About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups

We are bringing back the great British Chop House – harking back to a time when meat was king, portions were hearty and provenance was everything. Enjoy larger sharing cuts cooked on open charcoal grills, in Josper ovens or on spit roasts, alongside daily specials inspired by the best the British Isles have to offer.

    Food was nice but expected better for the price £92 chateaubriand ordered medium rare came well done except for a totally uncooked sliver in the middle. At this price, I’d expect the chef to know how to cook big cuts.

    This is the place if you are looking for great steak in a casual and lively environment. We landed at Paternoster after a week filled with all the ethnic foods and found this perfect spot for more traditional food. The ribeye was on point. The separate sides lacked some selection on the veggie side, but the mash potatoes and fries were good. The comments from our table said it was the best meal of the week. I agree.
    Paternoster Chop HouseResponded on March 20, 2025
    Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing us after your week of exploring different cuisines! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the ribeye and that it stood out as the highlight of your week. We also appreciate your feedback on the veggie sides—it's something we'll definitely take into consideration as we continue to improve. We're so glad we could provide the perfect spot for a more traditional meal. We hope to welcome you back next time you're in town!
