Harden's says
The new long-term chef residency at this popular Highbury gastropub is from a duo, Jay Claus and Syrus Pickhaver, promising long-forgotten British dishes using whole-beast butchery and sustainable Cornish fish. Expectations are high: previous residencies have included Dara Klein's Tiello and the 'Four Legs' team, both big hits.

Summary
The new long-term chef residency at this culinarily renowned Highbury gastropub is from a duo, Jay Claus and Syrus Pickhaver, promising long-forgotten British dishes using whole-beast butchery and sustainable Cornish fish. It has yet to inspire any interest in our annual diners’ poll, though (nor for that matter, amongst any newspaper reviewers) – reports please!
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).
