About Paternoster Chop House & Tavern

Opened in 2004 beside St Paul’s Cathedral, Paternoster Chop House and Tavern quickly became a City dining landmark, and is proudly part of The Evolv Collection today.

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 & 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? Healthier animals, richer flavour, and meat proven to be higher in key nutrients – with full traceability and sustainability at the heart of every plate.

An Address with History

Paternoster Square

Once the centre of London’s publishing trade, the streets around St Paul’s were lined with printers and booksellers, giving the area its name from the monks who recited the “Pater Noster” prayer nearby. Much of it was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, before being rebuilt into the modern square that now stands at the heart of the City.

Today, Paternoster Chop House and Tavern continues that story. Just steps from St Paul’s Cathedral, we serve British steaks and seasonal dishes that reflect the area’s rich heritage while welcoming a new generation of London diners.
