The ones on the right look good but less sure about the purple ones.

Sorry for crashing this thread.
Could any of you London chaps recommend a good steak and chip type resturaunt in the west end. Nothing poncy or trendy, just good honest food, although canât have chips with skin on or Anne will have a meltdown.

I love a really good steak, but I donât know what you mean by poncy. IME you wonât get anywhere near a decent aged steak if you donât do trendy and a bit expensive - as it is these places that know how to treat decent meat and to cook it.
you can get a decentish steak at Gaucho (branches all over London). The Guinea Grill in Mayfair is pretty good, but Hawksmore is one of my favourites. The very best I have had is the 38 day aged sirloin from Corriganâs also in Mayfair (but beware its not always on the menu)
I fear though all the places I recommend are likely to be in the categories you donât want to eat at.
actually thinking again try here http://www.chophouse-restaurant.co.uk/ a bit out the way at tower bridge, but they understand meat cookery
That menu look tasty!
I have had really nice roasts at Blacklock, but I donât rate their steaks - last time we went a few months ago, the chef couldnât do rare, I sent mine back twiceâŚ
As I have been a veggie for 35 years I am no steak expert but my wifeâs yank boss loves it there and every time heâs in London insists on taking us there. Plus I was trying to think of somewhere not too poncey which is becoming increasingly difficult in the west end 
you are certainly right about that, but there is two kinds of poncy, the kind that deserves it because they are genuinely good, and the kind that has pretences but is rubbishâŚ

Sorry guys I should have been a bit clearer - I meant places that are all style over substance.
Some good reccos thank you. 
Thanks they all look superb.
I had a healthy lunch- frittata packed with veg and some salad. Then ate half a chocolate orange.

Back to work, so itâs leftover Cottage Pie.
The Aberdeen steak house could never be accused of style over substance
