Harden's survey result
Summary
Down a gentrifying side street near West Brompton tube, this characterful boozer was among the first in town to go gastro in the 1990s – and has a “better vibe than ever”, thanks to its enlarged garden (“a winner when the sun shines”); and also now a refurbished upstairs dining room. The slightly unusual Italian-influenced menu helps make it “a good-value option for a relaxed meal with friends”. (It is part of a family-owned west London group that includes the Dartmouth Castle in Hammersmith and Swan in Chiswick.)
Summary
One of London’s earlier-wave of gastropubs, this “great local” can still feel like a discovery down a side street near West Brompton tube, despite being increasingly surrounded by the shiny new blocks built in the area. The Med-inspired cuisine remains a cut above. In summer “the terrace is fantastic in the sunshine” and its cosy interior is just the job on a cold day.
Summary
This “traditional backstreet pub – wood-panelled and with a walled garden” – is a good find in the thin area surrounding West Brompton tube and makes a cosy winter destination or – in summer – “the terrace is a great sun trap in the afternoon”. Its Med-inspired cuisine is a cut-above typical gastropub standards.
Summary
This “fab gastropub” with a “great menu” of Mediterranean-inspired scoff may not be quite worth a detour – but is certainly “a strong recommendation if you’re in the area”, close to West Brompton tube station. In business in its current incarnation for almost 25 years, it now has an “excellent terrace garden”, making it even more attractive for Sunday lunch or warm summer evenings.
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).
