02The beef

The board is mostly British, and it leans on ex-dairy and slower-growing cattle. The menu says the meat board comes from a small group of British farms with free-range cattle, regenerative practices and slower-growing herds. Ex-dairy animals feature twice: Friesian/Jersey from West Scotland at 40 days, and Holstein/Shorthorn sirloin from Ireland at 50 days. Hereford chateaubriand and fillet, Shorthorn rib-eye and Angus rump are all aged 30 days; the Shorthorn tomahawk 38. The imports carry grades rather than days: Black Kagoshima A5 wagyu rib-eye (£130) and fillet (£135), a USDA Prime New York strip (£65) and a Jack's Creek wagyu/Angus sirloin from Australia (£100). Herons Farm in Coggeshall, Essex, supplies the prime rib; the house describes it as known for native breeds. The number: 45 days.

03The fire

Hot Dinners wrote in 2017 that the Hereford T-bones and tomahawks are cooked on the grill, and The Nudge in 2018 that most cuts are seared there. No source names the fuel. The prime rib is different: slow-roasted for six hours in the house seasoning, then carved in the room.

04The story

The building at 27–35 Poultry was the Midland Bank headquarters, built between 1924 and 1929 to designs by Edwin Lutyens and listed Grade I; it is now The Ned, named after him. Lutyens Grill occupies the old bank manager's office, with lighting based on an original Lutyens design. For its first year it was open only to members and hotel guests; it opened to the public on Saturday, Dec. 9, 2017. In 2018 The Nudge counted about 15 steaks from the British Isles, New Zealand, Japan and Uruguay. In 2025 it was No. 39 in World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants; in 2026, No. 35.
