Head Chef

As the name might suggest, D&D London’s Chop Houses take inspiration from the 19th Century traditional Chop House – marrying good food, engaging service and convivial atmosphere. In the heart of the City of London, an area once famed for its Chop Houses, the menu offering across the three sites is a refinement of those establishments.
Menus are inspired by the Chop House “brief and tradition”, changing frequently, daily specials, always seasonal carefully sourced ingredients, aged cuts of meat, free range poultry, wild game, day boat fish and crustaceans, the food style showcases excellence and skilled cooking, some restrained contemporary influences and flavours, so creating a balanced alluring offer.
