Harden's survey result
Summary
“The cheese toasty eaten in a cowshed is excellent” at this “Home Counties middle-class rural equivalent of street food” on a family-owned dairy farm, with hay bales to perch on. It’s pretty basic, so you need to “wrap up in cold weather as it’s in an open-sided barn” – and you’ll “need to navigate around the Audis, Volvos and Mercedes in the car park”.
Summary
“Great cheese toasties” – dripping with home-produced cheese and consumed “before or after a walk” – are the attraction at this ultra-casual spot on a family-run dairy farm which believes in “keeping things simple”: it is literally a modern agricultural shed to keep off the rain with bales of straw to sit on.
Summary
“Lovely cheese toasties served out of a barn, with nice coffee and cakes” might not sound all that wonderful, but they’re “Instagram ready” and dripping with just-melted cheese, served in a modern agricultural building strewn with straw and with hay bales for seats, on a 120-year-old family dairy farm (now organic) near Henley. You can also buy cheeses made on the farm to take home.
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).
