Based on 713 reviewsCharcoal Grill is widely praised for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, characterized by attentive service and a cozy, rustic environment.

Lovely restaurant, friendly and homey place to enjoy a nice cosy dinner. Owner very welcoming and makes time for each table. Food is amazing, delicious and well presented. We went back again to enjoy a huge juicy lobster with other dishes. Recommended place to eat if you are in the area.
Absolutely fantastic experience and incredibly delicious food! More than highly recommend, whether you’re nearby or just wanting to travel for a fantastic steak.We called ahead to ask what time they served until, staff were incredibly kind and communicative. We arrived and were met with warmth and enthusiasm.Even though we arrived on the cusp of last orders, our server was incredibly patient with us and never made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions with ease.We both ordered the rib-eye steak medium rare. Steak sauces are extra, but for the price, you receive an entire gravy boat of sauce which is absolutely delicious and super generous. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and beautifully flavourful. We enjoyed them so much more than chain competitors and even other more mainstream steakhouses.We will absolutely come back again, thank you for such a wonderful rare and amazing experience. I would give 100 stars if I could! x
My partner and I wandered in to Charcoal Grill on the off chance a few months back after walking out of another restaurant and were blown away by the service and food.We booked to come back again last night, the place didn't stop, customers in and out all night, it was so busy, this didn't stop the same level of service, hospitality and amazing food we had previously, despite how busy they were, such a friendly relaxed atmosphere too.You almost feel like you're family visiting relatives.Highly recommend the Scallops and Steak which were cooked to perfection and a proper Sherry Trifle too!Thank you for a lovely evening.We will certainly be back.
Soooo good! I had a delicious t-bone steak with the most divine peppercorn sauce. Really enjoyed it. The restaurant itself was uncomfortably hot when we went but it was packed! As it emptied out the temperature got much more bearable. Recommend if you're a steak lover
Great RestaurantIt's a relatively old restaurant. But it's not a problem at all. It has survived so long it means it's quite competitive locally in my opinion.The environment is cosy and rustic but well cleaned. It provides extra seats for the table for two customers to put their stuff. Tables are not too close to each other that make every customer have more personal space.The menu is massive. It took us a while to make decisions.The food was in generous size. The lamb fell off the bone, very tender. It was enough for a male adult. The rice was well flavoured, I think it was cooked with broth.The seafood was well cooked. The chips were generous amount and hot.The staff are nice and helpful.Looking forward to the next visit.
Excellent quality food, just the freshest products cooked on charcoal, with an amazing authentic recipe. Very professional polite and friendly staff.Quite and peaceful vibe.Best of the best place where I’ve been before. They really know how to cook 10/10Spasibo
This lovely little family run gem was perfect!Amazing service, all the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable.The food was outstanding!
Visited this restaurant 10 years ago and it was good then. This is a very unassuming place. It may not look that fantastic but it is - because it is so well used and loved by all. Lots of varied dishes on the menu. Just for a change we had a roast dinner. Gosh, it was just like a homemade Sunday lunch. Prices very reasonable indeed. Try and get in early if you can but you have to book ahead in high season. It is a gem.
