We’re not about safe. We’re about flavour. Loud, proud, live fire dining that delivers — every time.
The temper menu isn’t long for the sake of it. Every item hits hard, bringing together smoke, heat, acidity, and craft.
Dishes That Define Us:
• House-aged steak grilled over open flames
• Slow-smoked short rib with burnt chilli mole

• Smoked goat tacos with fire salsa

• Mezcal BBQ chicken thigh tacos
• Butcher’s cut with coal oil and pickled chillies
This is food that shows its scars. Food with flavour turned all the way up.

Food is flame. Drink is smoke. Together?
temper doesn’t do white tablecloths. We do live-action cooking. We do music loud enough to feel. We do chefs plating steaks in front of your seat and bartenders who know their spirits.
What You’ll Experience:
We don’t do formal. We do flavour-forward, fun-driven, fire-lit London restaurants that feel like nowhere else.
From West End theatres to Shoreditch bars, London is packed with options. But when you want real food, cooked in real time, by chefs you can see — temper leads the pack.
We’re not a rooftop spot. We’re not a hidden speakeasy. We’re right there, in the middle of it all, flames roaring, plates sizzling, guests locked in.
For a city with so many restaurants, we’re proud to be one that stands out.
