Harden's says

A new venture from the team behind two of London’s favourite neighbourhood restaurants, Nest in Hackney and Fulham’s Fenn (Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman and Toby Neill); the 15-course tasting menu format focuses on hyper-seasonal food. Opened in October 2022, it's named after the church it's next door to (St Bartholomew The Great), not the luxury island.

Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman and Toby Neill – “the team from Nest and Fenn – have brought their A-game” to this “beautiful” Smithfield yearling, which opened in September 2022. “No expense can have been spared in the design and fit-out of this wonderful space, atmospherically situated with a floodlit view of St-Bartholomew-the-Great through the massive windows”. The “ambitious menu focuses on British ingredients” and each “adventurous” course is “cleverly delivered” and “with marvellous, personal service”. “It’s the finest of fine dining with some original and exceptional tastes from a fixed multi-course tasting menu”.

Summary

A new, even more ambitious venture from the team behind two of London’s favourite neighbourhood restaurants, Nest in Hackney and Fulham’s Fenn (Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman and Toby Neill); the 15-course tasting menu (£120) from chef Kate Austen will focus on hyper-seasonal food. Opening September 2022, it’s named after the church next door (St Bartholomew The Great), not the luxury island.

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).
