Cambridge Chop House

Cambridge


The window seats here deliver some of the best views in town – onto King’s College’s hallowed walls. The food is pure English establishment too: hearty steaks and chops and chips, plus fish dishes and suet puddings. It's also open for breakfast (9-11.15am) and coffee and pastries (10-11.30am).

Sister restaurant St John's Chop House sits near the rear entrance to St John's College.
