British dining room & wine bar, known for confit potatoes
"The Quality Chop House follows the lead of traditional British cooking with subtle refinements. British classics are both reinvented in QCH’s Grade II-listed, low-lit, wood-panelled Clerkenwell room, and also perfected. Their confit potatoes have a BTS-style following of their own but it’s other things, like their mangalitsa black pudding with apple pureé, or their spongy slab of ginger parkin with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream." - jake missing
"Restaurant, deli and wine bar all share equal claim for this entry. Set in an old working mans chop house the listed benches and tables are appropriately spartan, everything is focused on the food. Sitting with your knees touching your dinner partner is a small price to pay for the seasonal, British set menu that is a real culinary treat. Floral plates and the best waiting staff round of this charming, intimate and memorable restaurant. The wine bar has (we’re assured by people who know), some exotic and exciting bottles that can’t be found anywhere else. The deli and butchers next door is where to go if you want to cook your own delicious food from their range of carefully selected specialist and staple produce. They do an impressive selection of fresh cakes and sandwiches too." - Kin
"You come to Quality Chop House for a hearty, refined take on British cooking and, from Tuesday to Friday, one of London’s best set lunches. The Clerkenwell restaurant has a fortnightly changing lunch menu that will make you feel like a medieval monarch done good. Luxurious Devon crab rarebit, glazed beef cheek with mashed potato, and treacle tart have all featured in the past." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"What To Get: Mangalitza croquettes, rib-eye, and confit potatoes. Time Capsule Factor: The Grade II-listed building in Clerkenwell is one of London’s most treasured dining rooms. Sitting down in an old Victorian church pew with a plate of spectacular rib-eye and a bowl of legendary confit potatoes will make anyone develop a strange yearning for gout." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
"Quality Chop House is a Clerkenwell institution that screams red meat and gout, given its Grade II-listed Victorian aesthetic and its British menu. Hereford bavette steak, bone-in rib-eye, a hunk of Sussex sirloin. The choice and size depends on how many carnivores are in your group. The more straightforward decision lies in their sides. Those famous, intricate, many-layered, crispy confit potatoes are an absolute non-negotiable order." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
