From January 7 the new residency will be Rake, which aims to serve "largely unfeigned, restorative fare, giving due respect to British cookery. The focus, among other produce, is on whole beast butchery and sustainable Cornish fish."
Four Legs have left The Compton Arms in Islington and bought a clapped out old boozer in Finsbury Park – The Plimsoll.
Harden's says
This Islington boozer is packed when Arsenal are playing at home and is also said to have inspired George Orwell’s fictional, idealised pub The Moon Under Water. Foodwise its known for its series of food residencies, most recently 'Four Legs' which ran off to Finsbury Park, Tollingtons, Tiella, and now Rake.

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).
