Harden's survey result
Summary
A “fantastic wine list”, including “interesting wines by the glass”, is the strong suit at this Hammersmith hub, where verdicts on the “bistro cooking” range from “dependable, with good ingredients” to “OK but rather boring”. Breakfast gets a thumbs-up – “fab baps” and “they remember how you like your coffee”.
Summary
A “big terrace on Hammersmith Grove” draws a steady crowd to this “reliable local”, whose “buzzy atmosphere and interesting wine list” make it “a good place for meeting friends” (including for “coffee and pastries” at its adjoining deli). The menu offers a good range from small plates to full meals: but while most reporters see it as a “reliable local”, there is the odd dissenter who feels “if it were run better, it could be brilliant not average”.
Summary
An “interesting wine list” is backed up by “reliable and quite imaginative food” at this modern and “very friendly” wine bar (with a sunny terrace) on a leafy Hammersmith corner. Wines are available pre-paid and by the glass to encourage experimentation, and can be bought by the bottle from the attached shop. There’s another branch in Kensington.

For 32 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).
