Harden's survey result
Summary
This glass-fronted fish and seafood specialist was the first restaurant to open in Borough Market 27 years ago, and remains a “solid if unexciting option” for its straightforward treatment of fresh ingredients. There’s a view that it “should be better” which may result from the high expectations of visitors to London’s foodie hub, but most reporters are well satisfied with their meal.
Summary
With “a varied and interesting menu of fish and seafood” – this “light and buzzy” glass-fronted modern fish restaurant satisfies most diners as “a good pitstop amidst the hum of Borough Market” – although there are persistent gripes that it’s “just not imaginative enough for the prices, exploiting the tourist location”. Top Tip – “nice for a team dinner (when the madding crowds have gone)”.
Summary
This “great fish restaurant offering a range of seafood (and other) dishes” has been a fixture for more than 20 years, behind a glass frontage “in the middle of buzzing Borough Market”. The fish is “the freshest” and there are “usually some unusual specials” – although many would argue that “the most appealing thing is its location”.
Summary
This “evergreen, upmarket fish restaurant in bustling Borough Market” has been a fixture of the area surrounding this foodie hub for more than two decades, noted for its glass frontage and “top-quality fresh fish”. It gets “busy”, though, and can be “a bit chaotic and unpolished”.
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).
