Brief business description

Hoxton Apprentice operates along the same lines as Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, with the restaurant training up twelve formerly homeless apprentices to work in the kitchen. The menu was devised by Pru Leith and the cuisine is of a good quality.

Different league to 15

They say that this place is 'like' Jamie Oliver's 15, on the grounds that it also employs unemployed youngsters and trains them in professional kitchens. But as far as I'm concerned, that's where the similarity ends. Unlike Jamie's place nearby, the Hoxton Apprentice is unpretentious (it doesn't charge �£26 a plate for food described variously as 'Pucka' and 'Wicked' on the menu, for example). The food varies each week, and can include anything from basic and retro, like chicken kiev and chips (very nice it was too) to a more inspired Osso Bucco for supper. The service can be a little patchy, but one suspects that might be because the waiting staff are not longstanding professionals any more than are the staff in the kitchen, but they're unfailingly friendly so you forgive them. Prices are competitive for the area and good for the quality of food received. All round worth a visit...
