About The Great Chase

The Great Chase treats halal dining as a starting point rather than a compromise: a polished Clerkenwell room, careful British-leaning cooking, and a drinks list built around tea, ferments, shrubs, and non-alcoholic pairings. The kitchen is fully halal and the restaurant is dry, so there is no awkward negotiation over wine lists, pork, or hidden stock bases. It feels most convincing when the cooking stays generous - slow-cooked lamb, steak, roast sauces, and sharp pickles - but the service and plating give it the rhythm of a proper occasion restaurant.

Menu highlights

  • Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder £32 Rich halal lamb with roast jus, herbs, and the kind of deep savoury finish usually missing from alcohol-free dining rooms
  • Halal Rib-Eye Steak £38 Charred, rested properly, and served with peppercorn sauce made without alcohol
  • Non-Alcoholic Pairing £35 Tea, shrub, and botanical pours matched course by course instead of treated as a soft-drink substitute

    Editorial sample

    A rare London address where fully halal means the whole kitchen, not a footnote. The steak course was straightforward in the best way: good beef, clean sauce, confident pacing.

    Editorial sample

    The room works because it never apologises for being dry. The non-alcoholic pairing had structure, the lamb had proper depth, and dinner felt like a grown-up restaurant rather than a workaround.
