Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill honour the Brazilian Gaúcho’s traditional method of cooking. This involves taking the most delicious and flavoursome cuts of meat, which are then skewered and cooked slowly on open flames. This method of cooking also means that all the meat served to you fresh at your table, straight from the grill. You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different! We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

    Great service with some delicious cuts of meat. The typical Brazilian offering. New location in a good part of town. Very family friendly. Will go again.

    The service was excellent from all colleagues. We had a great seat in the window overlooking the river, but in hindsight we probably should have sat further along as we were right in the corner and felt a little bit tucked away. The meat was great, especially the chicken and the gammon, and it was all very hot. The included sides of fries, garlic bread and pineapple were excellent.

    The biggest shock to me was receiving the bill at the end for two adults and two children nearly £150. If you were going to no to eat 3 or 4 plates of food then definitely worth it but we had one plate each and really didn’t feel that it was worth what we paid. The children’s didn’t eat meat at all so felt like a complete waste. I wouldn’t visit again… it’s a place for people with bigger stomach capacities who will get their monies worth.

    There wasn’t a good selection of beef brought out, felt mainly like other meat options like sausages, chicken, gammon and pineapple at one point. We had a pork option but it was mostly gristle and fat so couldn’t be eaten. At one point sat for 10 minutes before an option we wanted came around. It felt like there was a bit tension between staff members as well, some of the servers didn’t come across as friendly and happy.

    So the food was very good. However, this is basically 60 pounds per head for food and one drink. They then charge you 10 percent gratuity (which you have the right to reject) and then, on top of that, on the bill there is a £1 Zizi donation. I have no idea what that is,but come on, I'm not haggling over £1, but like you don't get enough off of us. It was packed to be fair. But it was not worth 60 pounds...and the £1 on top for 'charity'.
