The food was great, the restaurant and staff were lovely, BUT they ran out of Pinot Grigio, they didnt have the main course available that both my husband and I chose, so we had to opt for something else, and the soup they were serving was not as shown on the menu! Not a great first impression! But that said, we did enjoy what we had, and would go back to give The Chophouse a second chance.

Amazing food and amazing venue with beautiful ambience perfect for a conversation with partner or friends over a meal or drink. I had the simply gorgeous Bone Marrow for starters as recommended by staff. For main i had gammon and smoked mash. The smoked mash was out of this world. Desserts were heavenly

Food was very good. Our table wasn't in a great spot, very cold every time other customers went out to the smoking area as we were right by the door. Felt like an extra table had been squeezed in to what should have been a walking area. Staff attentive although we had to ask for food menus after waiting for them for around 10 minutes after sitting down.

The food was excellent and the service attentive, but unhurried. We loved sitting outside in the garden before having desert. All in all, a great experience that we will repeat soon.

Attentive, friendly, smart, efficient and professional service by staff who know their product and take pride in their restaurant. Good, fresh, hot, clean tasting food, well presented Generous, flavoursome dishes, interesting choices from a menu that offers a chance to try something new with confidence. Surprisingly diverse, great use of ingredients. Unexpectedly "Vibrant"atmosphere thanks to a hen party in situ but that didn't spoil the eating despite somewhat limiting the opportunity for quiet conversation. Would recommend and revisit.

Brilliant service from staff that were attentive but not overbearing. Loved the little things like coming to our table with all the Tiptree gins so we could choose and their patience as we paid separately. We left with full bellies and big smiles. Well done team.

Nice venue although very noisy when it got busy. Table used for 4 was far too small so very cluttered. Starters and main menu good but desserts were a disaster. Very small on a large plate never looks good, one was not eaten due to it not being representative of the description and being tatsteless as well. Yes this was refunded and 1 complimentary coffee. A very expensive bill at the end finished off an overall ordinary experience so not what we call value for money and we do not worry about price as long as you get value.

Fab food, fab Prosecco! Our waiter Nial ensured our glasses were topped up from the moment we started sipping and he kept them full throughout our entire meal and after! The food was really good, the calamari was cooked perfectly and my beef stew and huge crispy dumpling was spot on....rich and full of flavour. We will be returning!

Excellent food and service as usual. Wanted to leave a tip via my debit card as had no cash but the extra goes to the management for breakages not the staff 😡 So if paying by card take a little cash for the excellent staff.

Fantastic evening full of delicious food and ambience. Only thing we felt that hampered our night was our table was right by the door and wall. My husband and i both crammed in and there wasnt much room to move as the whole floor was packed full of tables and people. We could not fault the food - it was superb as always, just a shame on the seating.

Lovely little restaurant. I believe we were served by the owner who obviously takes a massive pride in his business. We watched him patiently showing the young waitress how to set tables to an immaculate standard. The Menu was small and each dish executed perfectly. The mash was smoked bone marrow / butter infused, something I have never had before and was gorgeous. All of the courses were good. The drinks menu was right up our street with a large gin selection. We will return.
