The Quality Chop House is a landmark British restaurant spanning 88-94 Farringdon Road. The institution celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2019, and its atmospheric dining room retains distinctive Grade II listed benches. Today the cooking respects the site’s history while presenting a confident contemporary view of carefully sourced British produce.
The kitchen writes its menu each day according to the best ingredients available from trusted farms and suppliers. Sourdough with Jersey butter, British pork croquettes and chicken liver parfait can begin the meal, while changing starters may bring cured or smoked meat, seasonal vegetables, crab, eel or other seafood into precise but generous combinations.
Steaks and chops remain important, with cuts selected for flavour and paired with sauces, vegetables and the restaurant’s celebrated confit potatoes. Fish and vegetable main courses reflect the same seasonal approach, and feasting menus collect snacks, shared starters, a main course with sides and dessert into a generous experience for the whole table.
A weekday set lunch changes every fortnight, while Sunday lunch always includes a selection of roasts with Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. Seasonal desserts and British or French cheese provide a fitting finish. Wine is a defining part of the restaurant, with particular strength in Burgundy and the Rhône, while house cocktails use seasonal ingredients in the same spirit as the food.
