Internet: Clutch Smoked Meats & Burgers

Clutch is new but has a similar menu to the previous incarnation of this restaurant but now has lots of meat on the menu. Its long and on their website but contains chicken, beef, lamb, fish and veggie options in burgers, on skewers, in wraps and layered in pasta. They also have smoked meats. Starters are the usual hummus, falafel, chicken wings, halloumi and spicy potatoes. We ordered one starter to share – chicken wings and then two mains – beef brisket and Korean chicken each with a side of chips or cheesy chips.

As you can see the brisket was a large amount of meat with coleslaw and a variety of sauces. It was definitely enough without any starter and I didn’t manage to finish.

The Korean chicken was really delicious but we might have overdone the cheesy chips – eyes bigger than stomach sort of thing. The chicken wings were coated in a crumb and were not very nice to eat. We had hoped for some crispy skin but it was wet underneath the crumb so our advice is to swerve that one.

This is a fast food restaurant and they want to move people on quickly. We got the main before the starter so sent it back and asked for the starter to come first. We waited ages and finally the chicken wings turned up. So if you really want a starter make it clear that it needs to come first. Next time we will just order amins to share as it was certainly enough to eat.

We ordered a Fanta and a “best of passion” a lime, passion fruit and pineapple mocktail. Very nice and only £6.99. The bill came to £50.53 including 12.5% service (not optional). We will return but maybe get a takeaway if we are not wanting to eat at breakneck speed.
