that has never seen a truffle sythec 2,4 plus flavorings. Glad you liked them though.
Lol thanks Derrick
Love watching your videos gary thankyou for this always love to see your score
Thanks Julie 👍
Brilliant upload - so interesting with the own cooking slabs! Noticed you wearing a jumper brand which was an old favourite of mine but not seen it in many years.
Hi Matt thank you. I got this top very cheap and hope you like it 😃
Looked very nice & I'm pleased you fed the cameraman 😊
😋 pleased!? He's lucky he's being fed after saying it's 3 lol

Hello Mr Gary, hope you are well, my good friend 🙋🏻♂️. Always a pleasure to be in your company. 👍🌟💯 This got me in stitches! Lol 🤣😂 9:02
Thank you kindly Asad lol!!
This looked brilliant I’d love to try this Great video as usual gary
Many thanks Neil
Can't wait for you to come to Ireland for some reviews!
Can’t wait to come to Ireland
I'd go there just to dip the bread into the sauce...love that type of thing...bread with mussels white sauce is a favorite
Very very nice David
When a food can bring you back in Spain for some great memories and flavor, thats a great dish then. Thanks for the video Gary.
No problem thank you for watching and commenting Spain 🇪🇸
Great video gary, enjoyed this one a lot! Good to see the camera man getting a feed, although after that 3, I don’t think he’ll be getting treated anytime soon!
Thanks David, not sure he deserved it lol 👍
Great idea..never been to that type of restaurant...looked lovely..ty for sharing Gary 🎉
Thanks for watching!! And your lovely comments as always
Another great video Gary love you having a laugh with the camera man, great value I thought love the prawns, keep up the good work
Thanks so much Caroline
Looks good Gary well done, 8 most probably the correct score.keep up the great work mate.
Thanks Harold 👍
Wow Gary internationally famous! Much deserved watch every video!
Lol thank you for tuning in every video ,it really means a lot
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
All Gary needs to do is start his show with 'Ahaaaaa' and everything will be complete. Brilliant stuff Gary, thank you.
Lol thank you so much
Great channel 👏 thanks for making it so interesting. Really appreciate your efforts 👌 also Great camera man..
That’s really kind and appreciated thank you
Great review Gary. Top quality service and for me, not come across hot stone cooking, so this was a novel experience; one I enjoyed. Definitely worth the experience. Your cooking of the steak was top notch. Many thanks for sharing with us. Much appreciated 👍👍👍
Andreas, as always you are more than welcome
Cheers Gary another great video,you could of cooked the steak in the garlic and chill oil from the prawns 👍
Great idea Nicholas, wow I should have thought of that
You have a really friendly way about you. Love watching you review food :)
Thank you so much 🙂 that’s very kind
Thanks Gary for another great review 👌
That’s very kind of you
Hi Gary, definitely great value and quality. For me, restaurant gets a solid 8/10. The steak is proper medium-rare, so perfect 10/10…well done mate!!
You’re my new best friend 😊
3:26 Gary is choosing mushrooms in his mashed tatters!
Lol

@@melanytodd2929 🤣🤣🤣🤭
Amazing skills on show here, Mr Gary. Not even prime Marco Pierre White during his time at Harvey’s could hold a candle to your culinarily prowess 😂 Much love, great vid x
Top man and thank you. Watch out Marco 😎
Superb review Gary! Lovely to see a bit of a combo with the bread and oil..Also loving Salt Gary…!!
Thank you!! My useless impression won't win any supporters lol
Thanks for another entertaining review, Gary. The place looks good, but the prices are beyond eye-watering 😵💫
I thought for location the price wasn’t that bad 🤷♂️
Looked a bit of fun and reasonably priced. For me just lacked a green veg.
That’s completely fair
Gary is a nice guy when he comes to sharing food with others 😀
I won't be nice after this one Siva, the cameraman is getting very cheeky
@@GaryEats 😂
Good choice of venue again Gary. The variety keeps it so interesting and top marks to the chef. I hear he is an absolute legend.
I agree Nick, cheques in the post 😂
As usual, a great review, really enjoyable and thank you, Gary. Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike
That mash along with the prawns sauce looked to die for.i also liked the look of the steak it looked yummy to me! Fabulous gary! Positivity peace and love ♥️
They were really good!!
Gary ... every prawn you eat in London will have been frozen at some point in its journey. A completely fresh 'never-frozen' prawn so far inland would not last long enough to make it to your table without much U-bend antics later. FYI. Want fresh seafood? ... eat it BY the sea (and even then it's probably been flash frozen in many places ... tis the nature of the beast :)
Of course, fully take that on board and understand

@@Battismore-Blueboat mate
Another cracking review. Good on ya mate.
Thanks so much 👍
Thank you Gary, solid 9 from me. Interesting idea but prefer to have somebody else cooking my meal. Saying that you made a great job of it. Enjoyed the camera man interaction. Lovely upload as usual, looking forward to visiting your restaurant when it opens lol 👍👍👍
Kev no more restaurants for me lol too old now and thank you very much for the great comment 👍👍
Yet again another great video as always. Personally I would give the chef nine out of ten. Just remember look after the cameraman you cant do without him. 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Douglas, I try my best to but he's a cheeky bugger
Won’t be long and you’ll be at 100k subs 😀😀😀😀
Fingers crossed Hazel
This is one of my husbands favourite meals here in PT, here they give you a raw steak and 3 little dips and butter for around £16 and yes you should put the whole steak on the stone. Glad you enjoyed it, very nice setting.
Thank you Susan , hope you’re well see you soon 👌
Amazing value and a great review
Glad it was helpful!
The inexorable advance to 100k subscribers and beyond! Bravo.
Fingers crossed! Thank you so much
A million in a couple’0 months. I’ll bet my Ferrari on it. 😂👍
Can I have that Ferrari, Philip lol
@@GaryEats What would a bloke our age do or want with a Ferrari? My Toyota Yaris is all I need!!! 🤣😂🤣👍
This reminds me of the time 2 years ago, my wife ordered a steak in a popular chain, up north somewhere. It came in a pan which had obviously been to Sizewell B. The steak was a charred mess. After apologising they brought out another, exactly the same! I explained that steak is cooked as requested taken out of the nuclear reactor and then rested for a few minutes. The young waiter looked at us with a bemused look and just said -" Thats how we do it here" Never again.
Yeah, I hear you. I can't stand that burned char. I just left a comment about the cooking of steak. Have a look.
That is shocking Robin
Glad to see your subscriber base increasing :) You definitely deserve it. Love your videos, I will always watch your videos to chill in the evening and hitting the like button of corse! Iv been tempted to make a 2 hour drive to one place you have reviewed in the past too! 👍🏼🍻
That’s very kind which restaurant?
@@GaryEats It was Neil Morriseys pub I think was called the plume Inn? I love going to quirky pubs and trying their food but that scotch egg starter looked incredibly tasty! I will eventually go there and hope they still have that on the menu!
How brilliant was that it made me smile and Gary you smiled all the way through. The steak looked delish. I loved that vlog. Thanks Gary for all the effort you put in.
Very kind Pam this was a bit of fun
The perfect location for a tourist trap, with prices to match. Gimmick. Check. Smallish portions. Check. High prices, even for the set menu. Check. Have to cook it yourself. Check. Forty quid, without a drink, is too much for a lunch bill. 6/10
Set menu is not expensive but the rest fair enough
@@GaryEats £27.50 for a small steak and some mash is hardly a bargain. Or maybe I'm just a tight arse? 😁
The steak stone experience is more expensive granted but £15.95 for steak chips and sauce is excellent value for the location
@@GaryEats Ah, I missed that bit. Agreed, that's not so bad.
Don’t get soft on the Service Charge Gary: It should be a choice, not an obligation. Remember that staff should be being paid properly in the first place. Additionally, where is their motivation if it is mandatory? Fight it.
But then the staff suffer if you don't tip. Especially in London where it becomes a backbone of the wage
Of course and understand that, I’m not a fan of it
Tips in Canada are expected to be 18 to 25% on bills that are already very inflated since Covid. It really is bordering on the ridiculous. I appreciated being in Spain where tipping wasn’t encouraged and meals were reasonably priced.
Thanks for another great review Gary😊The prawn dish is similar to the Spanish dish Gambas pil pil / Gambas al ajillo on the menu in Spain at restaurants and Chiringuitos on the beach!
It’s extremely similar Sarah, that was in my mind as well
That looked so good Gary. Mash looked out of this world. Keep going Gary
Thanks Mark 👍
The $64k dollar question is - are we ever going to see the cameraman ? The Stig of the food channel world ! 🤣12.5% service charge ? They should be paying you, you had to cook your own steak lol !!
He could be replaced after that score 😂
Probably should replace him before he wastes away on the job
Gary, the self-cooking facility, reminded me of a fashion in London around the 1990s. Do you remember the brief flourish of "Mongolian Barbecue" restaurants? Basically, you would pick up a plate and walk over to a salad-bar arrangement located in the middle of the restaurant. Once there, you would choose some completely raw meat sitting piled up in a dish (which, let's face it, doesn't look particularly appetising until the cooking process starts) then you would go along the bar picking up raw vegetables and plonking them on your plate next to the meat. Finally, when you got to the end, a bloke would be standing by a griddle. You gave him the plate, and he tipped out the contents, flipped it around a few times on the hotplate, before plating it up again and handing it back to you. When it worked, it was great. Unfortunately, it didn't always work, and the food was frequently either burnt or undercooked. Of course, being English, we never complained. We just ate it all up and prayed that we would not spend the early hours of the morning riding the porcelain chariot. Funnily enough, from memory, none of the people doing the "cooking" looked in the slightest Mongolian. I remember in one of these places the cook had clearly developed a conscience about his physical incongruity and had stuck a phoney slim "Oriental"-style moustache beneath his nose. He also did a very poor impersonation of a Chinese accent. He would say "ah so" when you passed over the plate. My mates and I found it hilarious. The food was bloody awful, but the floor show was worth the price of the bill! We all thought that he had modeled his performance on Christopher Lee in those Fu Manchu films made by Hammer in the 1970s. Anyway, at least here YOU were in charge of the cooking. It looked nice, and very reasonably priced for Charing Cross Road/Leicester Square. A lot of places around there don't care about quality, because there is so much passing trade. In fairness, this appeared different. Thnks for another wonderful review. You are the best on the Internet.
I remember it well and went too often as really enjoyed 👌
That way of cooking is not a gimmick. It's a common way of Asian cooking.🦘
Great vlog again gary food looked lovely mash looked amazing yes expensive but you are in the heart of London so you would expect that tbh but as always top review mate
Thank you Richard really appreciated 👌
Brilliant video and excellent review as always!! Hope all is well, take care
All is fantastic Peter, take care of yourself
👍
Hello
In on the first comments :) I love mushrooms but don't like truffle,,,
Great to see
Truffle mash is awesome. I buy a bottle of Truffle oil pricey but lasts for ever. Truffle is earthy I think Gary with mushrooms it's the sometimes slimy texture which means not cooked properly 😂.
Yeah, noticed that service charge when I went but the service was so good that we had no problem with it!
When you down in Cornwall me handsome?
This Friday, looking forward to it, I have lots of videos planned
@@GaryEats Well buoy dress up warm, it's bleddy freezing down ere.
@@trurabuoy9593 so much for the heatwave we were promised.
Thanks as ever, Gary. Best wishes, mate xxx.
Thanks Paul, hope you're doing well mate
Hi Gary, Your review of the Georgian restaurant was brilliant! Such interesting menu choices.
Thanks so much Friederik
Fun factor, setting and a nice touch with blankets on the chairs, very nice. I'd give it a 7/10 based on value.
Thank you 🙏
Love your channel Gary, always fresh and interesting 😃👍🏻
Thank you very much Tiggie a bit of fun tonight 😂
Another thoroughly entertaining and informative review, Gary. I had steak on the stone in Puerto Banus, Spain, a few years ago. The steak appeared, already cut into strips, and you cooked them much like you did. You're a tonic to watch. Thank you. From Dublin. 🇮🇪
Can’t wait to come to Ireland
@@GaryEatsme too. You're gonna love it. Our food offering has improved out of all recognition in recent years. Bring it on!!!
I love that concept ... a good bit of sociable fun. 10 out of 10 for your cooking!!!
Thank you Melanie this was a bit of fun 👌
Thanks again Gary, Always something new and interesting to watch , 👍 👍 👍
Thanks Malcom 👍👍
I live on the East Coast...and am lucky enough to enjoy fresh seafood from time to time and it kind of spoils you!!!, Frozen is just not in the same league!...Having said that the prawn starter you had would have been a dream lunch...the contents of the bread basket and the oil! mmmmm!!!!! The steak looked decent enough, but the cooking was superb!!!! ...(If you enjoy seafood, I highly recommend 'The Third Crossing' in Oulton Broad)
You’re very lucky, you’re right about fresh seafood being in another league
Hi Gary. Being inspired by your video I ate here yesterday with someone special and we had a great time. I also showed your great video to the staff. Cheers
Wow that’s absolutely fantastic to hear David 👌👌
I work in central London and pass many of the places you've reviewed every week. I hope one day to see you live and shake your hand, love the channel!
Thanks Jason and hope I bump into you!!
Good to see that you had an enjoyable meal and i am sure you give marks reflecting that.On a few occassions i have had the same experience in restaurants but it also included local game kangaroo/emu as well as steak as options..Your video certainly brought back pleasant memories.Great review again but the wine prices there are beyond exorbitant in that place.A 9 from me with an extra point for the nostalgia
Thanks Paul and wow great score
Truffles aren't mushrooms. They aren't the same species. Great video!
Thank you Colin I thought they were a fungus
What I love about your reviews apart from the great personality and kindness to staff, is the humour. I think everyone is wanting to see your camera man at this stage as well lol, he seems a good laugh as well. Thank you for another entertaining review!
Thank you so ver6 much he will say hello one day
Absolutely brilliant ❤ Gordon Ramsey eat your heart out. Your passion for food certainty shines through in each and every video. Thank you so very much for another thoroughly enjoyable video review. x
Thank you so much 😀
This is so cool :) i never knew you could cook your own steak on hot stone at STeak and Company, definately will go and visit... lovely review as always Gary :)
Thanks Sally and enjoy
A few years ago while in Nerja Spain we found a Spanish restaurant that did exactly the same,where you cooked your own steak on a hot stone. We thought it a novelty but it was really good,only difference was the stakes in Nerja were enormous but a few bottles of Rioja helped wash them down.
I know Nerja really well Terry some lovely memories thank you for reminding me 👍
My only gripe Gary is, for that price i think i would expect some fresh veg with it.
No problem Andrew and would agree
😂😂😂you were full on Gary Partridge in this ,love it ,your camera man is like the stig off top gear ,back inthe day... thanks foe the laughs ❤ from Thailand 🎉
That’s really appreciated thank you this was a bit of fun
Not a prawn man but in Mons Belgium a few years back my gf and myself did cook various cuts chicken pork and beef on a stone at the table excellent. I am a good cook taught by my late father. Mom now 93 and housebound taught me how to bake long before Bake off. Looks like a great place nick and quiet ❤
It was a great restaurant and mum always cooks best 👌
I think it's a good idea to cook your steak how you want it 10/10 for them . Like the chef's shake of the salt . I have just been reminded there used to be a place in Ironbridge that in summer put a disposable BBQ on the table for you to finish to cook your meat on from when they had started to cook it . Mouth watering again Thanks Arthur.
That’s a great idea Arthur and thank you very much
Brilliant review Gary I was thinking about going and after that excellent review I am definitely going to go well done Gary
It’s 100% worth a visit especially for the lunchtime special
Brilliant review as always mate. And for the price in central London really good. Gary still waiting for you to do Jamaican food review can't wait to see you do one mate.
I know I promised you a while ago but I have a great one coming... Cafe Caribbean!!
@@GaryEats Nice one mate
I've had my daily fix thank you good as always
No problem Mark hope you are doing well 👍
@@GaryEats yes all good in the south coast thks
Our favourite Bon Vivant! Love prawns and they looked wonderful! My friend doesn't like the texture of mushrooms but doesn't mind the flavour .... Maybe start with a good steak, and a cream sauce with a few thinly slice fried in butter mushrooms added.
Butter mushrooms you say 😎
