Harden's survey result
Summary
“Old pub – now a neighbourhood bar/bistro” of over a quarter century’s standing in East Dulwich, which is “owned by locals and loved by locals for its friendly pub-style ambience but restaurant-level cooking”, its “friendly and helpful staff, and great vibe”. Top Menu Tips – “it’s one of the few places to offer savouries as well as ice cream and desserts”; “Sunday roasts and daily fish and vegetarian specials are fab”.
Summary
This “real local favourite” in East Dulwich from Rod Franklin and Tim Sheehan has served seasonal British cooking for more than 25 years, and is “famed for its Sunday roasts for carnivores” (but there’s more to it than meat, and “the varied menu always has an excellent selection of veggie/vegan dishes”). To the odd sceptic, it’s “OK, but really no more than that”.
Summary

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).
