In the heart of Smithfield, anticipation mounts as Green & Fortune readies Clerk’s House and Bartholomew’s for their unveiling at the new London Museum. With doors set to open on 28 November, these venues are poised to honour the city's market heritage and rich gastronomic traditions. Reservations are now available for those keen to sample what awaits.
At Clerk’s House, breakfast is both a nod to tradition and a fresh take on the familiar. The Billingsgate Bap, featuring scallops, bacon, and roe butter, pays homage to the historic fish markets. The Smithfield Chop, with Tamworth pork accompanied by cider-braised kraut, salutes the district’s storied meat trade. An assortment of seafood, from oysters to dressed Devon crab, complements the menu, which also includes Brick Lane Croquettes and a Spiced Fishmonger’s Stew. For dessert, classics like Treacle Tart and Bread and Butter pudding with boozy custard offer a nostalgic finale.
Bartholomew’s, just a short distance away, presents a spirited collection of drinks that encapsulate London’s diverse narratives. The Mirinda Daiquiri and Nine Elms Beetroot Margarita are just the beginning, each cocktail reflecting the city’s vibrant culinary tapestry. Daytime brings traditional fare such as sausage rolls and Scotch eggs. As evening falls, fried oysters with Morley’s inspired Bossman sauce and an array of playful bar snacks take the spotlight.
Adding to the ensemble, the revived Temperance Cocoa Rooms offer a non-alcoholic refuge, open from Thursday to Sunday. Looking ahead, The Roost is set to debut in early 2027, providing a platform for emerging chefs under the mentorship of John Nugent and Robin Gill.
John Nugent envisions these ventures as independent destinations, enriching Smithfield’s cultural panorama with menus distinctly rooted in London and imbued with a playful spirit. As the city’s culinary landscape evolves, these new establishments at the London Museum are poised to captivate and entertain.
Reservations are advised for those interested. Clerk’s House and Bartholomew’s open on 28 November 2026, with The Roost to follow. The London Museum’s London Tastes programme, co-curated by Ruby Tandoh and Jonathan Nunn, extends until August 2027, offering a thematic exploration of the city’s food culture through various events and exhibitions.
