Pasture Sous Chef
Pasture is a Steak House & late night bar brought to you by Chef Owner Sam Elliott. Pasture restaurant is a celebration of fire-based cooking and incredible local ingredients. The in-house butchers handpick and prepare the very best meat from farms in the south west and our chefs use it to cook beautiful, modern dishes. In a nutshell Pasture is about fine dining for everyone, with slick, engaging service, top-quality food and a team whose knowledge is as strong as it’s passion.
In the heart of Cardiff in the shadows of the world famous Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is set for theatre with our open kitchen showcasing charcoal grills and dry ageing cabinets displaying whole cuts of beef ready to be cut into our signature steaks.
We select our beef from farms in Wales & the South West, all which have been raised on pasture. We only buy native suckling breeds of beef and dry age it for a minimum of 35 days. Our in house butchers cut the steaks fresh for each service. Our signature House Cuts are larger steaks designed for sharing these range from 1kg Tomahawks & Porterhouse to the prize Chateaubriand. The steak is cooked over coal and cherry wood for extra flavour. We’re proud to showcase local Welsh produce and have built great relationships with farmers and producers with more to come in the future.
