Harden's says
Clapton’s in-the-know wine shop and communal dining spot, P Franco, which serves up “wonderful, innovative food” opened a fully fledged restaurant on the former site of Ellory in Hackney’s Neil House, in May 2018. William Gleave, whose CV includes 40 Maltby Street and Brawn, heads up the kitchen. The wine, from the people behind Noble Fine Liquor on Broadway Market, is not your standard plonk, either. The Clapton original continues as usual with its rotating roster of chefs.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Hipster dining at its very best, free of the pretentious flourishes and stuffy formalities of fine dining” – that’s the renown of this semi-industrial space in London Fields, from the same team as P Franco and Peg, whose features include a carefully curated wine list and nowadays also an outside terrace. Its ratings were taken down a notch this year, though, by the odd report of “bland” results.
Summary
“Beautiful food, with elegance and full, intense flavours” from a menu of “simple, high-quality dishes”, backed up by a list of “natural wines from top importers” – all served in a “laid back”, semi-industrial space (formerly Ellory, RIP) – wins adulation for this yearling in London Fields, from the team behind fooderati fave-rave P Franco.

For 31 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).
