Paternoster Chop House is a modern British restaurant at 35 Old Bailey, close to St Paul’s Cathedral and the historic publishing streets of the City. The concept interprets Sir Terence Conran’s original chop house vision for a new generation, balancing established London dining traditions with a polished and welcoming setting.
Seasonal British produce shapes the menu, with signature chops and steaks taking a central role. Meat is sourced from partner farms selected for responsible animal husbandry and regenerative practices, while fish, vegetables and changing dishes give the kitchen room to follow the best ingredients available through the year.
Starters, substantial main courses and classic puddings allow guests to build a full meal, while bar food supports more casual visits. A considered wine list, beer, spirits, spritzes and cocktails complement the robust flavours and make the connected bar useful for both an aperitif and relaxed drinks after work.
The airy restaurant links directly with the bar and a spacious outdoor terrace, providing several ways to experience the venue. Its position near major City offices suits business lunches and client dinners, while group menus, a semi private dining room and event options accommodate celebrations and larger gatherings.
