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.

    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.

    Dining at Kitchen India was an absolute delight from start to finish. To begin, I was served a plate of mini pappadoms accompanied by a variety of three flavorful dips. Each dip was unique and bursting with flavor, setting the tone for the meal ahead. For the appetizers, I ordered the Tandoori Chicken, and it was nothing short of perfection. The chicken was tender, juicy, and marinated to perfection with just the right balance of spices. Next, I tried the Chilli Chicken, which delivered an authentic and bold taste. It was a bit on the spicier side, making it an excellent choice for spice lovers. However, if you prefer milder flavors, you might want to skip this dish. But for those who enjoy a kick of spice, it's a must-try! Moving on to the main course, I ordered the Chicken Biryani, and it was phenomenal. The fragrant rice was infused with a medley of spices, and the chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. To complement the biryani, I tried the Cheese Garlic Naan, which was an absolute highlight. The naan was served both crispy and soft, as per my preference, showcasing their ability to customize dishes to the customer's liking. The exceptional customer service at Kitchen India enhanced the entire experience. The waitress were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, even recommending a dessert to complete my meal. Based on their suggestion, I tried the Kulfi, a traditional Indian dessert, and it was a perfect 10/10. Creamy, rich, and full of authentic flavors, it was the ideal way to end the meal. If you’re craving authentic Indian cuisine or looking to explore the vibrant flavors of India, I highly recommend visiting Kitchen India. From the warm hospitality to the delicious dishes, it’s a dining experience you won’t forget!
