Ben's Canteen

About Ben's Canteen

Ben’s Canteen on London’s St Johns Hill is built around the concept of neighbourhood communities, fully intending to be the restaurant and café at the very heart of this particular Clapham enclave. Embracing the canteen idea only in its unpretentious simplicity, Ben’s Canteen is in fact cosy and warm, the reclamation chic of the interior giving the room character and a splash of continental style romance, with seating spilling out on to the pavement through the open frontage during warmer months. The focus here at Ben’s Canteen however is very much on food, the chalkboard menus showcasing brilliant produce from the best of small scale suppliers, talented artisans and local producers in deli style dishes served from morning until late at night. Not only will Ben’s Canteen share the flavour of these ‘hero suppliers’, but their stories too, providing guests with plenty of provenance and, in turn, that much strived for sense of community. From a quick coffee solo to a languid dinner and drinks with a loved one, Ben’s Canteen has the ambience and offerings to suit.
