Harden's survey result
Summary
Their original venue on Walcot Street is no more, but this “friendly and casual” sibling on Chapel Row – indie fine wine shop meets bar and small plates venue – is doing a swift trade, not harmed by its gorgeous heated terrace and garden. Alongside “wines outside the usual suspects” (they run a Wednesday wine club and tasting nights), the food is “a cut above” what one might expect from a booze merchant, even for those who are “usually not a fan of small plates and explanations”.
Summary
Limited but positive feedback this year on this well-established wine bar and bottle shop, whose distinguishing feature is a large, barn-like extension and terrace that really comes into its own during the warmer months.
Summary
A range of “eclectic English seasonal tapas/small plates” – with plenty of modern European influences – is served alongside “a very credible but affordable wine list” at this wine shop and bar off Queen Square that started life as a pop-up social project. “There’s now a huge barn extension that allows for a pleasant summer evening” spent sampling “interesting and unusual wines”.
Summary
“The range of wine is astonishing, and the staff knowledgeable” at this congenial operation: “really more a wine bar with food, rather than a restaurant” but where “the simple fare tastes great”. You can also buy to take away at the adjoining wine shop. (There was a Walcot Road sibling, but this is no more).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
