Harden's survey result
Summary
“Deservedly something of a local institution” – this industrial-style restaurant and grill “manages to provide a cut-above dining experience while retaining a low-key Hackney vibe” – making it the perfect location for the 2021 film Boiling Point, which was spun out into a BBC TV series in 2023.
Summary
This industrial-style space in Dalston, with an 11-metre Carrara marble bar, serves a “great range of well-prepared and presented” modern British dishes – notably char-grilled steaks. The business celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, and moved to its current site in 2016 – a “cavernous place” that made it an ideal location for the Bafta-nominated film Boiling Point, shot in one take on the day before the first national lockdown in March 2020.
Summary
“A menu that’s interesting without being pretentious, plus friendly staff and fun cocktails” underpins the appeal of this airy, industrial-ish venue, near Dalston station. Nice outside terrace, too.
Summary
“You can’t go far wrong”, according to the more-than-local fanclub of this open-plan venture, hiply located near Dalston Station; and serving “excellent, modern British food from a frequently changing menu” that’s “good value”. Top Tip – bottomless brunch.
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).
