TOMAHAWK is already a proving a hit in Stockton Heath after opening yesterday afternoon, Thursday.

Photographer Mike Boden visited the premium steakhouse in London Road late morning on Friday when it was already starting to pack out.

The 85-cover restaurant specialises in the ‘finest Himalayan salt dry aged heritage and rare breed steak around’.

But Tomahawk also does full English breakfast, lunch options such as burgers, wraps and the signature shawarma board, a Sunday sharing board with three roast meats and all the trimmings and tempting desserts like a melting chocolate bombe.

The menus have been devised by executive chef Tom Sturman – keen to take a bite out of Stockton Heath’s renowned and competitive dining out scene.

But Tomahawk is also a bar so people on a night out can come in for the likes of specialist cocktails, wines and beers.

Howard Eggleston, Tomahawk co-founder, said: “The response we have had from the people of Stockton Heath has been beyond overwhelming, with support on social media in its thousands.

General manager Zoe Monk added: “We are really flattered to have such excitement and anticipation surrounding the opening – it’s been a long time coming and I’m really proud being a part of the team from the beginning, especially being from the area.
