Harden's survey result
Summary
Launched in February 2024, this welcoming, unpretentious bistro in Horsforth is the work of Yorkshire-born chef Sandy Jarvis, returning after a successful decade at kitchens in London. Low-intervention wines are also a major focus, as his partner and co-founder Clement Cousin grew up on a biodynamic vineyard in the Loire Valley, and his family’s wines are on the list. Early feedback in our annual diners’ poll suggests it’s doing an excellent all-round job as a superior local bistro (but its early PR coup of being declared the best local restaurant in the UK by The Good Food Guide may be over-egging matters a bit).
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).

Bavette Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Second visit and won't be our last. everything this time was exceptional and Clemente is a wonderful front of house"
"What a delightful restaurant. A real French style local bistro but with a fantastic standard both of service and food. The owner, Clement, was a delight, so friendly and chatty. One of the most enjoyable food experiences this year so far although not cheap. For 3 of us with a Cote de Boeuf cooked to perfection we paid almost £80 a head which is steep for this part of the country but the food was outstanding."
"Excellent food served by a friendly team. only thing that stopped it getting 5 stars was the crab starter which was overseasoned and had some shell "
