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 prisoners to learn and gain City & Guilds 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 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 cells 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 prisoners in training.

The restaurant is available for exclusive hire and there is an additional private area for up to 24 people, a perfect place for meetings, events & private dining.
