Temper Menu

Temper Soho is the original restaurant in the Temper collection, bringing dramatic live fire cooking to a basement dining room beneath Broadwick Street. Opened in 2016, it centres the experience around a custom fire pit and an open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs work. The combination of flame, smoke and an energetic room gives the restaurant a distinctive identity in a part of London already known for adventurous food and nightlife.

British beef is a major focus, with whole animals sourced from North Yorkshire farmer Charles Ashbridge before being aged and butchered by the restaurant’s own team. Cuts are prepared in house and cooked over open flames, allowing the natural richness of the meat to meet the deep flavour created by the fire. This whole animal approach also helps the kitchen make thoughtful use of different cuts rather than concentrating only on familiar steaks.

The menu extends beyond steak through handmade corn tacos, smoked meats, flatbreads and dishes designed for sharing. Bold sauces and carefully chosen sides reinforce the generous style of cooking, while vegetable dishes provide contrast to the richness of the grill. Weekend brunch, the popular Sunday roast and changing feasting menus offer different reasons to visit, but the live fire remains the link that gives the food its recognisable character.

Counter seats facing the kitchen place diners close to the action, while booths and private spaces suit groups and celebrations. The atmosphere is informal and animated, making Temper equally appropriate for a spontaneous Soho meal or a longer gathering built around shared plates. Close to Carnaby Street, Oxford Circus and the wider West End, the restaurant combines a convenient central location with a dining experience shaped by fire, skilled butchery and confident flavour.
