The Clink: The posh restaurant inside a prison at the UK Metro takes us along a visit to a swank new restaurant inside a Surrey, England prison. Interesting, since The Clink has a long history.
From the 12th century until 1780, The Clink was Britain’s most notorious prison, detaining heretics and priests, debtors and rebel rousers. With the clink of a lock, inmates were condemned to a diet of bread and water. Things change. On May 11th 2009, The Clink re-opened at Her Majesty’s Prison High Down, Sutton, Surrey. This time, however, it is a restaurant serving gourmet and wholesome food to prison staff, visitors and the public.
Don’t mind the handy panic alarms and the plastic dinnerware. The food and service are making the raves.
…dishes include breast of chicken with pepperonata served with radicchio risotto and grilled plaice fillets, with spinach, broccoli and potato Salad…
Interested parties must get security clearance before obtaining reservations.
