I state that I am a meat lover and living in the area it was recommended to me by several people. Unfortunately it was a disappointing experience, they gave us a table where the door was windy, I asked to close it and even a...pregnant woman had complained but they left it open because otherwise the place would have filled with smoke. Given the unbearable cold, I asked for a take-a-way dinner to be prepared and they charged me £147 for two people for a take-a-way. The meat was very tough, even though we live only 10 minutes walk from the restaurant. As a steak house not recommended.More

Excellent steak, perfectly cooked. We ordered several other dishes and it was hard to fault anything. Very well executed plates with great balance of flavours. Will go back for my third visit for sure.

The quality of the steak here is top standard. You wait a while for it to be cooked, but it is worth it. Staff friendly and helpful too.

Been meaning to write a review for this place for a while, have been several times in the past year. Always excellent service, and the food is of a v decent standard; perhaps not mind-blowing but consistently good. I like this place for a dinner...with friends, even better if someone else picks up the bill!More

The meats were fine, but did not exceed expectations. Selection seems limited (only one pork chop, one lamb and three steak options) for a Chop / Steak House and come without any sides, so those must be ordered separately. Only three of them from which...to choose. Appetizers were delicious. Most frustrating of all was the DULLNESS of the steak knives. It took so much effort to tear through the meat with a dull knife that we gave up! Each of us thinking it was our knife alone that was problematic it turned out to be all of them, at our table and the next. What a shame. They are a facsimile of the fabulous Laguiole knives, but nowhere near as functional or sharp! This could be remedied and would make the experience much more pleasant. Chairs not comfortable, and 40-60 minutes to prepare a steak, as stated on the menu and as was in fact the case, seems unnecessarily long. We will not rush back.More

This really lived up to the hype. Lovely, cosy, casual setting, serving up truly delicious plates of meat. If the osso bucco is on the menu, it’s a must. The Barnsley lamb chop was sublime, as were the crispy potatoes. Shared the chop between 2...with a couple of slides and 4 small plates - it was plenty. Shout out to Rahul our waiter, who absolutely made the meal. Thank you!More

“Our fathers of old were robust, stout, and strong, And kept open house, with good cheer all day long Which made their plump tenants rejoice in this song— Oh! The Roast Beef of old England, And old English Roast Beef!” There are popular misconceptions to...the effect that the UK is a culinary backwater, and that it is the New World that ‘owns’ beef – the USA, South America and Australia. Nothing could be further from the truth. London has some of the best steakhouses in the world, and the Chophouse ranks pretty much at the top. The variety and quality is unparalleled. The cuts are tender and bursting with flavour. Strongly recommended to order at least two different breeds and cuts so as to enjoy the nuanced differences in texture and taste. One of the best meals ever. To add to the pleasure, the staff are deeply knowledgeable about the menu and its provenance, and at least in our case, knew his way around a wine list. Exquisite.More

……menu. Bordering on odd. The food ended up being good, rather than great, if uninspiring. Very attentive staff, the same great atmosphere, of old, but the overall experience is very slightly underwhelming and on the expensive side.

Recently celebrated a birthday here. The character and quirkiness of the restaurant were charming and brilliant. The staff were lovely & attentive. However, the food was very overpriced for what it was. £96 for the rib eye alone (without any accompaniments) was, in my view,...a bit of a rip off - no matter how specially bred or rare the meat is. Had better at less pricey establishments I'm afraid.More

The salmon tail served with XO sauce was excellent. It’s never easy to choose what to eat, as every dish is always executed so well. I chose the crab meat for my second dish, which was delicious.

I don’t know for sure, but my guess would be no. Probably better to check directly with the restaurant directly on this.
