The 50- cover restaurant will open in a former clothes shop unit at 21 Kingly Street, and will offer an all-day dining menu, focused on responsibly sourced, British produce.
The menu, created by Claw founder Fabian Clark and his head chef Josh Levy, is a “homage to the best of coastal Britain”. The majority of the menu items will feature seafood sourced from British shores, although there will be vegetarian options available.
Breakfast options comprise bacon and scallop muffin; herb and mustard potato hash; and chilli scrambled eggs with crab and samphire.
The lunch and dinner menus will offer dishes such as crab mac and cheese; pork stuffed squid with kaffir lime; duck nuggets; trout pok; and fried chicken with cods’ roe. A list of in-house cocktails, beers and soft drinks will also be available.
Claw’s founder, Fabian, believes that seafood does not have to be an “expensive luxury”. The business deals directly with fishermen which helps to keep costs relatively low.
Over the last two years Claw has traded at markets throughout London, and festivals across the UK, with pop-ups at various restaurants and bars. They can currently be found trading from a shipping container on Finsbury Avenue Square.
