Little Beast is the restaurant arm of Beast & Cleaver, a whole-animal butchery operation, and it puts that practice on the plate: dry-aged steaks, hand-crafted meat pies, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, and Sunday roasts with Yorkshire pudding, closing with sticky toffee pudding. Founder Kevin Smith built the menu around his London upbringing, aiming to bring traditional English cooking to a city that rarely sees it done this way.
The room seats just 41, giving the whole operation an intimate, close-quarters feel. Regulars point to the meat quality — an expected strength given the butchery roots — along with a staff that knows the menu well and desserts that stand out even against the savory lineup.
The James Beard Foundation named Little Beast a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2026.
