Paternoster Chop House & Tavern interior

London’s home of hearty British dishes

The Paternoster Chop House and Tavern is a modern interpretation of the classic British dining experience, set in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral.

A round table set for four with plates of gourmet meat dishes, broccolini, potatoes, bread, drinks, and sauces on elegant blue and white crockery, viewed from above.

The Great British food revolution lives on at Paternoster.

We celebrate the best seasonal produce including signature chops and steaks from our ‘Ethical Butcher’ partner farms; the finest example of animal husbandry and regenerative farming practices in the UK.

The Paternoster Chop House and Tavern is a modern interpretation of Sir Terence Conran’s original dining vision and the spirit of St Paul’s; set near to the cathedral and at the heart of the City. Part of the Evolv Collection.

From Pasture to Plate

Regenerative Farming & Sustainable Steak

At Paternoster Chop House and Tavern, our partnership with The Ethical Butcher is about more than great tasting meat, it’s about doing things better. Our beef comes from British farms using regenerative practices, helping restore ecosystems, build soil health and promote biodiversity. Every steak served is carbon negative, removing more carbon from the atmosphere than it creates.

The result is healthier animals, richer flavour and meat proven to be higher in key nutrients, with full traceability and sustainability at the heart of every plate.

The Best of Paternoster

A Dickensian Christmas

Step into a true Victorian Christmas this season — all flickering candlelight, hearty feasts, and good cheer by the pint. Inspired by the timeless tales of Dickens, we’re bringing the spirit of the festive tavern back to life at Paternoster Chophouse & Tavern. 

Gather friends and colleagues for rich seasonal flavours, and winter-warming drinks that would make even Scrooge smile. 

Outdoor restaurant terrace with wooden tables and chairs, some covered with grey blankets. Large umbrellas provide shade, and plants decorate the space. The area is next to a modern building with large glass windows.

Winter Terrace

Join us on our winter terrace this season with festive seasonal drinks, and comforting Chop House classics.

New Years Eve

Ring in the New Year the proper way; with great food, good company, and glasses raised high.

Whether you’re joining us for a celebratory dinner, a few festive drinks, or a night that carries you right through to midnight, the Chophouse is the perfect place to toast the year gone by and welcome what’s next.

Enjoy £75pp menu including glass of fizz on arrival.
