Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fun little restaurant in Borough Market” has pioneered “very interesting natural wines” and wood-fire cooking for more than a decade, building a legion of fans in the process. “Have lost count of the number of times I’ve stopped by for a glass of wine and cheesy puffs”, says one. “Sam [co-owner Samantha Lim] is the best host in London and the food matches the service in every way”. A second branch opened on Mare Street in Hackney in summer 2021.
Summary
“The kind of place you could eat at any day of the week” – this open-fronted wine bar and café stalwart looking onto Borough Market wins consistent praise for its “punchy plates”, many of them from a wood-fired oven; and “well-priced wine” (with “a good selection by the glass”)… so “invent any reason, just go”.

For 32 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).
