Nick Taplin, chief executive of Black and White Hospitality, said: "Islington is such a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood and we are delighted to bring the Steakhouse ethos to this corner of London.

"Our guests will appreciate that they can visit us not only for a very good meal but also an excellent evening out, and it's that positive sense of experience that sets us apart.

Peadar McFadden, general manager at the DoubleTree by Hilton Islington, said: "It's wonderful news for our hotel guests and visiting diners that we have been able to attract such an authentic and exciting restaurant to the hotel.

"We are confident of delivering a high quality product that can become a real destination for local food lovers and help us achieve genuine stand-out appeal to customers booking hotels in the area."
