Harden's says

High-profile Aussie ex-Nobu head chef Scott Hallsworth's second permanent Freak Scene, near his home in Balham, follows last year's launch in Parson's Green of what was initially a roving pop-up project, delivering his trademark combination of sushi and revved-up pan-Asian cuisine. Expect a fun atmosphere and culinary fireworks.

“It’s very small and I don’t like the music they play… but the food is very good!” – Scott Hallsworth & Adam Hills’s “very small, but lively” duo of funky izakayas in Parsons Green and Balham. Ex-Nobu head chef, Aussie Hallsworth started ‘Freak Scene’ as a pop up, and it has evolved a “very interesting short menu”, with the focus in SW12 more on sushi and robata.

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).
