Harden's says
From the Hart Bros, a terrace and Spanish grill next to Barrafina in Coal Drops Yard.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A smokey, fun, tasty and companionable way to enjoy an outdoor lunch or dinner” – the Hart Bros’ “great terrace” (all outside) overlooking the Regent’s Canal in Coal Drops Yard provides a form of DIY mini-grill, whereby you BBQ your selection to your liking. Even the odd reporter who is “not too convinced by the cook-for-yourself format” thinks it’s “good for a change”.
Summary
“An experience as well as amazing food!” – the Hart Bros’ spring 2019 yearling, in Coal Drops Yard, occupies a big, glam terrace, overlooking Regent’s Canal: “it’s outside only, partially protected from the rain, but with no protection from any wind”. Each table has its own DIY tabletop mini-grill (the eponymous ‘parrillan’): “you grill your own partially-prepared vegetables, meats and fish”; and there’s also a selection of ‘para picar’ (Spanish nibbles). All early feedback says the formula stacks up well, but one or two diners feel the bill ends up a tad pricey.

For 31 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).
