Harden's says
The owners of Sonny's (formerly on this site, RIP), Rebecca Mascarenhas and Philip Howard, have named the replacement simply Church Road. Elystan Street alumni Sam Astley-Dean (chef) and Alan Parry (front of house) are in charge.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Fans of Rebecca Mascarenhas’s Barnes fixture (which some may still recall as Sonny’s, long RIP) say it “deserves higher recognition and praise”, benefitting as it does from “the Phil Howard magic” (the co-owner, who lives nearby) in delivering “excellent” food (for example, “a perfect lobster and chips lunch”) and a “thoughtfully compiled wine list”. But what is a “sophisticated setting” for many supporters can also appear to “lack atmosphere”.
Summary
“High quality reflects the Phil Howard influence” at the Elystan Street chef’s relaxed operation on his home turf in Barnes, launched in 2019 with business partner Rebecca Mascarenhas, on the site of their previous, less ambitious offering, Sonny’s (RIP). It’s “a cosy yet elegant” use of the space, with food “better than at your average local, and with a very good wine list”.
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).
