About Clove Club
Clove Club runs its tasting menu out of what was once the rating hall of Shoreditch Town Hall — high ceilings, tall arched windows, a pass visible from most of the room. The kitchen works in a register that favours restraint over spectacle: a single langoustine dressed in little beyond its own head butter, a Anjou pigeon breast cooked over embers and rested longer than most kitchens would risk. Courses arrive with obvious technical control but rarely explain themselves; the menu card at the end of the meal reads plainer than the food tasted, which is the point.

The pigeon course alone justified the trip up from Bath — smoked over oak, pink to the bone, no sauce doing the work for it. Service knew the menu cold without reciting it.
Response from Clove Club
Thank you, Imogen — that pigeon is one we're proud to keep on through spring. Hope to have you back.

Room is stunning and the langoustine course was the best thing I ate in London this year, but the pacing between courses six and seven dragged on a Saturday sitting.

How far in advance should I book Clove Club?
Reservations open six weeks ahead and dinner slots on Friday and Saturday typically go within the first day. Weekday lunch and early-week dinners can usually be caught with two to three weeks' notice.
Is there a set menu only, or can guests order à la carte?
Dinner is tasting-menu only, ten courses with an optional wine pairing. Lunch, served Wednesday to Friday, runs a shorter seven-course version at a lower price.
