“Such a well-equipped and attractive outdoor area, warm and well lit” proved a particular boon during the pandemic at this three-storey Georgian tavern in Greenwich. Chef Guy Awford and his team deliver a menu focussed on mezze and grill dishes, including a number of ‘feasting’ options for the whole table.

For 33 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).
