Harden's survey result
Summary
“Lovely food in a very relaxed environment” has earned a glowing reputation for Chris Hicks & Alex Bagner’s revamped boozer. “Service is informal but professional”, and “the dishes well executed, with touches of originality in flavour combinations made for taste rather than curiosity”. Top Menu Tip – “desserts of freshly made light olive cake with poached apple and blackberry and raspberry millefeuille with very light pastry and creme anglaise, both to a high standard”.
Summary
This “lovely little pub” on the high street has had quite the history: it was long under John Matthews, owner of Thompson & Son brewery; in 2016, his great-grandson Christopher Hicks took over, and has transformed it into a very stylish hotel replete with Emin artworks and a tandem bicycle for guests. The “really good, mostly local produce” is “beautifully done” and features an “excellent value lunch” as well as popular Scandi-style breakfasts.
Summary
The dining room of this “charming contemporary” hotel serves an “innovative and evolving menu”, along with highly rated Scandi-style breakfasts. The 200-year-old venue has been revived by Christopher Hicks, whose great-grandfather once owned it as part of his Thompson & Son brewery business, and with art by Tracey Emin among others on the walls, it’s very much in the spirit of the new Margate, just up the coast.
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).
