Restaurant entrepreneurs have opened their latest venture which only sells two things - steak and chips.

Jamie Clark and Thomas Mudge, known as Beer and Feast, welcomed their first customers to Boeuf, in Rochester, last week.

The pair have been working on the new culinary venture, which has opened in the former micropub The Flippin’ Frog, along the Old High Street, and designing its menu for the past two years.

Speaking to KentOnline, Jamie said: “We were designing a burger for the pubs and came up with a sauce for a rich beef and we thought it needed to go with steak.

“It spiralled from there and we had this space and were scratching our heads about what to do with it.

“We kind of started a steak restaurant because we made a sauce. I do not know if it is a sauce restaurant that sells steak or a steak restaurant that sells sauce.”

Boeuf only serves the popular French and Belgian dish steak frites - steak and chips - making it the first of its kind in Medway.

Adding to its uniqueness, it serves sirloin pavé a rare, premium cut of beef which has the juicy tenderness of a fillet steak with the rich flavour of a sirloin.

Jamie said: “We know this is the best cut and no one is trying it. The main reason is because it yields less than other cuts and it is expensive.”

However, because it creates a smaller amount of beef, as part of the restaurant’s experience, diners get a second helping of steak frites.

The restaurant held a soft opening before its grand opening and is already almost fully booked.

Jamie added: “We have worked hard on the drink and food experience right down to the sauces and how we cook the steak and chips so it is good to see people enjoy it.

“As it is a new concept, we wanted to see if people grasped it and they did. They all loved the food.

“They said they did not feel they were in Kent and forgot they were in Rochester. It is not something we really thought about but we have been told it feels like they are in a French restaurant.”

Beer and Feast has a reputation for running popular places to eat out in the county, such as The Dead Pigeon, in Rochester, and The Greedy Banker, in Rainham.

It has also become the operator of Gravesend Borough Market, transforming it into a street food hotspot known as Hatch.
