Harden's survey result
Summary
A February 2025 visit by King Charles III to The Polish Cultural Centre (POSK) near Ravenscourt Park highlights its prominence for London’s community of Poles. Although HRH probably didn’t drop by the informal caff at the end of the building, it’s worth remembering for its “Polish food canteen-style: pierogi (dumplings), soups, pork knuckle to name a few… and good cakes” all in “generous helpings” and at keen prices.
Summary
“Everyone loves this place” – the bustling “café within the Polish Cultural Centre (POSK)” near Ravenscourt Park is “slightly scruffy” but no-one cares given its super-cheap prices: you don’t need fret about the cost-of-living crisis here. “Wonderful and relaxing”, it’s “a great place to talk for ages” with “lovely coffee and really good cakes (cheesecake is fabulous); and they also offer hearty really good Polish home cooking like soups and pancakes”.
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).
