Harden's says
Replacing the Harlequin (RIP) is this seasonal British restaurant from the team behind Hackney's NEST (we're not sure about all the capitals either), including chefs Johnnie Crowe and Joe Laker.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A top addition to West London’s restaurant scene”; this quite basic, 30-seat sibling (plus terrace) to Hackney’s Nest is “dreadful to get to” (unless you happen to live in Fulham near Wandsworth Bridge), but it more than repays the effort with “innovative and well-crafted food” that’s “well-priced” plus “a great selection of wines”, all served by a “passionate” front-of-house team.
Summary
“If you live anywhere near Fulham you have to go!” and discover this “recognition-worthy” newcomer – which looks like “a proper local, but serves star-quality food”. The team behind Hackney’s Nest (Luke Wasserman, Toby Neill and Johnnie Crowe) crossed town to open this 30-seater venture plus terrace, first launching it as Harlequin (RIP) then redoing it as Fenn. “The location is not ideal” given “the continuous traffic you get on Wandsworth Bridge Road”, but “the wonderful food and wines more than make up for seeking it out”. Chef Joe Laker, ex-Anglo, is at the stoves, and his “stunning and creative” but unponcey British cooking inspires raves: “every plate is wonderfully crafted” and there’s “an interesting wine list full of surprises”, all delivered by “a charming, helpful young team”. “The tasting menu is certainly worth it – as otherwise it would be too hard to choose!”.
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).
