The London Cocktail Club is now open

JJ & James open the London Cocktail Club

The London Cocktail Club has now opened at 61 Goodge Street, London W1T 1TL (Tel 020 7580 1960). JJ & James, winners of the BBC series The Restaurant in 2009, have spent the last year undertaking intensive training both at Le Manoir, at David Moore's restaurants Pied à Terre and L'Autre Pied, and at Sam & Eddie Hart's restaurants and tapas bars, Barrafina, Fino and Quo Vadis.

Raymond Blanc and his two co-investors - the Inspectors from the television series - David Moore and Sarah Willingham have all invested in the business, as have JJ & James themselves, and have been generously supported by Bacardi Brown Forman in the development, furnishing and fitting of the London Cocktail Club, with a contemporary design by DTwo.

Serving a range of classic cocktails and some very special House cocktails, including the Bacon & Egg Martini and the Squid Ink Sour, the cocktails are complemented by an exciting range of British 'tapas', developed by JJ & James in close consultation with Raymond Blanc and his development Chef, Adam Johnson.
