Harden's says
he first opening from “evolv” – the renamed group that was D&D London – an extension of the Bluebird name previously synonymous with its landmark Chelsea site, the former Bluebird car garage, which is now set to be cloned in Moorgate as a new identity for the brasserie on the ground floor of the group’s South Place Hotel. It will offer a mix of dishes from Chelsea's menu, along with new ideas from Executive Head Chef Rob Grist. The interior remains largely unchanged from its former incarnation, but the terrace will feature Bluebird's distinctive looks with large umbrellas, planters, and private bookable cabins.
Harden's survey result
Summary
The first opening from ‘Evolv’ – the renamed group that was D&D London – an extension of the Bluebird brand previously synonymous with the famous Chelsea landmark. It’s now the new identity for the brasserie on the ground floor of the group’s South Place Hotel. The brasserie menu will not represent a big departure from its former style and likewise the interior is largely unchanged from its former incarnation (although the terrace features Bluebird’s distinctive looks with large umbrellas, planters, and private bookable cabins). Given Bluebird’s dirgeful performance over many years, don’t go with any high hopes, but historically this has been a useful if undistinguished City-fringe rendezvous.
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).
