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.
Closest tube stations: Farringdon, Barbican. <br />Cloth Fair is a short residential street to the east of Smithfield Meat Market in the north-western part of the city and is located in the ward of Farringdon.
Wonderful food and service in a lovely cozy restaurant. I had the chestnut and mushroom risotto which was delicious and the chocolate mousse was fantastic! Definitely visit again…soon
