Clockjack, the rotisserie and grill restaurant, has recently opened its new 1,500 sq ft restaurant at 79 Powis Street in Woolwich Town Centre, part of the Woolwich Arsenal Estate.
The 75-cover restaurant was designed by 44th Hill and features a casual, urban feel that uses natural materials such as oak, brick and metals. The menu boasts Clockjack’s signature, herb-marinated, free-range chicken from the unique vertical rotisserie, plus other innovative dishes from the parrilla grill such as a white pudding burger with molasses sauce. Salad options include Clockjack’s Super Caesar Salad and to finish there is Scrambled Strawberry Cheesecake and a dark chocolate pretzel cake.
The restaurant also features an extensive drinks offer including unique Clockjack’s ‘clocktails’: the Clockjack Fizz made with Aperol; the Sparkling Mojito made with prosecco; and the BBQ Old Fashioned, which uses BBQ sauce to put a spin on the whiskey-based classic.
Commenting on the behalf of the Woolwich Arsenal Estate, Gavin Rowlands, Director at Nash Bond, said: “The opening of Clockjack is another step forward in the exciting regeneration of Powis Street and strengthens Woolwich as a prime London location. Interest in the area from restaurants and retailers continues to grow, with brands like Clockjack only enhancing Woolwich Arsenal Estate’s retail and leisure line-up.”
Fraser Duncan, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Clockjack, added: “The first week of trading at Woolwich has been really strong and we feel at home already here. It is a great location, which thanks to the management of the area and the arrival of Crossrail is only going to evolve the destination and we are thrilled to be at the heart of it.”
Clockjack joins Spanish artisan Granier Bakery Café, which launched only their second site in the UK at Woolwich Arsenal Estates earlier in the year.
Comprising more than 350,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space concentrated on Powis Street and Hare Street, the Woolwich Arsenal Estate is in the town centre of Woolwich. In addition to the retail, the Estate includes over 60 apartments totalling in excess of 42,000 sq. ft. The forthcoming opening of Crossrail is helping to drive Woolwich’s transformation, with the Woolwich Arsenal Estate sitting at the heart of many significant new residential developments that appeal to the large volumes of young, urban consumers moving into the area.
