Harden's says
Billing itself as 20 years in the making – this intended-to-be-permanent pop-up is a prettily decorated dining room above The Vic pub in Mile End, launched in October 2025 by the team behind Hammersmith’s Faber, and the Somers Town Coffee House (the Yummy Collection). It’s small, with about 25 covers, and with seafood a strength of the modern British menu.

Not enough people have commented yet
Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
For 35 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).
