What the guides say

“Thomas Studd and his wife Sarah established their Chop House in booming Cottonopolis in 1867, and it’s still going strong, serving up top-end pub grub in the famous tiled back room restaurant along with flagons and snifters in the bar and on the sunny St Ann’s Square terrace.”

Confidentials ↗

“It has an authentic turn-of-the-century atmosphere – fortunately it hasn’t been poshed up with white tablecloths or fancy props and the service is friendly and informal.”
