Harden's says

On the site of the original Little Chartroom, and still owned by chef-owner Roberta Hall-McCarron, this place will be a wine bar and small plates spot.

The younger sibling of the Little Chartroom (and occupying its old premises) certainly holds its own against its forebear; the cosy wine bar and restaurant with high stools and wooden tables turns out “lovely inventive cooking” (often fish-centric) “with exemplary service” to boot; bonus points for the “great music!”.

This “outstanding sharing plates restaurant” is “baby sister to the Little Chartroom”, and occupies the site it vacated when founders Roberta Hall & Shaun McCarron needed bigger premises for their main operation. But there’s no suggestion that Eleanore is a secondary consideration, and its “tasty changing menu” wows all who are lucky enough to bag a table.

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).
