Harden's survey result
Summary
“Interesting food of great quality and at a good price” from chef Zack Deakins is the attraction at this Grade II-listed townhouse on Angel Hill: one of the city’s better established culinary destinations. It “has seemed really busy and vibrant this year, which is great to see and really builds a good ambience”.
Summary
“Adventurous and beautiful food” featuring “really interesting combinations” and served in a “well-spaced” setting by “discreet staff” add up to a “delightful” combination for all who comment on Zack Deakins’s “very welcoming” townhouse, off Angel Hill: the most commented-on eatery in the locality.
Summary
“Beautifully judged dishes appear from their small kitchen. How do they do it?” wonder fans of chef-patron Zack Deakins’s cooking in this “lovely old house” off Angel Hill. The “truly wonderful canapes” are a highlight, with the “generous” option of all eight for £11. Other reporters are more circumspect in their praise: “it’s a nice place to eat, but I wish they changed their menu more often – it starts to feel a bit samey” – or “there’s no doubting the intent and effort, but the tasting menu is a curate’s egg...”.
Summary
“The influence of a committed chef-patron is obvious” at this “fab old building” – a “lovely old house just off Angel Hill”, modernised with a “smart interior”: Zack Deakins’s “phenomenal” food is “ambitious yet well-executed” (“I was genuinely left speechless it was so good!”) and delivered by “a well-led front of house” who provide “slick, discreet service”. “Do try the canapes, but get your own set or you will fight over them!”.
