Harden's survey result
Summary
“Always busy local favourite” facing onto Wandsworth Common. It serves “competent modern British food” but what particularly helps keep its regulars coming back is a “keenly priced wine list” from owner John Brinkley, who has a string of wine-focused venues in southwest London.
Summary
This “always busy neighbourhood favourite” overlooking Wandsworth Common ticks the boxes as a “very handy local”, with John Brinkley’s trademark “keenly priced wine list” and “competent modern British food”.
Summary
This “smart neighbourhood restaurant” is a popular spot for evening rendez-vous or Sunday lunches overlooking Wandsworth Common (a few doors from local star Chez Bruce). “The food is good eclectic modern bistro fare – but you don’t go for the food, you go for the feel-good atmosphere and the convenience”. It is an offshoot of John Brinkley’s Chelsea-based group, and his excellent wine selection is also a feature here.
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).
