The story

Steak & Honour serves award-winning American burgers in Cambridge

Chef and kitchen roots

Steak & Honour in Cambridge began under the direction of former Alimentum chef Leo Riethoff and his wife Charley. They opened their doors in 2012 with a focus on straightforward American cooking techniques. The business found its footing during the pandemic by streamlining operations for efficient takeaway service. This dedication to consistent quality recently secured their recognition as a Local Gem in the 2026 Good Food Guide.

Signature American burgers

The kitchen builds its reputation around American-style burgers designed for reliable flavour. Every order follows a strict routine of proper seasoning and high heat grilling. Plant-based alternatives sit alongside traditional beef patties to accommodate different diets. Diners often highlight the balanced toppings and fresh buns as the defining elements of their meals.

Flexible service model

Guests choose how they want to enjoy their meal whether sitting in or taking food elsewhere. Two mobile vans circulate weekly across suburbs like Newton and Linton for quick collection. A permanent counter on Mill Road handles walk-ins and advance group requests. The team also supplies The Tivoli pub with freshly prepared portions throughout the week.

History

On the record

2026
The Good Food Guide — Local Gem

Run by former Alimentum chef Leo Riethoff and his wife Charley, Steak & Honour opened back in 2012 but really took off in the pandemic as a takeaway. The American-style burgers are magnificent and can be sourced at the bricks-and-mortar base on Wheeler Street, at The Tivoli pub, or from one of their two vans that pop up in and around Cambridge.
