Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings is a restaurant, bar and events venue at 42 Northampton Road in Clerkenwell. Its interiors reinterpret a faded country house through soft furnishings, vintage details and abundant greenery, creating a relaxed setting close to Exmouth Market.
The Garden Room is the main restaurant space, combining hanging plants and mature trees with cane and wrought iron furniture. Dinner follows a British brasserie direction from Wednesday to Saturday, with bar snacks available for guests who want something smaller alongside a drink.
Weekend brunch runs on Saturday and Sunday, bringing dishes such as pancakes and eggs royale into the greenhouse and garden room. Private dining rooms, a cafe area and a studio kitchen give larger groups and celebrations several ways to use the building.
Cocktails are a particular strength, supported by wine and beer lists and a dedicated bar. Advance booking is useful for brunch, dinner and special events. Guests with allergies should request the current menu and discuss ingredients and shared preparation areas with the team before ordering.
