I ate many steaks in my life, and in this little place, I found the best steak ever. It's just a poem with no right words to describe how incredible it tastes. It's must try food.

Fantastic place. Highly recommend you visit. Was made very welcome on arrival. Decor was nice with lots of small rooms as it's a house that's been converted into a restaurant. Service was prompt and staff very polite. The food was excellent, my fillet steak was cooked medium to perfection. My husband had Cajun chicken which he says was very good. Will deffo go back.

Update: Visited again, the young female staff are very eager to upsell drinks and desserts, and constantly ask if everything is OK. The chef can be seen drinking wine while cooking in the kitchen! It doesn't matter how you ask for the steak to be done he does it how he likes. Two people ordering steak medium can get two very different steaks. Expensive but good quality, however it is variable not everyone in our group was happy with their steaks as either over or under cooked. Old Review: We had to send one dish back! Delicious food but had to deduct stars for the cutlery not being polished there were dishwasher marks left on all of them, and the special of the noodles was very sour. I must say to their credit they replaced the dish quickly and without fuss so I've increased my rating to four stars. Our friend is used to Asian food and eats it on a regular basis and he said the noodles were definitely off. Other customers were questioning the flavour but the chef was saying that it was correct. We feel the flavour profile was not balanced. Maybe too much lime juice was added to the miso? The steaks and mixed grills however were perfect. The ribeye cut like a knife through butter. The meat was so tender. Even the grilled herb tomatoes were so ripe and delicious. The chips were near perfect crunchy crispy and fluffy on the inside. They soaked up the vinegar perfectly which cut through the oil of the chips. Altogether a marriage of barbecue flavours that go together perfectly. We had the local IPA and a cider which paired perfectly with the meals. The restaurant was busy with local regulars and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Every request we made was met with a courteous "no problem" reply. Service was impeccable. The desserts for those in our party who could manage them were also delicious. There was a Mars bar Cheesecake and a kinder bueno tart which was dense chocolate. Highly recommended if you still have room after your main course! (I didn't!)

Where do I start! Absolutely unbelievable quality. So 2 terraced houses knocked through and a restaurant is created, a restaurant that sells unbelievable food. Nothing on my Sunday dinner was below a 9 out of 10. I had the mixed meats roast for £25 with an additional cauliflower cheese. Four of us went for this meal and all of us said it was one of the best we have had. The girls working the floor were superb, and kitchen staff are obviously highly skilled to be knocking out food of this quality. A real quirky place that offers something quite different to anywhere I have been. Shall certainly be coming here again!

I've got to be honest, I'd probably pass this venue and not even look twice. But my friend living in the area had already dined there with her partner and just knew I'd love it. We were seated immediately but not liking to be too cramped next to another table, we asked if we could move, and the staff made it happen immediately. Please know, I'm not saying the restaurant is cramped, it's very small and intimate which I LOVE! It's just when me and my besty catch up, it's better for everyone with ears that we are away from people HAHA! I can't say enough about how perfect the service was, even offering us things we weren't aware of to make the experience better for us. Our drinks were served very quickly and then came the food. THE FOOD! This is one of the best steaks I've had in a loooong time! Even taking my leftovers hope to finish later. The entire night was just perfect. The price is beyond reasonably for what you get! I will 110% be back to dine there again!!!!!!!

First time here. The food was superb 👌 Service was fast and attentive. The only downside, for us, was that the tables for 2 were very close together, so if on a date night, as we were, it wasn't very private. Also, our table was by the stairs so often had folk standing next to us wondering where the toilets were. Will return but would ask to be seated elsewhere if possible x

I’m staying for an evening around the corner so didn’t have a booking, the staff were incredibly helpful to find a table to fit me in. The food was delicious, I had the surf and turf which although pricey at £43 for a pint and the meal with a Stilton sauce it was worth every penny. The ladies who were serving were all lovely, incredibly friendly and very efficient. I’d advise booking if you are looking to come, it’s definitely worth a visit

Thank you! Reece and Sally and Jane and everyone else set us up for a lovely evening in the patio… been meaning to visit for years now and had loads of recommendations. Only criticism is that we can never seem to get a table booking at short notice!!! Must be popular! So we can see why now! Big steaks! Banging chips and stuff! Steak sauces through the roof…. and sides that are off the charts… we backed up the Ribeye and the Jurassic with Mac n Cheese and Garlic Mushrooms and two sauces…. You need some energy to consume that amount of food! Had to admit defeat… keep up the good work folks! A real buzz about the place with Al Fresco dining… even the opportunity to put my own playlist on the Bluetooth Stereo

Last week was my 4th visit here and I will keep going back. Not only is it easily the best steakhouse I've been to based on the quality of food, but all the posh steakhouses need to take a leaf out of porterhouse handbook. Last week I took my family for sunday dinner on recommendation of a few people. This sunday dinner is the best sunday dinner I've eaten out and this was agreed by my dad, step mum and sister. As a family off food lovers this is as higher praise as I could give and I cant wait to go again!!! Well done barrows chefs and staff and thank you for helping make another special day.

Food fabulous. Steak was to die for. Waitress service excellent. Was sat on the top level in a small back room which was more like a store room. In fact it had got chairs stacked in the corner so there was no atmosphere and it kind of ruined the night. If you book ask not to be in that room

Booked for my 40th birthday for a family meal. There was 14 of us and pre ordered to make things easier. I was assured when I booked that my mum would be catered for (she has ocd with most foods) and I made sure again before the Saturday that it would be ok for her to have a jacket potato cheese and beans, no salads no seasonings nothing. Got there in plenty of time the girls serving us I can’t fault them, got us drinks and then double checked the pre order that I had written down for them with me. Waited nearly an hour for food but granted all dishes came out together but then there was my mums dish which had to be sent back as the chef had put some kind of green seasoning/garnish on top. Dish came back but because of what was in it before my mum had to check to make sure it had all been taken off and it hadn’t it had just been hidden with more cheese. I took it back and did say to front of house I told you if it wasn’t plain it would get sent back, she not eat this now at all. Was offered to order something else off the menu for her but that is why I ordered jacket potato . my poor mum was then sat there with nothing to eat while we all ate but then i didn't eat much of mine cos i was very angry. My mum got upset and started crying my birthday meal with family was ruined quite frankly The chef said that he wasn’t told even though it was written down and that he thought it looked bland. Was also informed later on that night that the butter that was used had herbs in it. I used to really like eating here but I think it’s gone down hill with the food in the last couple of years and I won’t be eating here again. This also has put my mum back and now doesn’t want to go out again.

Apart from the cherries issues we had a really good meal. The steak night offer for £22 including a beer was good value , good portion and very tasty. The desert description was chocolate mouse and cherries, however the cherries consisted of 2 small glace cherries which was a bit of a con ! We will be returning to try the other menus but will check on details before ordering.

We enjoyed a lovely early evening meal, we hadn't realised it was a special steak menu but the server ( I'm sorry I didn't get your name) was fantasticly knowledgeable so we decided really quickly, I had the Cajun chicken, my partner had the porterhouse along with sides of scampi, onion rings and the blue cheese and peppercorn sauce. Everything was cooked beautifully, the chicken was moist, the steak could have been cut with a butter knife... and the homemade chips were absolutely perfect 👌 if I had to give criticism, I prefer a thicker sauce but we left happy and full after the generous pudding portions. Will definitely return! Staff were fantastic too really attentive and knowledgeable, and seemed like a happy team! 😊

Booked as a birthday treat for my wife. After a long busy hectic week, we were looking forward to a lovely meal and the opportunity to spend some quality time together. The meal was mediocre...... steak was overcooked but was willing to let this go as the rest of the mixed grill was great. Ordered 2 x apple crumble with custard for dessert. Both of the crumbles were cold!!! To their credit, the crumbles (hot) were replaced free of charge which was appreciated. No sooner had we finished dessert and we were presented with the bill which incedently we didn't ask for!! The time was 9 30pm. We were asked if we'd be paying cash or card and literally two minutes later the waiter appeared with the card machine...... nothing like been told to leave !!!!!

Have been twice now. First was for the Saturday lunch time deal and I was very happy. Went for Christmas Eve dinner. Couldn't have the Christmas menu as we should have separately booked that, certainly was not obvious when booking a table on their site. I couldn't find that option when I went back looking for that. By 4:30 1/2 the steaks were no longer on the menu as sold out. Come on you a steak house owned by a butchers shouldn't run out that early. I ordered the last ribeye to be cooked blue. What came out was a very flat and extremely thin but large steak. Definitely cooked more than blue but what can you do it was the last one. Food was still tasty for sure so can't complain about that. Just felt let down with the visit. Will more than likely be in 2 minds when we look to book a table out for dinner again.

Our visit was on Saturday the 7th of October, been to Porterhouse a few times over the past few years and it’s always been very good but this time it was exceptional in every way possible. We didn’t have a starter we went straight for the main courses, my wife had the fillet steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection, I myself had the mixed grill it was amazing the best mixed grill I ever had by far all the meats were cooked perfect and there was plenty of it, I highly recommend the mixed grill especially if you love your food and you have a very good appetite. For desserts I had the crème brouille and the wife had the Eton mess I would say the desserts are slightly overpriced but they were good. Overall our experience was a positive one and would highly recommend that you try Porterhouse by Barlow if your a lover of steak and local produce you will not be disappointed Finally well done to all the team at Porterhouse

Thought we would give this place a second chance- wish we hadn’t bothered. Staff obviously didn’t want to be there, food was greasy and steak was chewy. Food took an hour and 15 to come, when asked where the food was the waitress went to ask and never returned until 30 mins later with our food. We came for my partners birthday and it was just poor from start to finish. Requested “happy birthday’ was wrote on his pudding when I book a few weeks before. His pudding was bought out without anything on it. Again when I asked waitress responded with “you should have told us when you arrived”.

It was absolutely fabulous. We went for the Saturday Afternoon £20 Steak Night deal (advertised quite clearly on the website when we booked). It matched the menu on our table on arrival, we knew exactly what to expect. I say this because, at the same time a party of 10 arrived on a pre-booking moaning about the menu and kept asking about the 5pm A La Carte menu items and were quite difficult when told they weren’t available yet. Yep, I’m now moaning about the moaners.. if you’re veggie, call ahead, see what they can do. Particularly if you’re called David. Anyway, back to our experience. Booking was easy, menus on the website accessible and clearly Steak-hefty.. but not exclusive. Our deal today was a selection of steak meals with trice-cooked seasoned chips, a breakfast mushroom, a grilled tomato and side salad.. with a pint of beer or 175ml glass of wine. TWENTY QUID!! I mean, I had a 16oz Jurassic steak with a pint for TWENTY QUID!! Now, added to this perfectly (rare) cooked 16oz tasty lump of cow, the chips were delicious and then (and this is a deal breaker for me)…a perfectly grilled sweet, juicy and seasoned FULLY GRILLED tomato and a butter-tasty mushroom on the side. A balsamic seasoned salad looked nice and tasted just as good. Simply sublime. My wife paid £5 extra for an 8oz fillet which was worth every penny. She was just as happy and the side order of a large bowl-full of creamy garlic mushrooms was enough for two (so I had to help out of duty!) My brandy-infused peppercorn sauce was simply delicious also. The 8-quid puddings were massive! I enjoyed a huge homemade cornflake tart with custard and my wife had perfectly flambéed crème brûlée with orange shortcake. It’s only expensive if it’s rubbish.. I’d happily pay twice as much if I was wealthy. Just terrific. The staff are friendly and super-efficient (and I mean super-efficient.. like pouring the drinks as you’re ordering them with the waitress at the table).. I should add that we’re not steak-buffs, or we weren’t until now. I just don’t think I’ve eaten out and received such good value and quality. You must go! And our excellent waitress was Reneá

Can never call to book a table? Phone just rings? Is this place shut?

Have you ever come across someone who clearly doesn't like their job (and is also not very good at it)? We came across a whole restaurant full of them! Booked a table about a month in advance, but on arrival they seemed to be struggling to find it, and then it turns out they had written it for 4 instead of 5 people. She informed me of this and left a pregnant pause; not sure if I was supposed to suggest at this point that one of us would wait in the car or something?! Anyway, after deliberation they offered to put an extra chair onto the end of a table - fine, but in such a small place this really made us feel in the way. It was a busy service with plenty of staff, but sadly not a lot of competence between them and definitely not a smile to be had! It's one thing to dislike your job, but don't show that to the customers for goodness' sake! 4 drinks orders were taken and then the waitress walked away...again, there were 5 of us. We had to call her back to take the fifth order. No second drinks were offered, so we had to call someone over to order those - in a restaurant, isn't it standard to keep an eye on drinks and try to upsell a second one? For a restaurant primarily specialising in steak, it is a real oversight for the steak to be tough on one plate, and not cooked to the order on another (asked for medium rare, got rare to blue - better to be under than over, but still, why ask how you'd like it cooked?) This was a birthday meal, but we felt underwhelmed and made to feel like we were an inconvenience. When we got up to leave, not one member of staff acknowledged us or even turned in our direction - bad hosting. It was a weird vibe in there throughout to be honest, almost as if the staff had a big fight immediately before service and none of them were talking to each other, or anyone dining there! Would not recommend!

This was a family birthday celebration. My daughter booked a table for 5 by phone during another occasion when we were together and able to hear the conversation. We arrived last night for our meal and were told that only four of us were expected and they hastily added a chair and place setting to the table in front of the kitchen service area, even then, there wasn't enough cutlery on the table for everybody. The waitress took four drinks orders and then turned and walked away - ok, so it can only get better, right? While we were waiting for the drinks, having now ordered one for each of us, another waitress came over to ask under whose name the booking had been made. From the discussions we could see them having behind the bar and pointing to the booking sheet, we deduced there must have been some sort of error, adding to the feeling we had already of not being expected. The cocktails seemed weak and watery, so we switched to branded drinks. The waiting staff were surly and unfriendly, making us feel unwelcome. Toilets were not signed, a vague gesture from a waitress led to another very small dining area, where the customers looked even more crammed in than we were. Food took an hour to arrive, but the restaurant was fairly full and the kitchen seemed small. Portion sizes were good, but for me, the food was mediocre at best. I ordered a ribeye steak, which is my 'go to' if it is on the menu. Unfortunately, it was not tender and juicy, but tough and grisly. In all honesty, I have bought better from Morrisons. The waiting staff had been surly and unfriendly for the whole evening, making us feel unwelcome. Even when we came to pay the bill, the waitress did not speak, thrusting the card machine in front of my son in law, as he was holding a card to pay. We stood to leave, at which point, in most other establishments, staff might thank us for our custom, say goodbye, a small gesture. Not here though. We had not been to this restaurant before and were looking forward to it, but the visit was disappointing and having since seen other reviews, it seems that ours was by no means a unique experience.. There are better places to eat than this and I would recommend trying elsewhere, we certainly won't be making a return visit.

We visited here on a Saturday night so it was busy but comfortable. We were shown to a table by a lovely young lady called Olivia. She offered us a drink straight away while we looked at the menu. We decided against starters as I wanted to eat all of my mains. We both ordered rump Steaks & they were beautiful, cooked to perfection! Delicious food, brilliant service! Olivia was so attentive. We will definitely visit again!

No nonsense, good food. The steaks are, as you'd hope, excellent. Service was great. The only slight downside is it can be terribly noisy when busy
