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.

Determined to make exceptional reds and whites in a region renowned for its rosés, we spent years lovingly restoring the chateau and estate, rebuilding the winemaking cave with state-of-the-art equipment and re-planting and tending to the vines. It wasn’t long before our organic wines began winning international awards – a testament to quality winemaking in Provence.

Absolutely delightful and totally delicious food. Each dish was superb. We were a group of three and shared pickles, artichoke with ricotta, and burrata with raisins . Yummy. The mains we had were ravioli filled with pheasant, mushrooms and Marsala. Divine. I’d go back just for that. We shared a rhubarb trifle with honeycomb for dessert. Again, delicious. The service was calm and friendly. Unobtrusive. There was very low music playing so we could hear each other and chat for hours. The interior design was very English, reminding us of Andrew Edmund’s in town. We loved it. A bit pricey but I did not mind for this special occasion as it was all pretty wonderful.
