Harden's survey result
Summary
Overlooking the canal at Granary Square behind King’s Cross station, this striking modern gastropub certainly looks the part and packs in the crowds. It avoids harsh critiques, but feedback generally makes it clear that “the location is better than the dining experience”.
Summary
“A great location on the canal with lots of outdoor seating” – and with “interesting views of the new developments around King’s Cross” – are the trump cards of this strikingly designed canalside gastropub on Granary Square. On the downside, the food is “fairly standard pub fodder” and it can just be “too much, too busy, too noisy”.
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).
