The Quality Chop House celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2019.

We are hugely proud and humbled to be the custodians of this institution – although its history isn’t leant on too much. Our menu is contemporary whilst simultaneously respectful to and proud of the site’s ‘meaty’ past – in fact, we even opened a butcher’s next door!

Our executive chef Shaun Searley has been on the pass since day 1 of QCH’s current incarnation in 2012 and is passionate about working with the best suppliers we can find in the British Isles – a passion which with our head chef Nathan Chapman and the rest of the kitchen team.

We love running this unique restaurant (yes, even those Grade-II listed benches…) and are honoured it is so often chosen by our guests as the spot to celebrate something special – should this be the case please don’t hesitate to let us know when making the reservation. Our team, led by our GM Hannah Khoyratty, are always keen to make each experience as special as possible.

We hope to see you here soon

MAKE A RESERVATION

Wine

Wine has been central to our identity since we re-opened The Quality Chop House in 2012. We celebrate its potential in all its diverse forms and aim to have competitive and interesting bottles at all price points.

From our first service we have always tried to source bottles from the more storied regions of the wine-producing world, particularly Burgundy and the Rhone, and whilst it’s becoming harder and harder to find very-rare offerings we aim to when we can and you will find a couple of these always available on our blackboards. At the entry level of the list we try to find great value wines often with a little bit more age than you might find in other venues – we find 5-10 year old reds (and often whites) particularly well-suited to our food compared to their younger counterparts.

Before you consider all that, we would politely suggest a look at our much-loved cocktail list. Whereas all the classics are available you will also find plenty of unique QCH creations, imagined and executed with seasonal produce in mind, just as our menu is.

Private Room

Our first floor air-conditioned Private Room with its generous dining table, period features and abundant natural light has become a firm favourite of many regulars over the years. It seats 7 to 14 guests and you will have a waiter who looks after you throughout the duration of your meal.

 

Our Feasting Menus 

We offer two feasting style menus for the table to share. Firstly, our £90 menu features favourite dishes from our current menu, with shared starters & snacks followed by a main course for the table with sides and a seasonal dessert.

Our £125 QCH feasting menu (available January to November) offers a true feast with an additional fish course as well as some iconic dishes from our history – including our chicken liver parfait with truffle and our iconic confit potatoes for the table.

On Sundays, we serve the main course with an array of sides, including Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. You can find a sample menu here.

 

Weekday Express Lunch Menu

For a more time conscious option, our £55 weekday express menu is available Tuesday to Friday at lunch and consists of an individually plated first course, main and dessert and is designed to be comfortably enjoyed within an hour and a half whilst still allowing us to showcase the same seasonal cooking and hospitality of our grander feasting menus.

 

THE FESTIVE SEASON

During the festive period our £100 QCH Christmas feasting menu offers a true feast with an additional fish course as well as some iconic dishes from our history – including our chicken liver parfait with truffle and our iconic confit potatoes for the table.

 

Cancellation Policy

We kindly request at least 2 weeks’ notice for cancellations. In the unlikely event of less notice, we will regrettably request a cancellation fee of £40 per person. Cancellations on the day will incur a £80 per person fee for lunch / £100 per person fee for dinner.
