About

Each diner who visits The Clink Restaurant helps to simulate a true-to-life working environment that is essential for the rehabilitation of the prisoners.

Story

The Clink Restaurant provides a real working environment for women prisoners to learn and gain NVQs in food preparation and food service.

Offering a memorable dining experience, The Clink Restaurant also offers businesses and members of the public the chance to help The Clink Charity reduce reoffending rates by changing public perception and providing prisoners with true-to-life work experience of the hospitality industry.

30 prisoners work a 40 hour week either in the kitchen or restaurant before returning to their prison accommodation at the end of each working day.

As part of the training programme graduates receive dedicated support from a Clink mentor to secure full-time employment upon their release, to ease their reintegration back into society and help them to avoid reoffending.

Each diner who visits The Clink Restaurant is helping to simulate a true-to-life working environment that is essential for the continued development of the women in training.

The restaurant seats up to 100 people, with an additional private area for up to 20 people upstairs, a perfect place for meetings, events & private dining.
