Bites: Hard times call for some British beef
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Quality British British beef is perfect for the cold snap and this month sees a glut of new openings serving just that. The team behind the much-loved Albion in north London's Islington has recently revamped The Old Bear, a centuries-old pub in leafy Cobham with Richard Turner, formerly of Albion, at the helm and offering such delights as roast-beef bone marrow and steak pies. It's right by Chelsea football club's training ground and skipper John Terry (pictured), a bit of British beefcake himself, has been spotted there so often it was rumoured he'd bought the place.
Elsewhere, Barny Stoppard, son of the playwright Tom, has recently opened Barny's Place in the City, offering the "Barny Burger" with meat sourced from Smithfields market, while just around the corner Marco Pierre White's new venture, the Steakhouse & Grill, offers naturally reared beef alongside classic puddings. Let's hope there's enough diners left in the City to enjoy it.
