Cloth Menu

Cloth is an intimate restaurant and wine bar at 44 Cloth Fair, close to Smithfield Market in the City of London. It occupies a period building beneath the former home of poet Sir John Betjeman, with low ceilings, wooden floors and antique details giving the room the warmth of a classic bistro.

Chef Tom Hurst leads a kitchen focused on restrained, ingredient led cooking. Seasonal British produce is given space to speak clearly, with ingredients such as Dorset crab and Somerset lamb illustrating the care taken over sourcing and the menu’s connection to regional food.

The à la carte selection is joined by a set lunch and menus designed for larger groups, while snacks remain available when the main kitchen closes between lunch and dinner. This flexible structure works for a focused meal, a plate at the counter or a longer gathering around several courses.

Wine is central to Cloth’s identity, reflecting the experience of founders Joe Haynes and Benedict Butterworth as wine merchants. The extensive list combines established regions with less familiar producers, making the restaurant as well suited to exploring a bottle as it is to enjoying the kitchen’s concise seasonal dishes.
