South Place Chop House

Think of the last Sunday roast you had. All the trimmings, the home comforts and the possible hangover? I’m sure it was a simple and relaxing time and I am rather jealous I wasn’t there to share it with you. However, the Roast Menu has made a triumphant return to South Place Chop House and I am not that sorry to say it is better than the last roast you had, and that’s not just because this time around for an extra £15 you can enjoy bottomless bubbles or wine (you hung over lot, are you still with me?)

The traditional menu first made an appearance back in 2017 when Head Chef Guy Betteridge took the reins at the hotel. Patrons have a choice of the best British meats available, including sirloin of Hereford beef, roast Goosnargh chicken and slow roasted belly of old spot pork. For veggies amongst us the South Place Chop House offers an autumnal parsnip, chestnut and hazelnut roast, each is accompanied by duck-fat roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, a rich onion gravy and creamy cauliflower cheese.

As a ‘red’ man, so to speak, naturally my choice was the Hereford beef. In a word: tender. Rich and full of flavour, perfectly paired with the Vino da Tavola. With every part of the meal complementing the proceeding bite, I found myself struggling to choose what to have next.

Now at this point you might be thinking ‘a roast is a roast, my Mum’s is the best, you’ve never tried it and that’s that’. I might be inclined to agree with you, but what South Place Chop House lacks in your hometown nostalgia it makes up for in understated sophistication and friendly, attentive staff. Plus, I’ve not even mentioned the dessert.

I somehow made room for a delightful Eton Mess with berry compote, very much the cherry on top of a perfect meal. A special mention for the chef, whipping a vegan dark chocolate and coconut pudding, with a nut and date base and mango sorbet on the fly for my partner.

South Place Chop House will be serving up the City’s most delicious, traditional roast dinners with bottomless wine until the seasons change, keeping you warm all winter long.
