The Clerkenwell Kitchen London Reviews


Great space, shame about the.. - ...pouty Little Madame behind the till. I've been meaning to check out The Clerkenwell Kitchen for ages and finally made it this week - albeit just for a snack/ coffee. So picture this: airy, light, funky interior with fabulous courtyard/ atrium space shared with the studio/apartment spaces that make up the rest of the Clerkenwell Workshops. All beautifully kitted out, evidently frequented by those new media/ creative types whipping out the iBooks and "doing business" in chic freestyle. Menu looked gorgeous - as did the plates I spotted - and my muffin was good enough. The courtyard is especially lovely to those with "grow-your-own" inclinations - tomatoes and herbs jostle amongst the pretty summertime flowers and it's all very lush. So what could spoil such a haven? Snotty service, that's what. I have to hand it to the manager guy (I assume he was a manager - certainly senior to Little Madame) - he was apologetic for delays; re-made a tepid cappuccino without fuss; and when I returned a second time (next day - so taken with the setting was I) and experienced undue delay AGAIN he insisted the coffee be "on the house". But the experiences nevertheless remain marred by brattish/ insolent behaviour of other, perhaps "less experienced" staff. I don't expect a great deal - just general politeness, maybe a smile. LM needs a kick up the backside or a new job. So folks - by all means go for the lovely setting and the great-looking/ smelling food - NOT for the service. Unless you consider it entertainment, in which case...
