"What do we miss most about the Quality Chop House? Everything. Literally everything. From the ye-olde-listed 19th Century room, to the wedge of ginger parkin with butterscotch and ice cream. Though you can’t quite enjoy either of those things yet, QCH is now cooking a full menu from Wednesday - Saturday for collection or delivery" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"You, your grandmother, and every person who has a secret crush on Colin Firth knows that the Christmas season is all about the period drama. And Quality Chop House in Clerkenwell is the period drama of London restaurants. It's a proper old-school British restaurant with things like Christmas pudding ice cream with drunken pecan tart, as well as a whole turkey with sprouts and bacon. We can’t really think of a better place to go when you want to feel a bit Dickens and celebrate Christmas present with game terrine.

"Three courses: £29 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.

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
"In what can only be described as ‘The Greatest Deal Of All Time’, QCH is doing three absolute classics at lunchtime - their pork chop, confit potatoes, and olive oil ice cream - for an obscenely reasonable ten of your English pounds." - jake missing
