A very special and memorable dining experience. We sat at the counter for an early Saturday night meal because the tables were all fully booked. But what a lovely experience that was! The food was spectacular and I cannot recommend it enough.
We ate two delicious starters - a pumpkin & blue cheese salad and the steak tartare. For our main, we had pork and venison - both fantastically cooked and seasoned.
But the evening was made even more special by watching (and chatting to) the Head Chef and his team do their magic during service as they prepared ours and everyone else's beautiful meals. It was fascinating!
We will definitely be returning for a proper treat :-) Thank you to the whole team at Hatched for the experience.
Beautiful food, nicely presented. It wasn't explained to us that these are sharing plates (these were placed in the middle with a clean plate per head to serve onto) - so if going in a group, try to all get different dishes.
I was actually sick a few hours after this meal but I'm not sure if it was the food as no one else who I ate with got sick?! But hence, drops 1 star.
Lovely dinner. The food was delicious; definitely on the pricey side but totally worth it. Staff were friendly and the service was quick and on point. Great selection of wine. I highly recommend it!
Lovely little gem. We were at the counter and got to see all the cooking up close. A very small team puts together very tasty dishes, a shame we didn’t get to try them all, we will be back to work our way through the menu. The wine was delicious too!
Great food and atmosphere from this small but friendly restaurant. Great chefs and outstanding food. Definitely recommended.
Amazing place. Sit at the counter and watch Gaz and crew unfold the food stories in front of you. Food is delicious and abundant in equal measures. Absolute gem of a restaurant. This is more than food. This about enjoying watching and hearing about food being prepared for a feast.

Spectacular dining experience. Love how great they treat the ingredients as much as how friendly they treat the customers.
An easy dining experience with exceptional food!
This restaurant is a must if you want exceptional food and a laid back atmosphere. The chef is lovely, talented and attentive staff. Will be back again and again and I'm sure. All staff exceptionally welcome children. thank you!
Had the rosemary bread, pork belly and sirloin which were really tasty. The orange butter that accompanied the bread and chimichurri that topped the steak were the stars! We also had the new potatoes that were tasty but not amazing texture wise and the passion fruit crème brûlée which wasn’t set and served warm - not sure if that was the intention but wasn’t what I expected, given the £12 price tag I did have higher expectations for that dish.
Service was really good and setting was different with cutlery being in the drawers. Overall a great dining experience.

Shane Marshall is an outstanding chef. Hatched has been a neighbourhood treat for about 4 years. Always delivering gorgeous plates, olive oil/lemon charred broccoli, lobster ravioli, sea bass ceviche, Josper Prime rib, Pain Perdu. Sunday roasts are the best in London, every one says that but nothing here is en masse, the quality is next level, attention and standards, you really get proper quality. Sat at the bar last night, Shane is short staffed, he’s entertaining us, cooking, serving and handling our wine pairings plus the walk ins. Staffing as a result of CV19/Brexit - impossible. They had one lovely young man just starting out who was brilliant, a cool chef friend stepped in and his stalwart ‘big guy’ in the back. In a sea of over priced mediocrity this is the best place in clapham to eat and drink. You won’t find the wines here in many places. Hand picked. Spices all blended. No purées. No short cuts. Lucky having HATCHED on my doorstep. Support your local and book here. BLOODY FANTASTIC!
Smart and well considered seasonal food, relaxed atmosphere in a tasteful restaurant.
Value for money for the exceptional food.
You can take a seat at the counter and chat to the brilliant chef's and watch them work their magic.
Best restaurant in Clapham Junction! The food, service and atmosphere are world class… just waiting for them to get a Michelin star. The food is fantastic every time and absolutely wows the taste buds. The beef cheek arancini has a certain nostalgia about it that takes you right back to a hearty meal made by your grandma but all in one bite, the rosemary bread is also good to start with and the tartare and steak don’t disappoint. The broccoli with that smoked oil is really something different and packs so much flavour and highlights the innovativeness of this restaurant. The team here are also so open and happy to share info with you - they even showed us one time how they make the smoked oil. If you are ever around Clapham Junction or looking for a restaurant around there, you will not be disappointed with anything I can promise you that - cannot recommend enough.
The food was delicious and the service was super friendly :) My favourite was probably the ceviche and the steak, highly recommended!
Delicious food, friendly service, good selection of wine.
Hands down the best dining experience around Wandsworth common area. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is on par: fun and vibrant. We highly recommend
Local gem of a restaurant. We've always been very impressed by the quality of the dishes. We recently went to celebrate a special occasion and the service was great and our friends and family are still commenting on the food.
One of the best restaurants in London. Excellent food, great service and friendly atmosphere. Try the pork belly, it will blow your mind!
This could(should be) be a Michelin star restaurant. The food is cooked to order. The two chefs are real craftsmen. Best restaurant in CLJ.
