Harden's survey result
Summary
A “very handy local” in a former pub on a corner overlooking Wandsworth Common that has “a good buzz when busy” and enjoys a fair amount of support in southwest London. Foodwise, reports suggest it’s decent if rather middle-of-the-road, but the wine offering – from owner John Brinkley’s shop in Chelsea – is a strength.
Summary
Overlooking Wandsworth Common, John Brinkley’s local venue offers “pleasant if unremarkable” cuisine and benefits from his knowledge of wine – “more quiet than the one at Hollywood Road but a great place to have a nice relaxed dinner”.
Summary
“Always busy local favourite” facing onto Wandsworth Common. It serves “competent modern British food” but what particularly helps keep its regulars coming back is a “keenly priced wine list” from owner John Brinkley, who has a string of wine-focused venues in southwest London.
Summary
This “always busy neighbourhood favourite” overlooking Wandsworth Common ticks the boxes as a “very handy local”, with John Brinkley’s trademark “keenly priced wine list” and “competent modern British food”.
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).

"New owners have nudged the quality of the modern eclectic cooking up a notch but sadly dispensed with the keenly priced wine list. "
