Pasture Sous Chef
Pasture is an independent company that is 5 years old. Bristol was our first restaurant with our sister site Cardiff opening mid pandemic in 2020. Bristol now plays host to Radius which offers an intimate and immersive tasting menu experience. Sat around the beautiful marble bar, diners will be served seasonal and inventive dishes presented in person by our dedicated chefs.
Our restaurant is set for theatre and our open kitchen showcases charcoal grills and dry ageing cabinets displaying whole cuts of beef ready to be cut into our signature steaks. We select beef from farms in the southwest, all of which have been raised on Pasture. We only buy suckled Native breeds of beef and dry age it for a minimum of 35 days. Our in-house butchers cut the steaks fresh for each service. House cuts are generally larger steaks designed for sharing; these could range from 1kg Tomahawks & Porterhouse’s to the prize Chateaubriand. Our steaks are cooked over charcoal and wild cherry wood for extra flavour.
Pasture is a fresh food kitchen with everything being made in-house from the ice cream to all of the butchery. Working here as a chef will teach you a vast variety of skills and techniques which are essential to becoming a great chef.
There is a wealth of cooking experience within the current team and we are always pushing to be more creative and come up with innovative ideas. Being an independent restaurant allows everyone to have a say in the menu and try to bring their own personal flair to the dishes we serve. We change the menu seasonally and can make as many changes as we want throughout the year.
