Clerkenwell & Social is a bar and restaurant at 2–5 St John’s Square in the heart of Clerkenwell. Its literary themed interior, terrace seating and sociable layout support everything from a quick lunch to cocktails and dinner with a larger group.
Stone baked pizzas form the centre of the food menu, ranging from a classic margherita to combinations using mushrooms, cured meats and nduja. The blistered base and generous toppings make pizza a substantial individual meal, while the format also lends itself naturally to sharing.
Small plates and sides allow guests to add variety before or alongside the pizzas. Vegetarian choices are integrated throughout the selection, so mixed groups can put together a table without relying on a single token alternative.
Cocktails are a major part of the venue’s identity, supported by wine, beer and alcohol free options. Clerkenwell & Social is best for diners looking for approachable Italian inspired food in an energetic central London room that becomes livelier as the evening develops.
Address: 2–5 St John’s Square, Clerkenwell, London EC1M 4DE, England
