Harden's survey result
Summary
You can book any time for the cafés at the Bloomsbury store and for certain sittings in Marylebone if you visit these well-known cheese emporia. Obviously the cheese is an attraction in itself, but there are other high-quality options.
Summary
A “mouthwatering array of wonderful cheeses” – they stock from the UK, Ireland, France and Italy – is the most obvious reason to pay a visit to these cafés-cum-cheese shops. But they also serve excellent snacks and meals throughout the day, making the most of “fresh seasonal ingredients”.

Summary
“Cheese shop by day, great little bistro by night – highly recommended” is a typically enthusiastic response to this popular and upmarket trio in Marylebone, Bloomsbury and Highbury. The quote is slightly misleading, since all three have pretty serious breakfast and brunch offerings through the day, with “delicious food and some beautiful vegetable combinations”. But it is their cheese selection – from the UK, Ireland, France and Italy – that wins them renown.
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).
