Mr Thomas's Chop House

Worth going for a 'one-off' to view the decor and get the 'feel' of this old town house pub. Attentive service, and varied trad style menu. Disappointed that the less expensive options on the wine list were all sold out by 7pm, so had little choice. Food was well presented and fair portions, but certainly not large. The price was a little over what I would expect to pay for similar elsewhere, so you are really paying more for eating at the venue itself. My usual pet-hate of tables being too close together was very much the case here... we had a couple either side of us who didn’t really compliment our time there. One was very loud and drunk ... the other insisted on commenting and tutting at the price of the wines with us and staring intently ( and very closely) at our food as it was served and we tried to eat in peace. Obviously this is not the fault of the restaurant, but it could have been avoided a little if the tables had more than just a few inches between us. Overall, worth going for a good quality (not great), traditional style meal in an unusual setting. By the way, ALWAYS BOOK - it is exceptionally busy and we had to wait twenty minutes for our pre-booked table to be available, so you would have very little chance if you just turn up.
