There were two large cuts and it was good to the last bite. It is served pink which the waitress informed me of upon ordering. The beef was simply beautiful and melted in my mouth.

You'd be forgiven for being disappointed at the sight of the dinner when it arrives if you're used to a big full plate but I'd argue that the portion size is just enough.

Träkol is on the pricier side with the beef being £17 and the lamb at £16 so it's not exactly somewhere to come on a budget. I decided to go for the beef dinner while my companion went for lamb. Not being one with a big appetite, I decided to forego a starter for fear I wouldn't even be able to tackle half of the main event but the options were Oysters for £4 each, tomato soup, potted pork, toast and pickles and smoked salmon with peas, broad beans and duck egg dressing. There's a varied selection of ales, ciders, wines and cocktails so you won't be stuck for choice. My dining partner tried out a Golden Ale from Wylam Brewery which was £4 and described to me as "flavoursome". I was in the mood for a big glass of red wine so settled on an Italian Nero d'Avola for £6.95 which hit the spot.

We were seated quickly by one of the friendly members of staff and placed by the kitchen which is something I love. Träkol has a lovely warm ambience that you might not expect from a place made of shipping containers and it feels very homely. We walked into Träkol mid-afternoon and it was bustling with most tables full. But after hearing rave reviews about their Sunday Lunches, I knew it was time to pay a visit.
