D&D London's Chop Houses

D&D London has brought back British chop houses with their collection of restaurants, the original Paternoster Chop House,  famous for being the restaurant on channel 4's First Dates and sister restaurants, South Place Chop House and Butlers Wharf Chop House in Shad Thames.

The three Chop Houses are now working in collaboration with each other to become a more cohesive family of restaurants.

D&D London’s operations director, Michael Farquhar, commented: “From now on, D&D London’s three Chop House restaurants will collaborate more closely in showcasing the very best of British food, prepared using traditional cooking methods, with dishes ranging from simple chop house classics to more indulgent sharing dishes.”

When is Glorious Twelfth?

The Glorious Twelfth refers to August 12 – the first day of the shooting season in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Current legislation stated in the Game Act 1831 ensures the red grouse are left alone during summer months and only hunted during open season up which lasts up until the end of December.

Other game including woodcock and pheasant have different start dates to their open season with most beginning on September 1. Woodcock and pheasant start on October 1.
