Disappointing Christmas Dinner Experience at The Chophouse
We had high expectations for our Christmas Day dinner at The Chophouse, having enjoyed previous visits, but unfortunately, this experience fell short in almost every way. For £140 per head, we expected a festive meal that matched the high standards this restaurant usually delivers, but what we received was laughably underwhelming.
One member of our party ordered the Beef Wellington with truffle mash, which was the only highlight of the meal. The beef was nicely cooked, but unfortunately, the mash was cold, which dampened the experience.
Two of us had the turkey roulade, accompanied by a roast potato. The turkey arrived cold, with a portion size that was more suited to a tasting menu than a hearty Christmas dinner. The roast potato was a disaster—cold, undercooked, and nearly impossible to cut into. When we raised this issue, the staff brought a single replacement roast potato, which, to their credit, was perfectly cooked and hot, but it was far too little, far too late.
The overall presentation of the dishes was impressive, but the quantity of food and the lack of attention to temperature made the meal feel completely unsuitable for a festive celebration. Three Brussels sprouts and a single medallion of roast potato simply do not constitute a Christmas dinner.
While service was polite, the experience left us disappointed and regretting the decision to dine here on such a special occasion. This visit starkly contrasted with the high-quality meals we’ve enjoyed here in the past during regular operations.
Sadly, this Christmas dinner will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
