The Clink Restaurant in Lambeth

This is one of the best things I’ve done in my life. The food was incredible, service was even better and it is so rewarding to know you are helping out a charity. Our server spoke to us in length about his journey, where he wants to go with his training from the Clink and it was nice to know they’re interested in our lives too. I wish I could pocket up the feeling I had when I walked out the clink and share it with everyone because it is honestly amazing.

Amazing food, great service, lovely atmosphere and such a unique experience!!! Highly recommended!!!

A fantastic experience with delicious food and great service. You would never have known they've only been reopen for one week. I would definitely recommend it, especially for the roast beef and homemade ginger beer. We'll definitely be back.

If it was open, excellent food, unfortunately due to Covid and being inside Brixton Prison, which has extra precautions in place, it isn't open.

We had a great time at this, arguably one of the most original dining experiences in London. Impressive that they can pull off a gourmet night in a prison at all, let alone do such a good job.We expected security to be challenging at entry, but this was fairly smoothly dealt with by experienced staff. Pockets are emptied into individual lockers, no phones, paper, or anything that could be passed on inside, then a frisk search, and through the courtyard into the diner.A curious, and not surprisingly, original atmosphere in the restaurant, in addition to the whole arrival experience, but everyone knows why they're there, and seem committed to doing a good job. Great food with enthusiastic, if not slightly self-conscious service.

Had such a good time! The staff were wonderful and really made the experience - we asked them lots of questions and they were so open and chatty (and really funny too). The food was delicious and I already want to go back to try more. Definitely a great place to dine. We went with a big group and everything ran so smoothly. 100% would recommend! Also really cute merchandise available for decent prices that go towards the charity - I got a bag for life!

We were working within the prison and decided to have lunch in The Clink. What a surprisingly pleasant experience. The inmates are very nice and attentive to you. Very well presented and service worthy of a 4 or 5 star restaurant. The food was amazing to be honest. We only had a Chicken Caesar Salad but it was delicious! The chicken was great, the cheese and bacon just perfect. The salad was lovely and fresh. Portion sizes where perfect. Certainly not small but not so big that it put you off. The venue itself once your inside certainly does not hint at its real location. Tiled walls, nice big tables, as you would expect in some top restaurants, the only hint of the its real location is plastic cutlery although it isn’t your usual plastic cutlery and is substantial enough for your to eat without concern of snapping it. Overall a very pleasant experience and certainly a place I would recommend.

Was not even aware that this existed until I came across it on Virgin experiences.A fantastic charity which is doing so much good to help people.The chef is very talented and the waiters did an amazing and professional job. Very friendly, warm and welcoming. We will definitely continue to support this great charity and I wish everyone who has had the opportunity to take part, the very best of luck. Keep up the good work!

It's an unusual experience but worth it.You wait around a lot to get in and you have to leave absolutely everything in a locker outside the prison. Including tissues!We had a three course Sunday lunch meal.The food quality was genuinely outstanding if a bit nouvelle cuisine for me. Also the starter and desert were very small.It's pricey (and no wine allowed) but the cause is so laudable (provide the inmates with real skills) that it is absolutely worth supporting this excellent restaurant.

Unbelievable good food inside the prison. Book in advance as it takes 3 emails, over a week, to get your booking confirmation.
