Harden's survey result
Summary
This Georgian mansion-turned-architectural salvage shop is a “wonderful old building in a location you’d least expect it, overlooking Vauxhall Cross’s huge gyratory system – and worth the trip!” for the “fun” and unexpected discovery of the “vibrant, buzzy bohemian bistro” it contains. Eating “amidst antiques a-plenty”, you can enjoy “unusual breakfasts”, “decent cocktails” and “excellent southwest French cuisine”, the work of well-known chef, Jackson Boxer. Service, though, can be “a bit off the ball”.

For 30 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).
