| Top 5 Chophouses |
| 'When you revisit a restaurant after quite a long gap the prices can surprise you, either nicely or horribly. It was definitely the former at this 'Progressive Working Class Caterer'..where the robust menu offers something for everybody.' |
| Fay Maschler, Evening Standard |
 |
| 'The Quality Chop House, a mere stumble up Farringdon Road is the best works canteen possible..Not to be missed.' |
| Roger Alton, Observer |
 |
| 'Original Victorian decor and strong un-mucked-about British cooking (both modern and traditional) have earned the Quality Chop House high standing in the capital and a loyal clientele. The QCH suits most tastes and wallets. Favorites are salmon fishcake with sorrel sauce and lamb chops. Ambience is informal and relaxed, and the bar is friendly, as befits the self-proclaimed progressive working class caterer.' |
| Top Table Review |
 |
| 'The original room has retained its elegant wooden pews, black and white diamond flooring and mirrored walls. A low-key but reliable venue.' |
| Time Out |
 |
'The menu may have changed
but the Quality Chop House is still the best place to come if your
after hearty, no-nonsense, traditional British food at reasonable
prices. |
| 'Complete with calves liver and a grilled lamb chop – could this be the biggest breakfast in Finsbury? The St George’s Breakfast at the Quality Chop House in Farringdon Road offers more than the traditional greasy fry-up.' |
| The Islington Gazette |
 |
| 'This Clerkenwell classic is
under new management & all the better for it. Now open for hearty
breakfasts, it has also undergone a major refurbishment, which added
a new bar & placed clever extendable cushions atop the bench-like
seats. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is of the very best quality.' |
| Square Meal |
| 'The Quality Chop House has been a mainstay of good eating in Farringdon, London N1, for years. The area has been transformed in the last decade, with a welter of trendy restaurants in Exmouth Market, but the QCH, round the corner on Farringdon Road, has stuck to its guns, serving its take on classic British cuisine (take a butcher’s at that full English)' |
| Financial Solutions |
 |
| 'An impressive menu boasting
hearty British cuisine with an ‘eloquent twist’.
The restaurant has maintained its original Victorian features. Its black and white chequered floor, oak table and pews gives it a shabby chic feel.' |
| G3 Magazine |
| 'I’ll definitely be going back to The Quality Chop House. If you like superior quality meat cooked skilfully, but simply, then this is the place that you must visit. I’ve not eaten a better beef chop anywhere in any part of town – east, west, north and south.' |
| Angel Magazine |
| 'The Quality Chop House offers a wide selection of no-nonsense dishes. Over the last decade, dozens of gastropubs have sprung up offering the same recipe of upmarket British favourites – few offer the authentic surroundings of this EC1 institution.' |
| Boyz Magazine |
| 'The Quality Chop House provides an outstanding service. It has a pleasant welcoming atmosphere and offers excellent wholesome food at very reasonable prices. I thoroughly recommend it.' |
| Alex Leitch |
| 'The Quality Chop House is one
of London's hidden restaurant gems. As someone who eats out a lot,
it's the one place I keep coming back to. It's got one of the most eclectic menus you'll find. Where else could you order caviar as a starter and bacon, egg and chips as the main - and the waiters don't bat an eyelid? Excellent for steak and kidney pie and you won't get a better corned beef hash anywhere, and there's always fresh fish and salads for health conscious diners. Small, historic and unpretentious, this 'progressive working caterer' is always a good talking point when entertaining guests. The school type tables and benches give it a warm and cosy feel and the staff are unfailingly friendly.' |
| John Perkins Managing Director, IRN |
| '‘The Quality Chop House’ on Farringdon Road is a big favourite. No nonsense British food with great friends makes for a perfect evening." |
| Sarah-Jane Potts, Actress |
| '‘Dear Quality Chop House, My girlfriend and I had dinner at your restaurant last Saturday night. It was delicious - especially, I think, the beautifully pink veal rump. The service was faultless and friendly, and the bill less than expected. We will definitely be returning (we live just down Farringdon Road). Thanks very much. I'm rarely driven to send mails like this." |
