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.
