Management Team

WE'RE HERE TO HELP
  • Steve Bowen, Founder, Owner + Managing Director

    Your brief work history: 
    I started as a management consultant for 10 years, then I was a co-founder of an out-sourcing business based in London for the next 10 years. Steak of the art is my next 10 year business, after that, there will be no more!

    How long have you been with us? 
    Since it was my dream.

    What do you love most about your job?  
    The people; I have the best team, and it’s a pleasure to work with them. If I didn’t love my team, I wouldn’t love my job like I do.

    What’s your favourite thing on our menu? 
    The Flat Iron steak...but it's close competitor is definitely the Sea Bass En Papillote!

    How do you like your steak? 
    Med-rare. Without a doubt.

  • STEVE LAKEMAN, OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

    Your brief work history:  
    I have been working in the hospitality business since 1998 (Wow, that makes me feel old!).  I have worked in all areas of the business, including training, sales, marketing, customer service, retail budgeting & planning.

    How long have you been with us?  
    From when it was just a grand plan in 2013.

    What do you love most about your job? 
    I’m so proud of the business and its provenance and sustainability. My theory to success is a focus on the team we recruit, the people we have are such a great bunch.

    What’s your favourite thing on our menu? 
    That’s a difficult question. The Rump.

    How do you like your steak? 
    Medium rare. 

  • HANNAH-JAYNE, ARTS, EVENTS & COMMUNITY MANAGER

    Your brief work history: 
    I have worked in restaurants since 2012, and retail and customer service since 2005.  I’m an arts graduate and have been involved in the arts since I was 4 years old, from writing through to performing and directing.

    How long have you been with us? 
    Since the day you were born - 2013!

    What do you love most about your job?  
    Its flexibility and opportunity. As an arts career goes, to have free artistic license and to dabble your fingers in a million (steak) pies is a rare opportunity, it’s pretty much a dream come true.

    What’s your favourite thing on our menu? 
    The Flat Iron steak - SO underated. 

    How do you like your steak? 
    As much as ‘alive’ as possible. Rare, please. 

  • DEBBIE CHADWICK, HR MANAGER

    Your brief work history:
    I have 30 years of retail and management experience, and I have recent qualifications in people management.

    How long have you been with us? 
    Since 2014. 

    What do you love most about your job? 
    The people. 100%. Is everyone saying this by any chance?!

    What’s your favourite thing on our menu? 
    It depends how naughty I’m feeling - the strip loin beef roast with all the trimmings! 

    How do you like your steak? 
    Medium-rare.
