Last Sunday’s Archive Sale was slightly mad, in the best possible way.

By 10am there was a queue stretching down the front of Shoreditch Town Hall towards Great Eastern Street. Boxes of glassware disappeared almost instantly. People carrying stacks of plates to the till. More than a few magnums wrapped up and taken home too.

It was genuinely lovely seeing how many people wanted to take a small piece of The Clove Club home with them.

So thank you to everyone who came down and queued patiently. Lovely to meet new faces and see some old friends.

We’ll definitely do it again. Maybe Christmas.

It’s also made us realise something: we should probably make The Clove Club At Home a real thing soon.

Glassware. Bespoke crockery. Pantry bits from the kitchen. Elderflower vinegar. Hot sauce made from chillies grown on our farm. Dashi. Truffle purée.

More on that soon.

On Wednesday 3rd June, Julien Royer of Odette joins Isaac at The Clove Club for one evening only.

One of the most admired restaurants in the world - a three Michelin-starred fixture on The World’s 50 Best and Asia list, known for its modern French cooking.

The menu will bring together dishes from both restaurants alongside new collaborations created specially for the evening. Expect Odette’s signature Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon alongside a version of their iconic langoustine with vin jaune and katsuobushi sauce, reworked here with turbot and white asparagus, while The Clove Club will serve Cornish Crab Dumpling Hot & Sour Soup and Crisp Pork Jowl with Blood Sausage, White Kimchi & Japanese Quince.

Julien is currently on tour following the release of his debut book, Odette: Terroir to Table, Heart to Plate, and signed copies will be available on the night.

Tickets are now available via the link in bio.

Ten Vineyard Lunches.

On Wednesday 13th May, we’re joined by Luca Roagna.

The Roagna family have been making wine in Piedmont for five generations, working some of the most revered sites in Barbaresco and Barolo. Their approach is deeply traditional — old vines, native yeasts and long ageing — producing Nebbiolo of clarity, structure and quiet power.

Luca will present a selection of wines alongside a five-course menu from Isaac and the team.

An intimate dinner, with Luca speaking throughout the evening.

Easter Monday Lunch - 6th April.⁠

As always, we’ll be open for lunch on the bank holiday.⁠

We’ll be serving a three-course menu (£95), beginning with canapés, followed by dishes such as the first English asparagus with morels and hen’s egg, or crab dumplings in a hot and sour broth; and slow roast Cornish lamb with mint hot sauce and crisp potatoes, or monkfish with wild garlic and aged tangerine.⁠

Loquat, popcorn and amaranth to finish - with hot cross buns to take away.

Veal Sweetbread.

Inspired by the scallops we used to cook on liquorice at The Ledbury, 15 years ago, and by cooking sweetbreads on a bay leaf skewer for Mar Best at The 4 in Hand in Sydney 22 years ago, we decided to do Sweetbreads cooked on a liquorice skewer, with figs, cherry blossom vinegar, and a bay leaf, brown butter emulsion.

The Sweetbreads are roasted and brought to the guest on a little barbecue, with a wisp of smoke filling the air.

Our Head Somelier, Emer, recently spent 24 hours in Penedès with the Raventós and Can Sumoi family.

Here’s what she says about her trip:
“Meditating in the vines, getting caught in a massive lightning storm on the hills of Can Sumoi, enjoying an incredible evening eating blood sausage and pig’s head all cooked to perfection on the bbq from Francesc, while blind tasting Raventós classics against other iconic European wines straight from Pepe’s cellar - some highlights, to name only a few.”
“Experiencing Pepe and Francesc’s deep rooted connection with the land is something that will stick with me for a long time. Respect on every level, with incredibly expressive and detailed wines to match.”

Thank you for having us,

From our Summer Menu, still hanging in there as we keep getting beautiful green beans, spinach and broad beans from , .london and

Late Summer Greens.

This dish is all about the interplay between the luscious Jersey Royal potato sauce, the Sansho and the Caviar.

The main focus is broad beans, delicious and mild, then we have summer purslane, runner beans, bobby beans, different spinaches and mustard leaves, mange tout and more, with mint leaves torn throughout at the last moment. A little dust of sancho powder finishes the dish.

Potato and caviar sauce is poured at the table.

Beremeal, like Buckwheat, has a low gluten content, and it is hard to make noodles with it because they are fragile.

In this dish we imagine a Japanese chef, arriving in remote Birsay in Orkney, where Isaac was born, and finding mills who stone grind there, an ancient landrace version of barley, brought to Orkney by the Vikings in the late 8th century.

We take the beremeal and make a noodle inspired by soba.

Served with a broth made from Shiro miso and White langoustine stock, and the best bit of the langoustine- the claws.

Feather-cut squid, arroz brut, and mousserons.

Our squid is intricately sliced to mimic honeycomb tripe, blanched, iced, and finely cut to resemble delicate feathers.
It rests atop brown rice infused with coarse duck liver, mousserons, and black pepper paste.
The liver’s earthiness and the mousserons’ fruity juiciness create a perfectly balanced flavor.
A touch of crushed crystal malt grain adds a hint of bitterness, beautifully complementing the squid’s sweetness.
