First time at this restaurant for a few years. I took a client here for lunch. Really liked the menu. For starters I had the goats cheese and figs which was very good and the walnuts were amazing, sweet and chewy with a crunch. For mains we both had the steak sandwich. The steak was very chewy and not very good quality. We did bring it to the attention of the waiter but nothing else happened which was disappointing.

Good food, lovely location but 3 steaks and a fish n chips took 85 min from ordering. Constantly out of water. It was only about 70% full.

I enjoyed an excellent lunch here. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff remained attentive and provided fantastic service. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with flavourful sides that, while a bit small, complemented the meal well. Overall, a wonderful experience—I look forward to returning soon!

Food was excellent, surprisingly the restaurant was quiet (only 3 tables in) on a Saturday night at 19:00. Therefore atmosphere was missing. Overall very good because of the quality of food.

The Chophouse was relatively quiet for a thursday evening. We ordered the Chateaubriand to be cooked MEDIUM and what we were served was more MEDIUM - WELL with very little pink visible, very surprising for a steakhouse. The sides were good and friend who has the cheeseburger also enjoyed. Service was pretty good. Quite expensive overall and not sure I would recommend to friends. We chose this venue based on it's appearance on First Dates UK however the place has had a massive makeover since the show was filmed there and is no longer instantly recognisable so woudl not recommend if you wanted to experience it as a former TV show venue.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that the Chateaubriand was not cooked to your preferred temperature; ensuring each dish is prepared to perfection is very important to us. We’re glad to know that you enjoyed the sides and that your friend was pleased with their cheeseburger. We understand the charm of dining at a familiar venue from TV, and we’re sorry if the new venue changed that experience for you. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try, and we’d be more than happy to ensure your next visit is more memorable. Thank you again for your feedback!

Wonderful dining experience! The service was excellent. They are attentive to details. If you have allergies (like my husband) they are very conscientious about guiding you to appropriate things on the menu. We enjoyed the ribeye and the pork chop. Both were seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. The steamed spinach was wonderful and the chips were hot and crispy. Highly recommend

I went here this evening for my partners birthday. We were given with two glasses of complementary bubbles on arrival which was unexpected. We then had a great meal and to top it off they gave my partner a complementary dessert. Perfect location for couples. Really nice setting, great staff and fantastic food. Well worth the money.
