The critic visits the Balham value-destination (long praised as such in Harden’s) and is much pleased. And you always learn something new – Mr Lambert, topically enough, used to work at Merrill Lynch.

Mr Walsh kindly tops and tails his review of this south London restaurant with mentions for Harden’s. Having ‘discovered’ Lambert’s for the purposes of his review, he looks in the guide only to find that the place has been “well and truly discovered” by our own publication.
