The Clink Restaurant Brixton

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Clink Restaurant in HMP Brixton, and it was an unforgettable experience, especially with their festive Christmas menu. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, a refreshing contrast to the prison setting. The restaurant is well-designed, offering a comfortable dining experience. One aspect that surprised me was how many guests seemed unaware of the prison's guidelines. It's crucial to read the restrictions, as certain items are not allowed on the premises it will be emailed to you once your submission has been accepted. Additionally, be sure to arrive 30 minutes before your booking time, as this is necessary for the search and security protocols. The highlight of our visit was the impeccable service from Mohamed. His professionalism and attentiveness made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations on the Christmas specials that truly enhanced our dining experience. Now, about the food! The Christmas menu featured a delightful selection of seasonal dishes, all beautifully presented and full of flavor. It was clear that the kitchen team takes great pride in their work, and we appreciated the chance to enjoy such a festive meal in this extraordinary setting. Overall, our visit to the Clink Restaurant was not only a unique dining experience but also an opportunity to support an initiative that provides training and rehabilitation for inmates. We left feeling satisfied by both the excellent food and the meaningful impact of our visit. I highly recommend dining at the Clink Restaurant, especially during the holiday season. Thank you, Mohamed, and the entire team for an exceptional evening!

Fabulous 3 course meal which would challenge any 5 star restaurant. Excellent choice of food superbly presented and waiter service very attentive. Love the ethos of this place within Brixton Prison and would definitely return.

This was our highlight of the trip to the UK. The food here is epic, with a wonderful message and staff. We were walked through the whole process including where our belongings would be stored, and went through a very simple security screening. This was a five course meal, with an amuse bouche, and shared dessert. If I could make one critique, it would be that the desserts (although absolutely diving) were much larger portions than the entrees. Perhaps this was just the items we ordered.

Brilliant experience - would highly recommend. Yesterday four of us had the most delicious lunch here, served by lovely Jack. As a vegan I was apprehensive as there's only one option for each course but that option was excellent! The rest of my party also thoroughly enjoyed their food. This whole concept is a great one and I particularly loved the phone free aspect as we had to give our mobiles in for obvious security reasons and that meant we could fully focus on communicating with each other. I think it would have been great to make the most of the time with us waiting to enter by giving us info on the charity. We learned so many interesting things about the charity including how they are funded, who they take on etc but we had to ask rather than it being part of the experience, which is a shame I think. Not allowed phones so cant share pictures.

This was such an experience - we weren't sure entirely what to expect as there are certain very strict rules you must adhere to but from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Really impressive and helpful service and truly delicious food. So many meals out fall into an empty space in my memory but this one will stay forever. This is a brilliant charity doing fabulous work supporting and training those who need a secure pathway forward to a fulfilling and productive life and I'm glad we were able to participate. An evening we won't forget. Thank you all so much.

A special meal for my birthday and it was fantastic, Tim our waiter was just brilliant. Was filling our water glasses before we even noticed, recommended drinks based on our likes. He was superb with my partner who had multiple allergies to egg milk and nuts. When a course accidentally came out with a sauce which he thought could have milk it in, he quickly made a replacement himself so we could eat together. He sadly had to go quickly at the end, so didn’t have time to thank him properly for how brilliant he was. He was credit to the Clink and HMP Brixton. Will come back for afternoon tea and hope that lovely Tim or his colleagues are working. And hope that I’m served by Tim again in the future!

Fab experience - lovely food and our waiter Ben was super attentive and friendly. The other waiting staff were also very polite and pleasant. Everything we had was delicious. Would highly recommend!

Exceptional Sunday Roast in comfortable restaurant. Our waiter, Ben was new to the job, he was welcoming and polite. An excellent charity. Good Luck Ben
