South Place Chop House takes inspiration from London’s traditional chop houses – marrying good food with engaging service and a great atmosphere. The venue has been given a makeover, with stacks of classic copper pans, artwork by Thorbjørn Andersen and a choice of intimate banquette seating as well as larger, communal tables. The cooking – led by Head Chef Oliver Marlowe – is skilled and gutsy. A
refinement of the conventional 18th Century Chop House style, it’s perfect for contemporary tastes and sensibilities, food you return to: tasty, satisfying and wholesome. The uncomplicated, ever-changing menu is dedicated to seasonal and carefully sourced cuts of meat and freshly caught fish, modernised with continental flavours and seasoning. Dishes are designed to reflect nature’s best offerings as they hit their peak: foraged wild garlic, English strawberries or game from the Highlands. We’re social creatures, so sharing dishes are a key feature of the new menu, with a selection of seasonal specials, such as Black Angus chateaubriand, Jospered milk-fed lamb shoulder, baked wild bass or double-cut rare breed pork chop. All this delicious food will also be complemented by a selection of curated craft beers and a short, sharp list of wines. Meat is supplied by our favourite butcher, HG Walter, based in Barons Court the team has been sourcing and selling the best meat and game the UK has to offer for over 40 years. Seafood is sustainably sourced from around the British Isles: cod from Cornwall, scallops from Scotland and crawfish from the Scilly Isles. When the produce is this good we think it’s best to keep things simple, giving ingredients nothing more than a quick introduction to our Josper grill and letting flavour take centre stage. At the weekend, this ground floor space becomes a social spot for brunch. We’re renowned for our free-flowing Bellini brunches – with guests treated to laid-back live jazz every Sunday – loved by our hotel guests and visitors alike. South Place Chop House is open for breakfast from 6.30 - 11am daily. Lunch is served between noon - 3pm and dinner from 6 - 10.30pm, daily. The hotel’s famous bottomless Bellini brunch also will be held from noon -5pm every Saturday and Sunday.
