Harden's survey result
Summary
This “too-cool-for-school” Clapton bar and bottle shop has long been a ‘must-mention’ by journalists creating roundups of East End foodie hot spots. It serves “interesting” low-intervention wines and “inventive small plates” whose “deft cooking and wonderful flavours is hidden by the simplicity of the menu”. “The ambience is great too… if you’re looking for a slightly tatty and bustling wine bar spilling out onto the pavement in a seedy shopping parade in Hackney”.
Summary
A darling of the online fooderati – Clapton’s small bar and bottle shop enjoys a media reputation out of all proportion to its modest size. If you want to run with the East End hip crowd – or just enjoy the excellent natural wines – it’s worth a visit (but is walk-in only). Small, simple plates (choose from about 10 costing £5-£10) are prepared by an ever-changing roster of chefs.
Summary
No Eater newsletter is complete without paradisical claims for this – still the online fooderati’s favourite bottle shop – in gentrifying Clapton: a “funky” and “buzzy”, if “very crowded” little space where “sensational wines” (of the ‘natural’ variety) are accompanied by “amazing” and “eclectic” small plates from an ever-changing roster of chefs: all eaten at a communal central table.
For 33 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).
