"Sunday lunch with my wife yesterday afternoon. A fantastic experience, 10/10... would highly recommend. The quality of the food was very good and the service from Jamie and Mo professional, polite and speedy. Very well organised from booking, arrival, ID checks, airport style security checks, head chef welcome, dining experience and departure. Thank you to everybody involved..."
"Excellent food and very good service. Well done to all the waiters who were pleasant and efficient - especially Jamie . Congratulations to the cooks as well!"
"Excellent food, all done by the trainee inmates Directions they provide could be better, once you arrived it was not clear where to go , you had to register for security checks half an hour before meal, before they showed you into restaurant. You must bring photo I'd, with you, and you have to go through a scanner, airport style. You cannot bring anything with you in the restaurant only a credit card and coat. You leave everything else in a locker outside the prison Unfortunately they got our table mixed up registered us as table 12 instead of table 9 so we had to wait sometime for our food, as waiters were not sure who it was for. Two courses for 30.00,and three courses for 35.00,no need to have side orders as main meal big enough, they also ask you if they can put 12 per cent on bill for service charge, which is a bit of a cheek, as I expect that does not go to prisoner's. Quite expensive restaurant but food very good"
"I went to the clink Today for a Christmas meal with my cousin. It was one of the best meals I have ever tasted. The food was like going to the ivy restaurant, I was so impressed. It was my first visit but definitely not my last! The front of house staff that served us was Shah and Cliff, they were both very professional and friendly, we engaged in lots of conversations with them both about their journey in the clink. Please pass on my compliments to them they should be very proud of their work and I wish them both every success for the future. Keep up the good work boys. Hope to see you again soon. I would highly recommend this restaurant, the attention to detail with the food is second to none. 5 star service all round!"
