The Cambridge Chop House was the first of our two Chop Houses. It is in the heart of the city centre, 50 yards from King’s College Chapel and a similar distance from the Arts Theatre.
The restaurant has a wonderful cellar area with spacious, white washed walls and the ground floor area has spectacular views.
The food is traditional British, no nonsense and keenly presented. We take our real ales very seriously and serve local ales straight from the cask at sensible prices. The wine list is thorough and imaginative. Service is knowledgeable, smiley and efficient.
Lovely restaurant immediately opposite Kings College. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed with hearty food. The burgers here are outstanding. One of our guest’s meat dishes wasn’t great (tough) but the staff were very responsive and replaced it as quickly as they could. Impressive. I can highly recommend the chocolate tart dessert which came with an incredible tangy berry compote - perfect!
Loved this place. Had a beautifully cooked fillet steak. Mash and mushroom sauce also lovely. Whole table really enjoyed their meals. Got the sharing platter to start, some interesting takes on classic British food such as haggis fritters! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would recommend booking in advance and getting a table upstairs. Sticker toffee pudding perhaps a tad too sweet
Delicious food, especially the starters. My steak was cooked to perfection and exactly as requested. Staff were friendly and attentive. Easily accommodated us with a pram which we were delighted with. Would recommend and will definitely return!
I have to say I was disappointed. I wanted to come to this place since the first day I arrived at Cambridge. However the quality and service didn’t meet my expectation. The appetiser were good, but the porterhouse we ordered was burnt. So I asked for solution when my server came to ask, and the manager told us there is no way to get this fixed cuz the fillet part supposed to be thinner. So a chophouse can’t serve proper classic steak? Eventually we were convinced to change our order to a regular fillet, it was fine. The venison was also over cooked, the meat was dry and hard. The overall experience made me dissatisfied, the quality of steak is under expectation.
We made a reservation for Sunday at 12.30 lunch time to try their roast dinner. We arrived ahead of schedule, around 12.10. Despite this, the host was very welcoming and quickly showed us to our table. Once seated, we ordered two soft drinks (rhubarb lemonade and a ginger beer) and two roast dinners - pork belly and chicken. The drinks were brought first and then after another 5 minutes, the roasts came. Once we started eating, my partner told me that her chicken was very dry, and she asked the waiter to bring some extra gravy. My dish had a bit too much fat for my liking, although the taste was ok. I ate everything apart from the extra fat, as the picture shows. We did not receive a check-back whilst eating. However when we were getting ready to pay for the bill, we gave our feedback to the host. At this point, Vito - our host, was very professional and offered his apologies for the weak points of the dishes and from the original bill he deducted the chicken roast. We were very pleasantly surprised by this and whenever we'll be back around the area, we'll try one of their other dishes. I had originally planned to give 3 ⭐, however Vito has gone above and beyond, so just for him I'll give 4 ⭐
