Tramshed (Shoreditch)

• Especially as French fries are included in the price
• You will have dinner in a vast room with a soaring ceiling and enormous arched window located in an industrial building
• Food comes with art thanks to one of Damien Hirst's art work standing in the middle of the dining room
• Eager to see if rumours of this fantastic steak/chicken restaurant with the life size preserved cow in the ceiling were true
• It's quite a site to see a cow in a fish tank being ridden by a chicken but such is the mind of Damian Hirst
• We decided to share two roast chicken plates between us and were treated to a beautifully presented whole chicken (you would have to see it to understand) surrounded by a sea oh fries
• The chicken was good and the fries cooked in some of the fat from the chicken were sensational
• I am always keen to consider the cost and I don't really feel it was excellent value for money we were happily sated but not really full by the end of the mains
• I suppose the clientele Tramshed is going for is slightly less financially minded than I
• That being the case this is definitely somewhere that should be experienced both for its excellent food and unique style
• Once you get over the massively impressive food hall and outstanding art work its time to get on with the main reason you're here
• Sillfield you know you are in for a treat
• One of the best value in town for meat Lovers
• As the menu at Tramshed is not exactly what you would call voluminous&hellip
• S latest bastion of recession busting British gastronomy is well documented
• My yearning to go here was only exacerbated when the restaurant won &lsquo
• Catching up with a couple of mates who
• First impressions were very different to what I had imagined
• Not packed to the (very high) rafters with carnivores
• Not just because of the art (though there is an entire gallery in the basement)
• Light pours in from a single window cut into the corrugated roof and every dose of clinical factory esque decor is offset with flecks of the finer things in life
• Though it was served in a chilled glass which is always a nice touch &ndash
• The multitudes of wines are crammed onto one sheet of A4 and cover all tastes
• The Cock Shot was basically a chilled dose of chicken stock and vodka
• Freezing cold chicken soup sloshing around my gums was too much even for this Moodivore
• We were blessed with Coronation Prawns
• The prawns with Coronation dressing was something that I have simply never tried
• Were cooked down yet retained a crispness that chucked around flavour like there was no tomorrow
• The two starters were accompanied by Yorkshire Pudding (a nice touch &ndash
• Comes in cuts weighing multiples of two hundred and fifty grams (which is exactly what we ordered) Everything comes with chips
• Though when these arrived it was disappointing to discover that they were nothing but off the shelf french fries
• Thick/triple cooked/chunky etcetera are not even an option
• Maybe the sides were a case of what Viz magazine calls &lsquo
• Probably the best chicken I have ever had
• I am not great with anything on the bone as I do not believe in singing for supper &ndash
• As the meat was sliding off the bone as easy as de waxing a Babybel
• Looking like nothing more than a sliver of medium rare rear back of beef laid upon a large plank of wood (I was angling for at least half a kilo
• It gets served with a whacking great carving knife
• I can sort of see why it was a case of &lsquo
• The marshmallows were served on the right side of soggy and there were enough for the three of us
• We had started to piss around with the popping candy by now and tipped some into the last of the dessert
• Our principle waitress was a vegetarian
• T agree with the way meat is looked after when it is butchered
• Everything is treated really well here&rdquo
• Such simplicity is in abundance at Tramshed
• Yet still can get away with being referred to as down to earth
• Apparently Cock and Bull is a nightmare to get cleaned
• You know a restaurant is popular when passers by who you ask directions from stop to point you in not only the right direction but also to give their dish recommendations as well
• Housed in a grade 2 building which was formerly the electricity generating facility for the Tramway system
• The building can now boast of serving some of the best chicken and steak in town
• High ceilinged and with plenty of natural light streaming in (when it&rsquo
• The focal point of the restaurant however is a large display of a Damien Hirst cow and chicken preserved in formaldehyde and commanding the attention of all the diners at the centre of the restaurant
• Sourced from British farms and served with fries and bearnaise sauce
• Grilled field mushrooms with garlic butter&rsquo
• S Blueberry Pie with Madagascan Vanilla ice cream&rsquo
• AKA that place on Rivington St with the cow and cockerel in formaldehyde hanging from the ceiling
• Asked whether she could recommend me a gin one that was quite light
• The clover tea club and espresso martini we ended up with were great
• Smoked salmon came in long thin strips with slices of soda bread and pickled cucumber on the side
• The fish was very fresh and paired with the cucumber tasted wonderfully seasonal
• The rib on the bone to share was too much to resist
• The Yorkshire chutney was truly immense though
• Our Tramshed meal was good &ndash
• In different variations with different sides
• I would recommend the Holy Fucked Chicken Wings (unfortunately contain gluten however my friends were loving them)
• Other than some of the starters this is a great place for people that want to avoid gluten
• Even the sauces are gluten free
• The service is excellent and you can that they are having fun themselves
• Their tasty chicken wings are served with the famous Holy Fuck sauce made by the Rib Man
• If you don't want to eat at the bar make a booking because Tramshed (Shoreditch) is very busy even during the week
• Only downside is because it's so busy you can wait a while and the staff are a little rushed and impersonal
• We finished with a warm blueberry pie drizzled with cold cream and and a bottle of the cheap and cheerful French white
• The prices are pleasingly low
• The Indian rock chicken and the Tbone are some of the best food I've ever tasted
• If you love steak this is the place to go
• Nice relaxed atmosphere with a really cool decor
• Recommend getting the chicken wings with the special sauce and the salt and pepper onion rings for starters tasty start with a nice kick to the sauce
• A little disappointed with the peri peri chicken
• Doesn't come with anything so you might want to order something on the side
• Had a chocolate mousse for dessert which was ok and simple
• The service were always on top of you and seem to check on you too frequently which can be annoying with lack of privacy
• You may or may not also be aware that there is a Damien Hirst formaldehyde encased cow standing on a huge pillar in the centre of the room
• The zombie was served with a flaming
• The steak was lovely with the bé
• The dessert was incredible &ndash
• Salted caramel fondue with big soft marshmallows to dunk in it
• T get to hang out with a real cock and bull now
• ) Because this is one roast chicken I will happily devour any given day
• S popular establishment is surprisingly kid friendly too
• Order the Indian Rock chicken with stuffing&ndash
• My mum taught me not to play with my food but hey couldn&rsquo
• What I love about Tramshed (Shoreditch) is that they do these sweet little desserts for people like me who like a lil something sweet after their lunch or dinner
• Who can go wrong with a mini chocolate cake for £
• The credit crunch ice cream is a personal favourite
• Last weekend I was lucky enough to be treated to a top notch meal at the Tramshed in East London
• Celebrity chef Mark Hix opened the doors to his 150 seat restaurant in 2012 which is situated inside the old electricity generating station for the London Tramway System
• The menu follows a strict chicken and steak theme which is reflected in the restaurant&rsquo
• So this is basically the best chicken I have ever eaten
• The steak was good but the chicken was incredible
• We were delighted that Mr Hix had provided us with a recipe for a chicken broth
• S Throwback Thursday post is about Tramshed in Shoreditch
• We wanted a nice dinner with good grub that wasn&rsquo
• Our steaks were of poor quality and full of gristle
• Croquettes and prawn cocktail starters were nothing to write home about
• We was late by one hour xD not only my friend came late at out meet up point even though she lived a lot closer her eyebrows was her top priority than me
• We rang Tramshed and told them we was running late and they was completely fine about it and told us our table will be still here for us
• I have a bad sense of directions I thought Tramshed was in London bridge or bank XD
• When we arrived we was greeted by a very friendly waiter (who is hot
• * *) when I looked at pictures from online of Tramshed it looked very packed but when we sat down it was very quiet because it was a Wednesday afternoon and we had the whole place to ourselves
• D I ordered roast chicken with stuffing and chips
• The chicken here was very succulent and tasty ^^ whatever sauce they used and the stuffing the had was great
• Cause only two of us arrived my friend had to pick up the other girl who was suppose to come with us
• They had a downstairs gallery it's was okay quite a modern restaurant
• Your choices are chicken or steak
• Because you have not lived until you've tried their salted caramel fondue with giant marshmallows and donuts
• Or at least the girl that was dealing with our table was
• The steak itself was good/great
• I felt the presentation was so disappointing
• As the restaurant is in a beautiful setting
• Based on Rivington Street in Shoreditch is the new revamped Tramshed
• Named so as it is situated within a former East End tram generator building
• High ceilings and long tables and booths with a large installation by Damien Hirst of a cow with a chicken on top
• Yet I decided to give the Fillet steak salad with scrumpy fried onions and Bearnaise a try (I don't quite fancy horseradish sauce)
• Even though the restaurant is quite pricey
• Add to that a huge tank atop a high pole with a whole real cow and a real rooster preserved within it and it's self identity is sealed
• I went for a tasty sirloin steak with fries and salad
• All around us impressive whole chickens were being served upright to hungry patrons and we quickly realised this must be a popular and signature sharing dish
• Great for a dinner with a big group of friends
• Definitely the chicken is much better than their meat
• I think this is a great example of the problem that seems to affect London restaurants
• To the ideas and sensations that it transmits but then food is relegated to the 2nd or 3rd plan
• Had some starters that were perfectly ok here but that I could also have in a grill place in any of the high roads around central London
• It wasn't an inconsistency in the steak because one of the other members of my group asked for the same meat with the same degree of "
• That's the best thing about the restaurant
• They have the whole chicken platter that is very presentable
• They have a pretty vast menu and the staff was really cool and friendly
• Fries and a salad with a Burrow Hill Cider
• The mushrooms were not quite the ones I liked
• The rest were great to the taste buds and there is a lot more on the menu that can be tried
