Having spent years supplying London’s top restaurants through their separate wine businesses, Joe Haynes and Benedict Butterworth have joined forces with Tom Hurst, who has worked at Brawn, The Marksman, Levan, and most recently as Head Chef at Lasdun, to launch the trio’s first restaurant together.Located in a Grade II listed building on Cloth Fair, Cloth Restaurant is part of a historic row of buildings in the City of London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Down this atmospheric alley opposite St Bartholomew church, Cloth is taking over a double fronted corner site that’s beneath the former home of poet John Betjeman and next door to the two oldest residential buildings in London. Inside, low ceilings, wood floorboards with antique wall lights and artwork create a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while marble tables, long dark wood banquettes, antique crockery and cutlery will create the feel of a classic bistro.

    I've had the pleasure of dining at Cloth Restaurant a couple of times before, always enjoying the experience. However, our recent team lunch marked my first time bringing the entire group, and I'm thrilled to say it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were looking for a place that could accommodate a team while offering delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere, and Cloth absolutely delivered. The standout dish for many of us was the gazpacho soup. It was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavour – a perfect light and refreshing start to our meal, especially welcome. It's clear a lot of care goes into their preparation. Beyond the exquisite food, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly efficient. They handled our team's orders and requests seamlessly, ensuring everyone felt well looked after. It made the entire lunch experience feel effortless and highly enjoyable. The atmosphere of Cloth Restaurant was also lovely, providing a comfortable and inviting setting for our team to relax and connect. We left feeling thoroughly satisfied and impressed. Cloth Restaurant is definitely a gem in London, and we highly recommend it for any team lunch or a delightful meal out. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

    One of us has severe allergies but Côte brilliantly shows allergenic information by providing a full table on an IPad so that we could have very informed decisions.

    El Vino Fleet Street is an institution, having been there forever. When we visited for a 19:30 midweek dinner in February, the welcome was warm and friendly. The service was rather variable and, after placing our orders, we were told that several items were not available. Disappointingly, after the main course, we were told that it was too late to order dessert as they would be closing shortly. However, the food was well prepared and reasonably priced and the wine was excellent.
