Good if still-limited reports on David Hart’s no-frills wine bar, bottle shop and 26-seat restaurant, serving mostly French and Italian bottles as well as some local Kent wines and a small menu of simple dishes to keep them company.

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).
