The story
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.
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.
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.
