Harden's survey result
Summary
It looks like a fairly typical roadside pub (with rooms), but this two-year-old venue beside Harpenden Common from local lads Matthew Reader (chef) and Michael Singleton is a distinct cut above. You get “very good cooking from a local team who are serious about delivering a quality experience in an area not known for the quality of its eateries”.
Summary
This “stunning new opening from a former chef of Anglo in London's Leather Lane” (Matthew Reeder, who co-owns this boozer-with-rooms alongside Michael Singleton, another local lad) “is now in full swing, with excellent nose-to-tail seasonal British food in a warm and welcoming pub environment that belies the quality of the cooking”; “steak nights are on again and brilliant”.
For 32 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).
