Aberdeen Steak Houses was started in the early 1960s by Reginald Eastwood[1](born c.1913[2]), who had started in business aged 15 as an apprentice butcher.[1] Eastwood's vision was for a more modern version of the earlier chop-house grills, and was influenced by American steak houses. The décor was opulent, with plate glass windows and red velour banquettes. Menus included trendy dishes like prawn cocktail and Black Forest gateau. The Good Food Guide of the 1960s listed the restaurants.[3] Eastwood and partner Thomas Beale floated the company on 6 February 1964.[2] In 1965, it was bought by Golden Egg cafeterias.[4].
