Harden's survey result
Summary
“Great breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea in a proper yurt!” – who could ask for more, query fans of this “amazing cafe in an unlikely place!”: the aforementioned yurt in the grounds of the Royal Foundation of St Katherine in Limehouse. “Staff are lovely and the cafe is part of a charity which works with food poverty and social deprivation in the area. A real feel-good vibe!”
Summary
“A wonderful café tucked away in the grounds of The Royal Foundation of St Katharine in Limehouse” – London’s ‘first yurt café’ (opened in 2016) provides “an oasis of calm” in the East End. Motto: ‘Community, Creativity, Connection’ – “it’s open for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea and does a small but lovely range of freshly cooked food”. “In summer, there are tables outside under canopies where you can watch the butterflies in the community garden; in winter it is toasty, warm and cosy”. Top Menu Tip – “amazing full English for breakfast”.
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).
