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.

Great food, attention from staff and was a little inconstant. Appreciated not being rushed but did have to signal several times to get attention. Already really nice venue atmosphere was good without impacting our ability to have a casual conversation. Will be back for sure.

Loved everything about the restaurant. Location, ambience, service, food and drink We has some oysters with champagne to start and then we all had the cod with chips and greens and a bottle of the chardonnay viognier blend. It was all delicious. Shame you are not open on Saturdays.
