One of the most interesting dining experiences I have ever had. The extensive searching on the way in sets the tone and being taken through numerous locked gates. But the Roast lunch was really good, albeit the cutlery was plastic for safety reasons but the service was great. There is a specific time you leave so if you finish your meal early you just have to wait to be let out. All in all, worth a visit for the experience and the Roast!

A special meal for my birthday and it was fantastic, Tim our waiter was just brilliant. Was filling our water glasses before we even noticed, recommended drinks based on our likes. He was superb with my partner who had multiple allergies to egg milk and nuts. When a course accidentally came out with a sauce which he thought could have milk it in, he quickly made a replacement himself so we could eat together. He sadly had to go quickly at the end, so didn’t have time to thank him properly for how brilliant he was. He was credit to the Clink and HMP Brixton. Will come back for afternoon tea and hope that lovely Tim or his colleagues are working. And hope that I’m served by Tim again in the future!

What a fabulous experience! This culinary experience is a program for those chosen from the Brixton prison to participate in growing, cooking, and serving food to paying customers in order to provide a skill to utilize after their sentence is over. Reservations need to be 7 days in advance and require several security questions and a £15pp deposit. Several dining options are available. Lunch, afternoon tea, and Thursday night gourmet 3-course dinner, we chose the last option. You need to put belongings into a locker as no phones or personal items except for a credit card to pay are allowed. The photos included, except the one of me in my prison issued boots, were pulled off the internet. I made the mistake of wearing open toe sandals, which were not permitted, so I was issued standard prison issued boots to wear. You will go through a metal detector and pat down to enter. Once inside, it looks like any other restaurant. The food was very good. The appetizer was a king crab on a crumpets. The main dish was a paparadrlle of pork and mushrooms in brown gravy. Dessert was an English strawberry tart. Coffee and soft drinks are available at an additional cost. The cost per person was £47, but your £15 deposit is subtracted. Brixton is a men's prison, so all the culinary students are men. They were kind, funny, and happy to chat and seemed like servers from any restaurant. This was a great experience, and they have a few items for sale that help the clink charity. I bought the cook books and a bag. Pictures are included.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Clink Restaurant in HMP Brixton, and it was an unforgettable experience, especially with their festive Christmas menu. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, a refreshing contrast to the prison setting. The restaurant is well-designed, offering a comfortable dining experience. One aspect that surprised me was how many guests seemed unaware of the prison's guidelines. It's crucial to read the restrictions, as certain items are not allowed on the premises it will be emailed to you once your submission has been accepted. Additionally, be sure to arrive 30 minutes before your booking time, as this is necessary for the search and security protocols. The highlight of our visit was the impeccable service from Mohamed. His professionalism and attentiveness made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations on the Christmas specials that truly enhanced our dining experience. Now, about the food! The Christmas menu featured a delightful selection of seasonal dishes, all beautifully presented and full of flavor. It was clear that the kitchen team takes great pride in their work, and we appreciated the chance to enjoy such a festive meal in this extraordinary setting. Overall, our visit to the Clink Restaurant was not only a unique dining experience but also an opportunity to support an initiative that provides training and rehabilitation for inmates. We left feeling satisfied by both the excellent food and the meaningful impact of our visit. I highly recommend dining at the Clink Restaurant, especially during the holiday season. Thank you, Mohamed, and the entire team for an exceptional evening!

Unbelievable food at unbelievable prices. Such amazing quality (high end restaurant level) at casual dining prices. Dining room is lovely in a very different setting (HMP Brixton), and only on a Thursday. However, one of my best dining experiences. A high recommend
