Harden's says

Open in October 2024 – a sibing to the nearby Double Red Duke – this refurbished ancient pub serves a simple menu.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

In October 2024, Sam & Georgie Pearman added this newly refurbished ancient pub to their local empire which also includes the luxuriously refurbished ‘Double Red Duke’ across the road. Neither its older sibling nor this newcomer attracted feedback in our diners’ poll this year, but in his November 2024 review, The Times’s Giles Coren tootled out of the smoke to applaud a “bang-on-the-money modern country pub which is folksier than the Duke, more muscular in the menu, and thus even more my sort of thing”“weary satirists might call the style ‘Notting-Hill-on-the-Wold’”, but Giles is not convinced that’s the right way round.

For 34 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).
