Quality Chop House - Farringdon, London



British food is gaining a good reputation, and the Quality Chop House in Chancery Lane reinforces this. Here is a restaurant to be proud of. The food is simple and only uses seasonal ingredients.

The restaurant has a canteen feel to it with brown wood benches that resemble a posh school canteen. The food, however is far from that which you ate at school. Robust, seasonal, delicious, makes this food to be proud of. I ate the seared Scallops with Creamed Jerusalem Artichokes and Crispy Bacon to start (£10.95). The scallops were perfectly cooked and the bacon added a lovely salty finish. I followed with the Pork Chops, Black Pudding Hash and Crackling (£14.95) and boy did it deliver. The black pudding was moist yet crumbly, the crackling was so crispy that had I thrown it at the waiter he'd have been in serious trouble, and the pork was moist and tender.

If you want traditional British food here is a place to try. The price is slightly steep however, but I didn't mind as it made up for it with lashings of flavour.
