We are bringing back the great British Chop House – harking back to a time when meat was king, portions were hearty and provenance was everything. Enjoy larger sharing cuts cooked on open charcoal grills, in Josper ovens or on spit roasts, alongside daily specials inspired by the best the British Isles have to offer.

This is the place if you are looking for great steak in a casual and lively environment. We landed at Paternoster after a week filled with all the ethnic foods and found this perfect spot for more traditional food. The ribeye was on point. The separate sides lacked some selection on the veggie side, but the mash potatoes and fries were good. The comments from our table said it was the best meal of the week. I agree.

Christmas so busy but placed at a table near the bar .We were then hemmed in by jovial but noisy drinkers who were inches from our food. Management seemed indifferent so we won’t be back

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations, especially during such a busy and festive time. We wish you had mentioned earlier that you were unhappy with your table placement, as we would have gladly moved you to a more comfortable spot. Your comfort and enjoyment are important to us, and we always aim to accommodate our guests as best we can. Additionally, it would have been helpful to address your concerns directly with the manager at the time, rather than expressing frustration as you were leaving. This would have given us the opportunity to resolve the issue on the spot and ensure a better experience for you. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve.
