A wonderful place to go. Booking a table is a must because it is a little small and homely, but the food was wonderful. My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. The staff are very friendly and quite knowledgeable. We will come again. Thank you Chophouse for a great day.

Our first visit to this wonderful restaurant.

We started our meal with two large glasses of wine, followed by the roast beef Sunday roast with a side dish of cauliflower cheese. We then had a dessert each followed by two coffee’s to finish our meal.
The staff were all attentive and polite and we never felt rushed.
