Voted the ‘Best Restaurant in Yorkshire and the North East’ by the Hi-Life Dining Club, Sam’s Chop House serves British cuisine with a contemporary twist. Packed with original features, mouldings and panelling, this restaurant shouts quality as soon as you step through the door.

A British institution dating back as far as the 16th Century, chop houses were originally places where businessmen dined over plates of grilled meats, washed down with flagons of ale and fine wines. Visit today, however, and you’ll find a slightly more sophisticated menu. Our ancestors would surely be proud of starters such as homemade crispy corned beef hash cake, ten days in the making, and chicken stuffed with homemade black pudding. The main-course dishes echo the same flavours of old with Sam’s homemade steak and kidney pudding and a gourmet fish pie, while the more contemporary palate will love the likes of terrine of poached and smoked Scottish salmon. The menus change four times a year, so you can be sure whatever you choose will be nutritious and delicious.

Wine is a passion at Sam’s, which is probably why their wine list is packed with bottles of award-winning fine wines, and was named ‘Best Wine List’ at the Leeds Restaurant Awards. A chop house is more than just a restaurant, it’s a meeting place where friends and colleagues have been enjoying themselves for centuries – don’t miss out.
