Harden's survey result
Summary
“Big and still with a great buzz” – these “vibey”, industrial-style haunts, owned by the Soho House group, have won an impressive following with their “inventive pizzas” (lots of them meaty), grungy-cool styling and staff who – despite a fair dose of hipster cred – maintain a welcoming attitude. Its ratings came off the boil a little in the last survey, though, and the odd reporter feels their performance is seeming more “tired”.

“Big and still with a great buzz” – these “vibey”, industrial-style haunts, owned by the Soho House group, have won an impressive following with their “inventive pizzas” (lots of them meaty), grungy-cool styling and staff who – despite a fair dose of hipster cred – maintain a welcoming attitude. Its ratings came off the boil a little this year, though, and the odd reporter feels their performance is seeming more “tired”.
Summary
“A really interesting take on the pizza genre” (with a focus on “original”, often hearty, toppings) combined with an excitingly grungy hipster vibe ensure this successful Soho House-owned group remains “extremely popular and always busy”. “Prices are reasonable too” and for such a style-conscious scene, gripes about service are notable by their absence.
Summary
“If you can tolerate the noise and the hipsters” (particularly at the “cavernous and noisy” Shoreditch original), these “slick” Soho House-owned haunts provide “decent pizza” with “interesting toppings and flavours” and “have a good vibe as well”.
For 30 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).
