Harden's survey result
Summary
“Our favourite hideaway restaurant in the world!” – Harry and Caroline Hallam have, for over thirty years, run this small operation in their front room (a kind of early wave supper club, with just 10 seats). A handwritten menu offers very limited choice, but the quality of the cooking is exceptional: “we’ve been coming here for eight years and each time is a joy. The quality of food and distinct ambience is amazing!”
Summary
Harry & Caroline Hallam were way ahead of their time when – over thirty years ago – they launched what’s effectively a pop-up supper club in their front room. A handwritten menu offers a limited choice of two dishes for starter, main and pud and Harry’s cooking is in fairly traditional style, but – if not exactly ‘fine dining’ – very highly accomplished. It’s not a big space, with only ten seats, so on a quiet night you need to bring your own atmosphere. But no-one commenting gives anything less than full marks: book ahead, or they won’t know to buy food for you.

Summary
Harry & Caroline Hallam are celebrating thirty years in business at this 10-seater in their front room (which started decades before pop-ups and supper clubs entered the mainstream). Harry cooks (in a fairly traditional style), Caroline serves, and ratings all-round remain outstanding. There’s no website – they write out a hand-written menu daily. Book ahead, or they won’t know to buy food for you.
For 31 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).
