The Well
180 St John Street, Clerkenwell, London, EC1V 4JY
The Well, which has now been open for over five years, is a gastro-pub combining a popular bar area with a separate dining space. The menu changes on a monthly basis to encourage return visits but includes the likes of seared chicken livers with pancetta and balsamic dressing or pepper crusted tuna with sun dried tomato and aubergine compote to commence your meal with. This might be followed by roast guinea fowl with a lemon and herb risotto and a chorizo and tomato sauce; seared monkfish with red curry sauce and basmati rice or braised lamb shank with potato gnocchi, that can be accompanied by a selection of side orders such as rocket and gorgonzola salad or parsley and garlic mash. They offer a large range of non-mainstream draught lagers and a very well chosen and extensive wine list.The Well, which has now been open for over five years, is a gastro-pub combining a popular bar area with a separate dining space.

They offer a large range of non-mainstream draught lagers and a very well chosen and extensive wine list. They are justly famed for their brunch menu, which is available on Saturday and Sunday from 10.30 am to 3 pm.
As it is a bit of a speciality, their brunch is rather different from the average and offers a wide range of goodies, from a range of freshly squeezed juice like orange, carrot and the unusual mix of Mint, apple, pineapple and cinnamon; cocktails from eleven o'clock onwards; smoothies and delicious dishes like pan fried goat's cheese with grilled Mediterranean vegetables or 'Pint o' prawns' with mayonnaise.
The Downstairs room is available for private hire for parties of up to 70 people, it has a private cocktail bar where they can serve a full range of bottled beers, wines and spirits.
They can also provide canapes (just ask them to send you a menu). They have vinyl decks and can advise on DJs or you can bring your own. There is a charge for the hire of the decks.
