Prison restaurant offers gourmet meals cooked by convicts
A restaurant will offer a captivating dining experience by offering gourmet food in prison cooked and served by inmates.
Diners must hand over valuables, undergo a body search and pass through several reinforced steel doors to before being seated at Britain's newest gastronomic venture.
The Clink, within the walls of High Down Prison, in Sutton, Surrey, will serve up to 80 four-course meals a day starting at £15 a head for visitors and staff as well as ordinary meals for inmates.
The concept was devised by Alberto Crisci, catering manager of the 747-inmate jail.
When The Clink opens early next year, inmates will cook and serve dishes such as pan-fried John Dory, paupiette of chicken with spinach mousseline, roast turbot with broad beans and pancetta, and lavender mascarpone with spun sugar.
Organic produce will be supplied by the prison's greenhouse and gardens.
Patrons will enter the prison gates for a strict search before proceeding through the jail to a lavish dining room sealed with a barred door.
Food for thought...
Serving time: Prisoners who make wine
"Portuguese inmates are being set to work in vineyards to make wine that has become a surprise hit with the public".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
