Celebrating 40 years of Clarke’s

17 December 1984 is a significant date in London’s gastronomic history

On that cold, wintry evening in Kensington Church Street, Sally Clarke and her newly formed team of cooks and waiters — not forgetting family and supporters — served their first meal.

17 December 1984

A set menu, carefully chosen from the seasonal ingredients available to them, for the no-fanfare occasion…

Salad of fennel, endive, satsumas, and Scottish smoked salmon
Char-grilled Welsh lamb marinated with lemon and thyme, game chips, and roasted vegetables
A beautiful cheese plate of Colston Bassett Stilton with Muscat grapes
~ and for dessert ~
Crème Brûlée with poached cranberries
To complete the meal, delicious freshly-roasted coffee served from the cafetiere
