Meatballs at Quality Chop House

When @georgedsinclair gets an idea into his head, he can be hard to persuade that it's a bad one. So from the moment two ladies stopped us on the corner of Exmouth Market, mentioning a new meatball restaurant, I knew we wouldn't be able to go elsewhere.

I like Exmouth Market. It's a nice area with some great restaurants and a nice vibe. It's also a shared space (road traffic and pedestrians the space). In effect it means that road traffic travels as slowly as pedestrians. It's also a relatively undiscovered bit of central London, not being particularly close to a tube line. (wiki link)

But I digress. We spent the weekend in the Holiday Inn on Kings Cross Road so it was just a stroll to Exmouth Market for tea on Saturday. And from the moment meatballs were mentioned I knew that would be where we were heading. 'I want meatballs', 'can we have meatballs?', 'Is this the meatballs restaurant?'....

I had mentioned to @shellsinclair the quality chop house on Farringdon Road but I couldn't see @georgedsinclair going for it. And I knew it was quite expensive. But we popped around the corner to look at the menu anyway, only to discover that the chop house was now the meatball restaurant (link).

So, bowing to the inevitable, we popped in. It was a good choice.

I had courgette meatballs in a curry sauce and @shellsinclair went for meatballs in a French Onion soup. Mr @georgedsinclair went for pork meatballs, partly because we thought these might be closest to the Ikea ones he loves (they weren't really). As sides we had some honey roasted carrots, Iceberg wedges with blue cheese and mash. It was all very very good, as well as being good value for money.

The place was child friendly and the staff had the good sense to ask if George wanted the sauce. He probably wouldn't have eaten them with if they hadn't.

For pudding I had a brownie ice cream sandwich. Again, very tasty. And george and I treated ourselves to milkshakes (strawberry and peanut butter respectively).

Meatballs at Quality Chop House is very good and I would certainly recommend. We went on the second day. The staff had too little to do which led to a slightly chaotic service. There was an eagerness to remove plates (done on two occasions before we had cleared them). They forgot the iceberg, and over the course we were served by pretty much every member of staff. But these issues will be sorted over time.

The meatballs were great. You must go.
