The Quality Chop House

Farringdon, London

A fascinating find, the Quality Chop House on Farringdon Road, London, dates back over 150 years and is an institution.

Head chef Shaun Searley, who has led the pass since 2012, sources only the best food from the British Isles.

It truly is a unique venue featuring Grade II listed benches and a chop house history that is almost but forgotten across the land – despite such venues being an important part of the UK’s culinary history.

On the menu you will find dishes such as pastrami-cured salmon with fine herbs and horseradish crème fraiche; fallow deer with turnip, smoked butter sauce and Exmoor caviar; and drunken pecan tart with clementine ice cream.
