The “short and desirable menu” of modern British dishes continues to win praise for this ambitious gastropub near Columbia Road Market, from former St John chefs Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram. A huge hit when it opened, it’s adopted a lower profile over the years, but remains “just the place to take hard-to-impress young adult children”.

Good, if slightly up-and-down reports this year on Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram’s well-regarded pub near Columbia Road Market, known for its superior gastropub menu and terrific Sunday roasts.

“Still just about a pub”, this chef-run operation near Columbia Road Market is “way, way ahead of other gastropubs, and just gets better”. It serves “one of the best and most reliable roasts anywhere” – perfect after a trip to the flower market on Sunday morning – and “is sublime during the week, with great cocktails and beer selection”.

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).
