Harden's survey result
Summary
“It’s back” under new ownership and management – tucked away in the former HQ of Sandeman’s port dynasty, this City haunt was “much missed by locals in search of a good ‘working’ lunch, and is settling back into operation nicely” after a four-year interregnum. The modern European cuisine and service are consistently well rated, and “the experience is not too expensive” – while the 600-bottle wine list, appropriately strong on port, is “as good as they come”.
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).
