Butlers Wharf Chop House

Avoid at all costs !!

As a local resident we have tried to walk in for Sunday brunch on several occasions and been turned away, when half the tables are empty! They advertise brunch served until 12, however you will be lucky to be given a table after 11.30. Do yourself a favour and walk 100m further to All Bar One for a cheap and cheerful breakfast with the same view, or for an early lunch Cantina (same group as Chop House) where the staff are friendly and the food is better.

The arrogance of the management at Chop House is incredible in the current climate, hopefully this restaurant will go under and be replaced by something better!

Sadly, I don't think I can recommend this restaurant on. My son took me in March 2008 for Mother's Day and it was excellent so, thinking I'd like to treat my sister, brother-in-law and the rest of my family to a very nice lunch, I took them yesterday. I wish I'd saved my money. The restaurant lacked atmosphere, the staff were pleasant enough but nobody made you feel that little bit special. The starters were very average, small in portion and the tongue was tasteless. The main courses weren't bad, most of us had roast beef or pork, but you could get a roast dinner equally as good or even better in very many ordinary British pubs and pay a lot less. We had coffee but no puddings and we went on our way. Come to think of it nobody even said goodbye, thank you for coming or asked if we enjoyed ourselves. To sum up in two words – very disappointing. I won't be going back. Sue G, January 2008

Took 3 attempts to bring a medium rare steak.
Mushy peas are anything but mushy – dry and shrivelled up.
Bubble and Squeak portion was tiny.
Carrots and Mash was cold when served.
Terrible value at £50 per head even after our complaints!
