The Quality Chop House is a curious amalgamation of dining room, wine bar, butcher’s and shop just around the corner from Exmouth Market. A range of British meats and daily provisions are sold next door, while the hospitality aspects take place in this Grade II-listed dining room – a charming and elegant throwback that has remained in its original 1869 configuration since opening.
There’s 130 wines from around the world to sample, and with booths suitable for parties of between three and six people and smaller tables for two, it’s well laid-out for a good time. Downstairs in the basement, head butcher Oliver Seabright runs whole carcass butchery classes.
