"The Zetter Hotel Clerkenwell review, by Flavour Venue Search The Flavour Venue Search summer research trip gave us an opportunity to check out some great new venues and revisit some old favourites. We made time for a stay at the beautiful Zetter Hotel Clerkenwell. In addition to housing stylish bedrooms and unique event spaces, this boutique hotel also has a special place in our hearts because we spent our wedding night at The Zetter a decade ago. We’re pleased to report the venue is just as magical as we remembered, possibly even more so. The Zetter Hotel Clerkenwell is found just a short walk from Farringdon station, offering excellent access to all of London and further afield via train, underground and the super-fast Elizabeth line. This charming neighbourhood is a design haven, and home to many great restaurants and bars. The Zetter Hotel, and the adjacent Zetter Townhouse contain 72 ultra-stylish and well-equipped bedrooms collectively. We were fortunate enough to stay in a magnificent Rooftop Suite, which was a real treat. In addition to tasteful styling, a gigantic comfortable bed, and modern appliances, we had our own outdoor roof terrace complete with a bathtub! All rooms feature workstations, REN products and Hypnos mattresses. Whether you’re a business traveller, shopper or sightseer, The Zetter Hotel Clerkenwell offers all you’ll need for a delightful stay. We’ve placed plenty of events at the Zetter Townhouse, which is only a few seconds walk from the main hotel. This Georgian townhouse contains a selection of uniquely quirky and intricately decorated spaces, which offer the pleasing aesthetics and versatility needed for a variety of memorable events. Wilhelmina’s lounge is a sumptuously decorated space in which to sip award winning cocktails. Guests can enjoy some of London’s finest private dining in the intimately opulent Dining Room. The larger Games Room lends itself to bigger events, and all spaces can be hired collectively for meetings, conferencing, and lavish celebrations. Best of all, the venue is licensed for civil ceremonies, so couples and their guests can experience a magically special wedding day under one roof. Getting to revisit the Zetter Hotel and Townhouse reminded us of the charm, elegance, and beauty of these unique venues. All staff were friendly and helpful, food and drinks were of a high quality, and the bedrooms and event spaces were stylish, striking, and spectacular. We’re proud to include these excellent venues as part of the Flavour Venue Search portfolio. If you’re interested in group bookings, meetings, weddings, private dining, and corporate events at the Zetter venues, please get in touch."

"Having successfully deposited our eldest in her new Uni digs and having enjoyed an evenings kip in an adjoining Manchester hotel we were in two minds where to breakfast. MrsC’s growing angst over the likely state of our home after allowing our youngest free rein for a garden party proved persuasive so we decided on an early exit an victuals en route. A scan of Happy Cow and Google combined allied to our southbound travel threw up Wild and Wild as a convenient stop off before we rejoined the M6. Pleased to see that it opened at 10;00am on a Sunday whilst registering our likely arrival at 10:15 we added the required SatNav waypoint and trained our behemoth on its new path. There was convenient free parking on the Sunday and we ambled on the pedestrianised section to Wild and Wild; sitting slightly incongruously next to a Costa. The place is light and well laid out and an enticing array of cakes and pastries greets you as you enter. The usual instructive board informed us “to please wait to be seated” which we did. The young lady who appeared to be both front of house, barista and server said she would be with us after serving her present customer; which was fine but, in truth, simply having the menus on the tables and allowing you to sit yourself at empty unreserved tables would seemed to have been the least intrusive and effective means of managing the flow? Anyway we were handed drinks/food menus and then informed that we could, in effect, do exactly that and seat ourselves. The breakfast/brunch menu was concise but convincing and for speed and efficiency MrsC and I settled on two “full English”, vegan of course, and two oat milk lattes. Queued again and gave the order and paid there and then. Though we haven’t been out too much recently the coffee prices seemed about right but the breakfast seemed a tad high. Understanding how inflation is hitting that might just be an impression but if we had stayed in Manchester and returned to the Lounge a similar menu would have been 30% less. Then it started going awry. The wait for the coffee seemed long; the wait for the food almost interminable (around 40-45 mins in truth) Halfway through that wait another server had magicked into operation and it switched from queuing to order to table service. She was professional enough to highlight to new incoming customers that drinks would be about 10 mins/food 30. Something not considered worthy of note to us earlier arrivals. The breakfast was ok. The vegan sausages appeared homemade with rice wrapper “skins” but they were woefully dry and overcooked. The whole vine of oven roasted cherry tomatoes were good as was the star of the show the Smokey “baked beans”. The toast was good quality bread but cut too thin to successfully soak up both beans and the sweet tomatoes. The other components of mixed greens and mushrooms and tofu scramble were under seasoned and a little bland. The potato rosti was a little dense but ok. Sadly the food was underwhelming and more so due to the long wait; ill fitting the vibe and the surroundings especially as the place wasn’t heaving at any time. Always feel awkward knocking eateries in these uncertain times but, in this case, expectations raised by the feel of the place allied to the prices charged, we’re not met by the quality of the food. Perhaps it’s better suited to an afternoon cake and a drink session? Disappointed."
