Harden's survey result
Summary
This early Victorian pub, just off Ladbroke Grove near Holland Park Avenue, has a long track record as one of London’s more civilised and agreeable watering holes, with “an always buzzy atmosphere” in its elegant interior and pleasant outside terrace too – even if “service suffers a bit when very busy”: an “excellent choice for steak and chips, among other interesting pub-grub standards”.
Summary
“Such a charming pub in Notting Hill, with a lovely garden at the front” – “perfect for a long, lazy, lingering Sunday afternoon” – “and excellent gastropub food”; it’s “always buzzing and friendly”.
Summary
With its “perfect pub atmosphere”, “pretty front garden” and “excellent, interesting food that never disappoints”, this unusually gracious Ladbroke Grove local is “a real contender” as one the capital’s better hostelries. On the debit side, service was often said to be “up and down” this year (“smiling and helpful, but run off their feet”).
Summary
With its flower-bedecked exterior and “relaxed neighbourhood vibe”, this Ladbroke Grove local is “certainly one of the better pubs” in the capital, serving “delicious food that’s definitely more restaurant than pub grub” alongside “good beer”. It’s close to Holland Park, and attracts a good Sunday lunch crowd.
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).
