Harden's survey result
Summary
“No-fuss”, “fresh seafood done really well” combines with a “fun” and “buzzy” (“riotous” even!) ambience, at this Soho landmark – formerly a butcher (est 1911) that morphed into a restaurant 25 years ago. “It’s still excellent after all these years, like meeting an old friend – we love it”. “Go for the specials, they’re always worth trying”.

With its “great buzz and very nice vibe, it’s always full of energy”, and “warm and friendly” staff deliver “outstanding fresh seafood, especially the big plateaux de fruits de mer”, plus “sumptuous natives, fish ’n’ chips, fish soup and lobster po’boy, all of ’em delicious”.

“The epitome of a Soho lifestyle” is to be found at this “fun” classic, near The Box Soho, where “great people watching” helps whet the appetite for some “brilliant fruits de mer and fabulous fish”, enjoyed while nattering and perched on high bar stools. “Service is warm, friendly and, occasionally, quirky in a good way”. “Be prepared to queue but it’s worth the wait”.
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).
