Hill & Szrok in Hackney

We had a great time, what a cool concept. The meat was very good, as were the beef chips 😋 The staff were very friendly too and there was a nice atmosphere. Can't really fault it, smelt a bit like a Butchers but then again it is!

I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, and now I definitely won’t. The butcher’s staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful—especially the woman I spoke to on the phone, who actually hung up on me. Take your business somewhere that values both you and good customer service, and who are capable of calling you back. AVOID!

Absolutely delicious, great atmosphere, big portions of meat. Can't go wrong

Don't normally ever eat meat but this place was really delicious. On the expensive side for Broadway Market, but everything was perfect, and the atmosphere is really nice

Awesome food and great vibe. Thoroughly recommended.

Best butchers by far the staff are always pleasant and welcoming, the food is to die for highly recommended.

Such a cool concept. Butcher by day, restaurant by night. Select cuts including beef, pork , lamb . Our server was a butcher and was so informative when we had no clue what to go for. Suggested Denver white park . The beef was so special. Really rated the sides too, simple spinach and a buttery zesty corn . Incredible price given the quality and area , and we were full and satisfied! A special surprise meal in with a casual understated vibe. 10/10

The food, service, wine and setting were 10/10. Sublime, just Sublime. Thank you.

This cozy place made me to taste the best one of the best meats I’ve ever tried. Must-Try for meat lovers.

I wish I found such amazing meat trader in London before. It’s usually very difficult to find good red meat In London!

Delicious food, amazing steak, beautiful service, gorgeous vibes.

Regularly I am not the biggest meat eater, but Hill and Szrok may have just made me a convert. The steak was cooked to perfection, a mouth watering yet gentle enveloping of the palette. The beef fried chips were crispy and perfectly seasoned. With warm service and a lively ambiance i can thoroughly recommend.

Went for the steak which was good - but not great as there was no seasoning. All in all is a good place to seat and have a steak in reasonable prices ( compared to restaurants in central london). Friendly & knowledgeable staff. I wouldn’t run back, however it’s a good spot for the area.

Fantastic quality food. The chicken and beef skewers are especially good.

Setting, atmosphere, food, welcome, everything is there. The place is much too charming, their meats are truly incredible. We had a great time. No false note… they cook their fries in beef fat, it’s fantastic! A very nice discovery! I highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Friendly staff and the best piece of meat I’ve ever had. Strongly recommend trying this place.

Great meat and excellent service. I wasn’t sure about quantities and the exact cut but the took the time and help we well.

Fantastic meat dishes here, the lamb wax awesome. Converts in to a restaurant from a butcher’s in the evening. Excellent wines too

A proper quality meal, top food, top wine selection and great service. Music was a touch loud at times for a restaurant but other than that. 10/10

Good meal. Was very much looking forward to a steak as that was the big appeal of coming here. Was quite disappointed to arrive at 9pm and find half the mains menu was sold out as the restaurant has a policy of using a whole animal everyday. An interesting concept but nonetheless disappointing as a diner, especially as you’re sat communally and so have to watch others eat the meal you’re craving! However the Lancashire Hotpot was very tasty. The lamb was extremely tender and the potatoes, particularly the crispy ones, were a delight. The sides didn’t excite a whole lot. Service was good and prices are very reasonable. Will visit again for the steak but will make sure to come earlier.

Exceptional food, service, atmosphere and wine

Overpriced and dishonest Generally average priced meat sold at top-quality prices. Told me they would trim the large amount of excess fat on a cut; well they did but only after first weighing it. Came home to discovery they effectively stole £20 from me. Avoid as a butcher, as a restaurant its actually decent.

WOW just WOW! I have been in London a lot of times and I have been in to a lot of good restaurants, hill & szrok was the best! Amazing place, amazing vibes, the staff was so friendly and happy! We ordered almost everything from the menu, everything was great! Just no words, for sure one of the best places to visit in London! I can’t wait to come back soon!!

Best food on Broadway market. Second time I have eaten here and it had somehow managed to get better. Generous portions of great quality meat and sides. Can’t recommend this place enough

We have been there since 2018 and they were good. Now 2023, Hill & Szrok lost the project. They are now unprofessional, dirty, very unkind. The product (the meat) is shoe sole. We do not want to talk about the dinner because it impossible to define it!! Good luck!

I have been there since 2018 for the butcher first, then for the restaurant just the evening. I should tell they have LOST the project. Now, 2023, they are unprofessional, rude, not very kindness and with absolutely no desire to work! The place is dirty, better stay away like PANDEMIA. And the meat sometimes is shoe sole. Pity.

Great place to choose for our anniversary, highly recommend amazing food and vibe with great service.

Excellent food, great pork chop, outstanding. Flora was excellent and very helpful. Seating can be a bit awkward but overall a great experience.

I can't speak for them as a butchers but as a restaurant this totally deserves 4.5+ google reviews, it's top notch

Had the best dinner. Small intimate restaurant, sitting at white marble counter tops. Concise but varied menu. I chose the rump steak with an anchovy hollandaise sauce and a side of new potatoes - both were absolutely delicious, the steak is one of the best Ive ever had; the herb blend and seasoning on the pots was perfect. Super nice team, European focused wine list and great music. Could not fault anything - 100% go for a visit.

Great vibe, good sized portions, fresh ingredients used to make incredibly tasty dishes. The meat was cooked to perfection and the flavours.. yum!! An epic dinner, and one of the best meals I’ve had in London. Loved every dish!

Called early in the week as I was looking for specific cuts. The order was prepared promptly and they were flexible when collecting the order. The quality of the produce was really good as well. It’s a great address - will go back!

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in London! Head chef Ella gibbons truly elevates the high quality ingredients into a otherworldly flavor experience. My tastebuds are blown away every time I visit this place. Amazing wine options and staff you want to befriend straight away. Overall just an incredible experience Another plus: They also accommodate for gluten intolerant folks like me!

Incredible food, great wine, great staff! The meat was amazing but also some of the best vegetarian dishes I've had so far! lots of flavour and love put in the food. Will definitely come back!

Such a great restaurant! Meat/food was great, service great, settings great. Can’t wait to go back 🥩🍴

This is my local butcher, everything is top quality and always fresh

Great meal, great service, well priced.

Undeniably, the best meal I’ve had in London. What a fantastic concept. Butcher by day, restaurant at night. Fresh, inventive, absolutely delicious dishes with a phenomenal wine list for perfect pairing. The pork head croquettes and in-season Asparagus with lardo were divine!! Intimate, relaxed setting completes the vibe!

Excellent. I can recommend it enough

Great meat but so expensive. 2 kilos of beef shin £47 Feel I’ve been robbed.

Very good quality meat, great cuts, wrapped in paper! Love this butcher and highly recommend it

We have been here a lot, & the pork chop I had a few months ago was probably the best pork chop I have ever tasted & I was excited it was on the blackboard menu again, however when it came is was not like the pork chop I had before which had no fat & a bone in it. This time it was very fatty & no bone, so I was confused & the waiter said it’s a pork loin, & I said but it says pork chop on the menu? Anyway he said sorry but he didn’t bother to change the blackboard menu. We didn’t eat it as too fatty, & would not of ordered if it said loin, but we were still charged in full The chicken breast was a breast & was nice We are not rushing back which is a shame.

Had a reservation for dinner and they were closed. Poor booking process

Such good quality food. Straightforward, delicious and on point. Service that isn’t too attentive but allowed us to enjoy our meal. Would love to come back.

The most amazing steak I have ever had. And the most delicious Tuscany potatoes! Even the green salad was just that extra special! I am not sure if it was the great atmosphere, the gorgeous wine or the lovely waiter, it all just really really works. Highly recommended it. Can't wait to go back!!!

Excellent hearty, soul-warming food. It does hum a bit from the daytime spent as a butchers but if you can get past that it’s well worth it. 3 man team including only one chef is also very impressive.

I was blown away by how average the sausages I bought were. Really dry and bland. Confusing cause they look the part.

A nice concept and good atmosphere in the restaurant. Stand outs were the rump steak and the tomato and fried capers salad. Both incredible.. however the rest of our meal was very average and pretty overpriced. The pickles were too acidic, the quail wasn’t very flavoursome, the steak tartare wasn’t great either. I’d go back for the wine/steak. Service was good

Would definitely recommend. First two dishes were good but then the mains were unreal! The place is pretty cool and has good vibes. They were playing some 90s Hip Hop while munched down my steak and wine - was lit

If you’re up for good steak, try Argentinian place couple doors away. Service was good, however the food was shocking, salty and overpriced!

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing service. Could not have wished anything better for a night out with my mate. 10/10 I will come back.

Great meat but terrible customer service. Butcher shop staff are incredibly rude each time I go in.

Get the sirloin, carpaccio and all the sides. Bangin. Gonna go back soon for the chicken and pork chops. Great service. Lovely lads behind this.

Restaurant is average and overpriced. Ordered the ribeye and it was chewy.

Have been to Hill & Szrok a few times now over the years. As someone who likes to BBQ and takes an interest in butchery, I always hope to enjoy what I get there. But I find it always disappoints. The latest beef I bought tasted like a blue cheese - dry-aged for far too long for me, but would be to someone's taste, but the staff aren't interested in helping you find what would work for you. They are generally unfriendly and not too interested in good customer service. Often dismissive and disinterested.

A unique culinary experience. This place is a meat eaters paradise. We tried the lamb, the pork and the sirloin steak between us. All were cooked perfectly on an amazingly hot stove that can put crackling on a pork chop. Also enjoyed the salad and the cheesy roast new potatoes. The wine list is also very interesting. Colston basset cheese, chocolate desert and sweet wine to finish. Very good service. Must book as it's a tiny place in a busy area.

Super disappointed. Spent £24 on 1.5kgs of beef short ribs and they were essentially just fat. After breaking them down for a stew this is the only meat that was left…

Thank you for the gracious gesture offered by the manager and team today. Me and my partner genuinely appreciate it. We experienced a few bumps during our visit this evening but the manager dealt with the situation with a great amount of professionalism. We will be back!

Very nice butcher shop. We go here almost once per week, typically getting chicken, sausages, sometimes minced pork, eggs or other cuts of meat. The meat selection and quality are great. They also have a small range of beer and wine, including Kernel and some other locals. Good place to stop if you find yourself on Broadway Market in search of meat.

I dined at your restaurant the service and food was amazing, lovely atmosphere...I thought that your restaurant design was different from butchery to restaurant, multifunctional space, brill

We ate at Hill and Szrok last night. We were lucky to get in before it filled up completely, so book to avoid disappointment. We had such a fabulous meal and the service was friendly, attentive, accommodating and happy to take time to chat about the business with us. My husband thinks it’s quite literally the best chicken dish he’s ever eaten. Even the music was spot on, the entire play list, every tune. We will go back and hope to take friends with us next time to share our discovery. What a find. We love this place.

My gf woke up this morning with food poisoning after our visit last night. We ordered rump, lamb leg and mash n gravy. The food (only the rump and mash) took 40 minutes to arrive, even thought we were only the second couple in there and the first couple were already eating and was properly cold through and through. The waiter's response to the cold steak was 'oh we were just resting the meat'. LOL The bread was also way too cold, clearly still defrosting or had been in the fridge for whatever reason. Not coming back.

Super-quality meat, nice atmosphere during dinner. Friendly staff! Maybe, the t-bone steak was incredibly overpriced (~100£/kg)

highly recommended! Butcher by day and restaurant by night, this particular spot is absolutely worth going. we went for dinner last night and had, hands down, the best meat I had in the UK and probably the best pork I had in my life. I really loved the atmosphere, the staff was very nice, good selection of wine and I love that they have cards you can take explaining the story of every single farmer they work with. will surely come back!!!

Such a special place, starting from the food , wines, service, atmosphere, vibe and music. A Brodway market little gem, highly recommended!

I dropper in today to buy some lovely meat . everything was going rather well and the French ( from his accent I believe he was French ) butcher was helpful and informative. It come to pay so I approached him to tap my car and in the middle of this another young butcher come up form the basement and literally attached me saying I was braking social distancing ...but I was only reaching to pay and the French gentleman was kindly explaining how to to best cook this lovely steaks. The other chap not only interrupted it was extremely aggressive and rude . He would have never dared to speak to a man like he spoke to me. The mangement really need to help him in learning how to deal with customers. So so rude ..all he need it to say please keep your distance...how I would have tapped the payment card machine ...well it is another matter. I used have dinners there quite often with friends and buy a lot of my meat ....I will I go back...never ......I felt humiliated and very offended . Some people do not have the ability to speak to customers........Awful I should a call and an apology

Best butcher and restaurant for meat lover…heaven on earth

A good butcher and fabulous sandwich shop during lockdown. I love how the owner build a strong community in this place but the restaurant is 3 stars. Nicely cooked meat but very slow service/ lots of salt and oil.

Wonderful meal yet again last night. Excellent.

I eat pretty much anything and given the fact I chose to spend my Saturday night in a butcher it would be save to say I like meat. I very much enjoy raw meat as well. I'm happy having rare pigeon or rare pretty much anything. The chef seemed hell bent on proving to me it's possible to eat lamb raw. I sent back my food twice. On both occasions I got back meat where about 80% of it was raw then a little pink ring and some greyish char on the outside I understand it's quality meat and perfectly safe but when I'm paying 21 quid for a few wimpy slices of lamb it's reasonable to expect them a bit pink through rather than having to chew on raw meat. The photos and other dishes looks great so I'm just disappointed. If they hadn't run out of pork chops I'm sure I would have had a lovely evening. It doesn't make you a bad person or a reprobate to cook meat to a customer's liking. Was made to feel like I was dumb or something for wanting non-raw meat. The staff were kind and didn't charge me and I probably will return because ambiance was nice and other food looked good. Pictured is my food after the second bout of being sent back to ask to cook a bit more.

Expensive for such a small portion of chicken. Meat tasted like was an old chicken as in an old bird though looked fresh. Moreover, and more importantly, I was unwell the next day after having had chicken for dinner the night before. It might have been a one off that I had a bad bit, but on this experience I won't be back.

Had yet another incredible meal at the cookshop last night for a friend’s bday. All of the meats were cooked to absolute perfection and I’m still dreaming of the flavors. The wine list is extensive and has lots of great priced bottles. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating as always. Thanks!

High quality and well cooked meats. Disappointing wines and sides.

Good quality meat, but rude and grumpy staff and insane high prices combined with limited selection (on the day I went there was no pork belly, black pudding or streaky bacon) mean I won't be going back :(

Great atmosphere and service! On the pricey side but this was to be expected for organic and sustainable meats. Was a bit disappointed with the Rub steak - tasted on par with your average steak. Lamb and pork belly + all of the side plates were incredible.

We have been here twice for dinner now and can not fault it. The atmosphere is cosy without being cramped, lovely warm low lighting, great music and delicious food. A small menu that always changes depending on what’s in season. Simple dishes done beautifully that respect the great produce. If you’re going to eat meat eat high welfare meat- and that’s what you will find here. Plus super lovely staff and great wine. It’s the perfect date night place. By day- the take away burgers on the weekend are ridiculously good and I’m not even a burger person. The meat is high quality and the beef bones have been the best I’ve used so far for making broth. So happy to have this place as a local. 🙏

Excellent meat and super friendly staff.

This place really is outstanding - though you will need to get there before 8 on a Friday to get a seat without queuing. It works best for small groups - ideally two or three - because the seating is communal and quite basic and the restaurant small. The Chateaubriand I had there last night was stunningly good - and I admire any restaurant that offers side dishes of fried egg (£1) and sausages (£3). The house red is good and cheap (£19) and overall its very competitive for what you are getting. Mostly though its about the meat. Just updating my reviews of 6 years ago. The restaurant is still here. It has survived Covid. It is still excellent. I didn't comment t on the butcher side of the business before. Pricey but excellent beef chicken and lamb. But what we love is the pork chops and the mince. Truly superb.

Good quality meat, but very expensive (e.g. £40/kg for Lamb Cutlets).

Really disappointing. Staff were rude and the steak I received was cut like a cheese wedge. Useless

Eaten here on the evening over 100 times and it’s the best. I never planned to eat there so much, but it does not seem to offer me any choice. Produce-led it takes the future of sustainable and regenerative agriculture as it’s catalyst. On the evening the very model of the business, creates energy and vibe. The staff don’t stop, covering multiple duties, FOH often prepping starters, or washing dishes. They are engaged and dedicated. It feels family run, and that’s what they’ve made here. Food is so consistently delicious. Humble dishes, extravagant produce, that respects the best of the peasant food tradition that inspires all good food. This place is sincere and fun. Can’t wait to get back there when things return to some normality.

Great last meal before London lockdown 2.0. Service was amazing and food delicious!

The palace is well furnished. It looks like a butcher and it is, but the restaurant/bistrot model fits well. The meat is outstanding but we had our meals slightly cold, even if it was properly coocked. This may be due a missmanagement of time. It may happen but given that the prices incorporates a high quality service (20£ for a lamb chop), it should not happen. Not a big deal. It was good anyway! The wine: we had a Domaine de la Pepiere 'La Pepie' Cabernet Franc for 37£ which is definitely over priced.

A gorgeous dinner at Hill & Szrok reminding me exactly which its my favourite spot in London. The changes they’ve made to adhere to the Covid-19 regulations don’t take away any of the charm of this amazing cook shop and the staff remain as charming and friendly as always. Dinner was spectacular with everything being cooked to perfection. Such a lovely welcoming feel throughout the whole night. Special mention to those burnt onions and the dauphinois tats with anchovies...oh and the peppers...and the radicchio...and the MEAT! Crumbs. Everything was a treat. Thanks to the whole team.

Always incredible quality, but what makes it really stand out is their sustainable approach to sourcing the meat!

The meat sold at the shop is good - but so, so expensive. Prices are not displayed so beware of the very bad surprise at checkout. If I have £30 to spend on a good steak, I’d rather go to a restaurant. Moreover, the staff is neither friendly nor helpful and really does not make you feel welcome.

Very expensive for meat that is serve when half of it is fat. Unfriendly staff. Local products doesnt have to mean exhorbitant prices, then it's just taking advantage of poor Londoner who try to buy local.

My partner and I had an excellent dinner here on a Saturday night! There was lots of free space when we arrived at about 7. Staff were friendly and attentive. Everything we ate was great - the lamb shoulder, T-bone and long stemmed broccoli especially standing out. The wine was excellent as well.

Been both day (butcher) and night (restaurant) and both are fantastic choices for any meat 🥩 lover. + The centrepiece white marble chopping block is wiped clean, set for communal covers, laid out with great atmosphere and a buzz. + A blackboard menu based on a small selection of classic and less common cuts is great to keep choice down but also meaning you know where the source of food is coming from. + Cozy, intimate, relaxed and moreover, it allows you see exactly where your meat comes from and talk directly to the chefs who prepare it. The restaurant experience is stripped down with a show put on right there in the butcher shop.

Went on a weekend night and can’t say enough good things about the food, the ambiance and service. The meat was delicious, by far one of the best sirloin steaks I have had in London which were a perfect match to the delicious fennel and tomato salads we had to accompany the meat. It’s a small restaurant that doesn’t take reservations but the wait wasn’t long, and we starting a bottle of wine while waiting outside in the lovely Broadway Market. Perfect for a (carnivour!) date or small groups. Service excellent as well - they guided us patiently so we didn’t order too much or too little food!

It's a shame that on our 2nd visit the quality and cooking of the meat was not to the high standard we got the 1st time. All sides we excellent. Loved specially the cabbage with shrimp butter. The big disappointment was the way the ribs were cooked. Only 1 of the 4 wing ribs we ordered was cooked well. The rest were all overcooked and some bits were quite chewy. We were expecting all of them to be cooked the same way: red inside with all the fat rendered. It's a real shame because I had saved the place in My favourites but I've now removed it.

We were a group of 3. We scored our experience according to MasterChef criteria, with an average score from each of us. Ambiance: Great, although music was intrusive and distracting. Service: we were concerned due to previous reviews, but our initial impressions were very positive. However we thought the service tapered off as the evening progressed. Food: Entrees were very good, enjoyed by all. Mains were also well cooked, although sides were disappointing, with the pumpkin significantly undercooked. Dessert: N/A Wine list: Extensive, although a disappointing amount of options in the moderate price range.

Came here for dinner. The meat was good (but not exceptional), well cooked and tender. Sides were disappointing. Very average considering the price is the same as many very good restaurants.

Food was really well cooked and meat was good quality but service unfortunately poor. Left without ordering dessert because we had had enough!

Absolutely loved our meal here. The tortilla was one of th best I've ever had outside Spain. I had the Wing rib (600 g). The waitress said that it was a portion to share but I had no issues finishing it all by myself. It was delicious. If anything it could had done with a bit more of salt while cooking. The rump was also very good. The broccoli with anchovy butter was delicious as well. We'll be back. Soon!!!!

Had a great date with my partner here yesterday. The location is great and the restaurant is very cosy and intimate. The wine list is great and the menu has few but great options. On the downside, my meat was a bit undercooked, asked for a medium and was on the rare side, if not blue on some thicker points of the cut (I have enjoyed anyways as it was top quality, however someone else might have not). Although the quality of the ingredients is excellent, I have found it a bit pricey for what they offer. Despite these points, the whole experience was very positive and the staff was very attentive and polite. Surely a place to visit again to see the improvements.

Kitchen was really slow. They served me a basket of cut up baguette from Costcutter

Great meat quality with decent portion sizes! Definitely will come back to explore more options available on the menu that gets update quite frequently. Sides are also delicious and feel as a right feet in terms of taste and size to the mains. Didn’t take it long time to arrive and stuff was friendly even at late hours. All of that with reasonable pricing.

Me and my boyfriend have wanted to try H&S for ages so we came for his birthday on a Saturday night at 7 without booking (we were very lucky with this I'm sure it doesn't always happen!) - were seated straight away and proceeded to have the most delicious 3 courses. Everything was so perfect and we can't wait to come back! Love love the centre table and the whole atmosphere is lovely.

This is what I wrote 8 months ago: “I keep thinking the meat might be a bit overpriced, and then I cook it...the quality has always been amazing. Probably my favorite butchers in London. You can preorder as well, and they'll prep the meat for you if you know what you want. Get super busy during holidays, so would recommend ordering in advance.” What I think now: the meat is still great quality, but the service is not. They still accept preorders, but don’t actually prepare it in advance, which defeats the purpose. (Has sadly happened more than once) unless you get the really friendly butcher (young, smiling, shaved head, has been there for years) your meat will not be prepared very well (sinews and unwanted bits will mean you have to spend more time prepping at home than you wanted to). My partner was told two weeks ago he couldn’t buy deboned thighs, he had to buy the whole leg...unheard of in this industry (I can only attribute this to laziness - if you don’t have time then say the prep will take 30 minutes and your customer can decide if they want to wait). I’m probably not going to make the effort to come here anymore. If you’re on Broadway on Saturday, then there are great alternatives at the market.
