About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Good for business meals
The St.John's Chop House is the sister restaurant to The Cambridge Chop House on King's Parade. Once again the emphasis is on traditional British food, locally sourced, seasonal and all served with our friendly efficient service.
Sharing dishes play a big part in the make-up of the menu with, for example, whole slow roasted shoulders of lamb available for groups of 4-6.
The restaurant inhabits a 200-year-old former Almshouse and is deceptively large with 5 separate dining areas and a secluded rear garden/patio. It can accommodate parties of up to 50 and a variety of set menus are available which can be tailored to your individual requirements.
A great value set lunch/early bird menu is available 12-3pm and 6-7pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). 2 courses for £15 and 3 courses for £19. Outside tables cannot be booked but on arrival if you do wish to sit outside then please ask.

    Booked for my wife 's birthday. Peak time on a Saturday evening but we were taken straight to our table and received excellent service all night. Food was superb. Four of us shared the sharing board then followed with a steak , a pork escalope and 2 stuffed lamb specials. We shared a pudding and had 2 coffees, 2 soft drinks, A pint and a bottle of champagne. Bill came to £41 a head including tip. Fantastic food and service and good value for the quality of the food. Would recommend to anyone. Only negative was limited beers available, but you would go here for the food primarily.

    The St. John Chop house was a delightful little gastro pub. We had the lamb rack to share and it was perfectly cooked! Definitely worth a visit

    Easy location in Cambridge to meet without all the usual hassle. Lovely building and a great ambience. Staff very accommodating and we overstayed our welcome but they didn't seem to mind. Food was delicious - we only had the soup and main meal finished with a nice coffee. Highly recommend.

    My Food had been left under the heat lamp too long my red cabbage was dry. My partner had a very chewy steak and although the manager compensate he did try the explain the reasons why it was poor in all honesty coming from a family run butchers and eating steaks all over the world, it was just poor quality.
