Caxton Grill Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Caxton Grill feels like a confident summary of modern British dining with global accents, bringing together premium produce, clear technique, and thoughtful variety. The starters alone set the tone, ranging from the refined St. Ermin’s spiced rum cured salmon with salmon mousse and caviar, to the clean, umami-driven Seared tuna with furikake, and the indulgent, crowd-pleasing Burrata with smoky red pepper coulis. Vegetarian and vegan diners are equally well considered with dishes such as Balsamic glazed candy beetroot with puffed rice and the deeply flavored Smoked charred marinated octopus for those seeking something more robust. Moving into the mains, the kitchen balances comfort and sophistication, whether it’s the rich Freedown Hill Wagyu steak burger, the ever-changing appeal of Catch of the day - fresh fish daily from around Britain’s shoreline, or the luxurious Whole Native lobster with garlic butter. Bold spices shine in the Harissa lamb chops, while pasta lovers will appreciate the earthy depth of Homemade linguine with mushroom sauce & black truffle. For meat enthusiasts, the Butcher’s Block is a clear highlight, showcasing expertly sourced and aged cuts like the impressive Grass-fed Aberdeen Angus - 28 day dry aged tomahawk steak 1.1kg, the well-marbled Warrendale Wagyu flat iron steak, 300g, and classics such as 28 day dry aged rib-eye steak, 350g and Surrey Farm 28 day dry aged sirloin steak, 300g, all reinforcing the restaurant’s grill-focused identity. The sides, including Triple cooked chips, Tenderstem broccoli with crispy shallot, and Green beans with pickled shallots and herb toasted breadcrumbs, are thoughtfully composed to complement rather than distract. Desserts bring the menu to a polished close, from the fresh, aromatic Guava mousse to indulgent favorites like Banoffee cheesecake and the rich Chocolate and cherry crémeux, ensuring a satisfying finish. Overall, the menu feels cohesive and well-judged, offering something for every palate while staying true to Caxton Grill’s elegant yet approachable character.
