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.

The George Public House is a Victorian reincarnation of a 15th century coffee house located at the meeting point of the Strand and Fleet Street, directly facing the spectacular architecture of the Royal Courts of Justice and a 10 minute walk from the West End. In the Autumn of 2014, The George underwent an extensive and considerate refurbishment of the ground floor bar and first floor dining room. This saw the creation of an elegant and sophisticated restaurant; The George. We have carefully retained the original features of this historic pub and have tastefully added our own stamp while keeping a traditional feel throughout.The restaurant upstairs at The George is open all week and offers an exciting, modern British menu, using only the finest seasonal, local produce, as well as fantastic roasts on Sundays.We are currently offering the same menu in both the pub and the restaurant.

    We had an amazing experience at Sticks’n’Sushi in Covent Garden while celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. The food was incredible—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Our waitress was fantastic; she was attentive, friendly, and made the evening feel extra special. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, perfect for a celebration. Highly recommend for great food and excellent service!

    An absolutely exceptional experience at the Savoy Grill by Gordon Ramsay. The £115 menu is a true tribute to gastronomy, featuring a haddock soufflé crafted true to Escoffier's recipe and a perfectly executed Beef Wellington. As French visitors (yes, we do love fine dining), we were blown away by the impeccable service, the warm and attentive staff, and the incredible privilege of a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchens – pure magic! The restaurant masterfully blends elegance, modernity, and a deep respect for culinary heritage. A truly unforgettable evening!

    Food was lovely and a great atmosphere in the restaurant, service to start was great but then we seemed to be lost a little and had to ask for our wine (which we already had some of) and waited a while for the bill The oddest thing was when we turned up we were told we were late but they could accommodate us, I pointed out we were time and I don’t even get a response? Didn’t set the evening off to a good start
