Harden's survey result
Summary
Opening in late 2020 – between lockdowns – the “lovely outdoor seating” at this large newcomer set around a Chelsea courtyard quickly came into its own. It’s the debut restaurant for Hugh Stanley, with Olivia Burt (ex-Claridge’s and MasterChef: The Professionals winner) at the stoves, and although some sceptics feel it “doesn’t live up to Liv Burt’s performance on TV”, the majority of reports are of food with “exceptional quality and presentation”.
For 31 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).

Stanley's Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Good local with well executed dishes. Nothing on the menu is particuarly innovative, but this is a good local. Strange pricing structure makes some dishes good value and others very over-priced (£14 for a bowl of soup). Disappointing wine list. Great outdoor space for the summer. Music is jarring and intrusive."
