First time at Steak Ministry and we will definitely come back. We had steak as you do at a steak restaurant and we were not disappointed, tender, moist and delicious, could not stop eating as the twice cooked potatoes and the cous cous salad also fabulous. Highly recommend.

Eternally grateful that this is in our neighbourhood. Excellent pizzas, interesting wines by the glass, friendly and professional service, and remarkably keen prices (esp for Malvern). The tiramisu is delicious and a huge serve, so we share. We tend to book later in the evening as it can get noisy if big groups are in. Recommend booking as is super popular.
