Hatched

A very special and memorable dining experience. We sat at the counter for an early Saturday night meal because the tables were all fully booked. But what a lovely experience that was! The food was spectacular and I cannot recommend it enough. We ate two delicious starters - a pumpkin & blue cheese salad and the steak tartare. For our main, we had pork and venison - both fantastically cooked and seasoned. But the evening was made even more special by watching (and chatting to) the Head Chef and his team do their magic during service as they prepared ours and everyone else's beautiful meals. It was fascinating! We will definitely be returning for a proper treat :-) Thank you to the whole team at Hatched for the experience.

Best restaurant in Clapham Junction! The food, service and atmosphere are world class… just waiting for them to get a Michelin star. The food is fantastic every time and absolutely wows the taste buds. The beef cheek arancini has a certain nostalgia about it that takes you right back to a hearty meal made by your grandma but all in one bite, the rosemary bread is also good to start with and the tartare and steak don’t disappoint. The broccoli with that smoked oil is really something different and packs so much flavour and highlights the innovativeness of this restaurant. The team here are also so open and happy to share info with you - they even showed us one time how they make the smoked oil. If you are ever around Clapham Junction or looking for a restaurant around there, you will not be disappointed with anything I can promise you that - cannot recommend enough.

Had the rosemary bread, pork belly and sirloin which were really tasty. The orange butter that accompanied the bread and chimichurri that topped the steak were the stars! We also had the new potatoes that were tasty but not amazing texture wise and the passion fruit crème brûlée which wasn’t set and served warm - not sure if that was the intention but wasn’t what I expected, given the £12 price tag I did have higher expectations for that dish. Service was really good and setting was different with cutlery being in the drawers. Overall a great dining experience.
