Harden's survey result
Summary
Yorkshire-born chef, Jonathan ‘Jono’ Hawthorne (a MasterChef: The Professionals 2020 finalist) presides over this city-centre hotspot, presenting a nine-course menu for £79 per person (as well as a five-course alternative, and various other vegan, vegetarian and Sunday lunch options). Many of the city’s fooderati feel he is unfairly overlooked by the tyre men, but it inspired limited and slightly mixed feedback this year in our annual diners’ poll: from “Wow!… what an experience… lovely lovely food” to the odd let down.
Summary
“A fabulous evening out” – “Chef Jono’s cooking is so different: outstanding, creative and beautifully presented”. Yorkshire-born Jono Hawthorne has worked in leading kitchens including the Box Tree in Ilkley, Noma in Copenhagen and the Quay in Sydney – and is now making a real name for himself in Leeds.
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).
