Harden's survey result
Summary
Tim Jefferies, who runs the photography gallery Hamiltons, and his business partner, Sri Lankan-born Larry Jayasekara – head chef at Pétrus until 2018 – opened this art-filled Mayfair passion project in March 2024. Money has been little object in the expense-be-damned fit-out of four floors, which incorporate a ground-level dining room (with 28 covers); seven-seat chef’s table adjoining a huge kitchen; a 14-seat event space; and space to store over 1,500 wines on site (which also incorporates two adjoining buildings). Larry’s £145 menu is – huge round of applause – à la carte, not tasting-based, and shows the originality one might hope for from pre-launch research which incorporated travel to 28 countries! The venture opened too late for survey feedback, but reviewers in the press and online have raved. The best restaurants are not run for money, and there’s no sign that profit is the main motive here. Jefferies has signed a 20-year lease: this looks set to be a mainstay of Mayfair dining in the years to come.
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).
