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 Hostess (born in Hungary but has lived for 20+ years in Britain) set the tone for a wonderful evening. She knew we would like to have a round table (that was reserved), but noted that we were next to loud people. She went out of her way to show us two other table options. Loved her attention to customer experience. The food was great - especially the Baked Field Mushrooms and Grilled Goat’s Cheese salad. Artichoke dip got mixed feedback from my guests. Ribeye was also slightly fatty but well-seasoned so my guest was happy. For a table of four two courses with wine and coffees came to around 60 per head. Great service and location makes this a go-to choice for informal dining near London Bridge

Everything was absolutely amazing, the food, the teas, the view, the people working there. However we did not expect the 15% service charge to be added to the price. But be had a wonderful time and do not regret at all to have chosen the Shangri-La for our tea time in London.
