How Good is the Sunday Roast That Requires a Two-Month Reservation?

Quality Chop House , established in 1869 near Farringdon, is both a restaurant and a butcher & shop. My food critic neighbor once recommended their Sunday Roast, claiming it’s one of the best in London, but warned that it’s hard to get a reservation. He wasn’t kidding – I had to book over two months in advance to secure a spot! 🗓️ The Sunday menu offers 3 courses – appetizer, main course (roast meat), and dessert for £59. You can also order the roast meat separately for £30, except for the Aberdeen Angus Ribeye (a pricey £100 for 2). The menu includes pork, lamb, fish, and various cuts of beef. Snacks Recommendations : - Mangalitza Shoulder Croquettes : These pork croquettes are made from the shoulder of a rare Hungarian Mangalitza pig. The meat is stewed until tender and then deep-fried, served with black pepper aioli. They’re incredibly flavorful and aromatic! 🍖 - Smoked Cod’s Roe : This dish is also worth a try, with a hint of Spanish paprika. 🐟 Roast Meat : You’ve got to order the Ribeye cooked Medium Rare! Although the Aberdeen Angus Ribeye is pricier than other roasts, trust me, it’s the best value for your money. I’d rate the Ribeye 85/100, while everything else is around 70 or even lower. The Ribeye is worth every penny! 💰 Other Meat Options: - Aberdeen Angus Rump and Brisket : Also from the Aberdeen Angus breed, but the rump is just okay, and the brisket is quite salty. 🐂 - Suffolk Lamb Shoulder with Mint Sauce : It’s rare to find lamb that’s poorly cooked, but this one was very salty. 🐑 - Berkshire Pork Rump : Greasy and unappetizing – even the apple sauce couldn’t save it. 🐖 I’m not sure if it was just a bad day in the kitchen or their usual style, but every Yorkshire pudding was burnt black, resembling giant black mushrooms. 🍄 Overall, the experience wasn’t worth the long wait. Lower your expectations. 💭 Average Spend: £70 #LondonLife #UK #EastLondon #HiddenGemRestaurant #RestaurantVisit #RepeatVisitRestaurant #SundayRoast #BritishCuisine
