Michelin-starred Shoreditch restaurant, The Clove Club has announced it will replace traditional bookings with a ticketing system - the first of its kind in Britain.
From April onwards, diners at The Clove Club will have to purchase tickets for their meal in advance, paying up-front for their food in the same way they would for a gig or a performance at the theatre.
The restaurant stipulates that any no-shows or cancellations, with less than 24 hours’ notice, will forfeit £65 per head.
