Harden's survey result
Summary
Set a little back from the busy Uxbridge Road, this large Victorian gin palace (est. 1829) retains much of its period grandeur and celebrates its history nowadays by offering over 100 artisan and big-name gins at the bar. Part of the Three Cheers Pub Co, it wins all-round solid ratings, including for its gastropub menu and pizzas (also available to take away).
Summary
This “old Victorian gin palace” “must be one of the best pubs in the Bush”, so for locals it has been “wonderful to see the Vic resurrect itself from the ashes of oblivion” (after a short period of closure last year). “The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the food is quite delicious” – “proper restaurant quality”; “they’ve recently added a pizza oven, and even the pizzas are a substantial cut above what you might expect”.

Summary
“Back from the brink, with good, reasonably priced food and an outstanding wine list… especially for a pub in W12” – this huge gin palace (with fine, traditional interior) on the main drag out of Shepherd’s Bush has survived turbulent times (due to a change of ownership) and is now back on form.
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).
