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.

    OMG - this was my first visit back for over a year, what an absolute pleasure. Not only did Raj and his fantastic team greet me by name but they even remembered my favouite dish !! This was an important night as one of my oldest school friends had a very serious brain bleed just before Christmas and this was part of his rehabilitation. It couldn't have been better, the food as usual was outstanding, the service exemplary and the greeting and attention warm and genuine. Suffice it to say Raj has gained another fan as my mate was so impressed he will be visiting with his family next time he visits London. If you haven't discovered this gem then you are truely missing out - one bit of advice be sure to book as the chances of an empty table are slim to none - that's how good Indian Gourmet is. Hope to see you a bit sooner than a year next time !!

    Table service a bit off: bread appetiser did not arrive, the starters did! Had to ask for the bread. Had to ask for the glasses of white wine which were ordered at the time of the food and were meant to arrive when the aperitifs were finished. Asked for one dessert and two forks: two desserts arrived. Saving grace was the food-delicious
