Crispin Is Going South of the River and Opening in Clapham

Crispin at Studio Voltaire will be the fourth restaurant in the group founded by Dom Hamdy

Not-for-profit arts organisation Studio Voltaire in Clapham had been playing host to Juliets Cafe (from the team behind Juliets Quality Food in Tooting) but now it’s all change on the food front as Crispin is moving into the space this spring. Like Crispin, Bar Crispin and Bistro Freddie, Crispin at Studio Voltaire will focus on produce from the British Isles and small and independent growers.

Michael Miles (ex-Counter 71 and Manteca) will be overseeing the food menu, creating modern takes on British and European classics, fresh pasta, charcoal-grilled meat and fish, and comforting puds. Alexandra Price, who curates the wine list at the group’s three other sites, will be doing the same in Clapham with a selection of accessible and sustainable wines on tap and a bottle list that focuses on artisanal winemakers.

The design will play off the fact that the 50-cover restaurant is housed inside a gallery, taking inspiration from 90s Terence Conran venues like Blueprint Cafe (also located inside a gallery) and featuring bespoke commissions by artists Miranda Keyes and Barnaby Lewis.
