Harden's survey result
Summary
This “great local restaurant” has notched up 25 years in Wimbledon Village, and “turns out far better food than you might expect from a local spot”. An “interesting menu” of Mediterranean-influenced dishes means it is frequently packed.
Summary
“Almost part of Wimbledon’s heritage nowadays!”: after a quarter of a century’s service, this local indie is a local contemporary classic, known for its “very good” Mediterranean-style food and “personable staff”. Fans say it’s “upped its game over the last year” too, although it “can struggle to cope when crowded”.
Summary
Celebrating its 25th year, “this excellent, independent neighbourhood restaurant knocks out top-class Mediterranean dishes at no more than you’d pay in a nearby pub” – in an “imaginative” culinary style that’s “not changed much over the years”. It can seem pricey, or “hit and miss”, but there’s also an argument that it’s “so underrated”.

The Light House Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We had a lovely time celebrating my wife's birthday, the food was fantastic and the staff were delightful. Everything made for an excellent afternoon and the special little touches such as having a birthday message printed on the menu as well as a birthday dessert were really appreciated. We've long loved the Light House and this just served to cement that feeling."
