Quality Chop House expertly and unfussily showcases all that’s great about traditional British food, while feeling as modern and dynamic as anywhere in London in 2016.
You can eat in a living, breathing part of London’s history.
In a city with as much history as London, having your dinner in a 150-year-old building is perhaps not that unusual. But what is unusual about this quaint spot near Kings Cross is that it has been a restaurant for all that time – this isn’t some trendy repurposed butchers or exposed-brick former warehouse. Quality Chop was always made to be eaten in.
The atmosphere is hunger-inducing.
And there’s something about the beautiful purpose-built furniture and original Victorian fixtures and fittings that makes sitting down here a real experience even before you see the menu. Your participation in the theatre of dinner makes you part of an unbroken chain of happy diners stretching back to the days of Gladstone.

But the food is no museum piece.
Yes, the menu at Quality Chop takes its queues from the fine British Chop House traditions of the past, serving impeccably-sourced game birds and wonderful dry-aged joints of beef. But all the dishes are, thanks to chef Shaun Searley, treated to the very latest culinary knowhow, and are as vibrant and exciting as anything else available in town.
It’s not all about the red meat.
Quality Chop House is not bound by the nature of its name or traditions. Its just as home serving huge, fresh langoustine with garlic mayonnaise, or vast meaty fillets of cod hours off the boat from Cornwall. All treated to the same expert touch in the kitchen but presented simply and beautifully.
