Harden's says
Opened in November 2023 inside the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, the once 'Naked Chef' made his return to the national restaurant scene with a menu devoted to British classics. He promises there will be "something for everyone".
Harden's survey result
Summary
Two years into the former ‘Naked Chef’s comeback to the UK restaurant scene, reporters are split on the quality of his all-British menu – although the setting, inside the Theatre Royal in the heart of Covent Garden, is by general agreement a “welcoming” one. Its most ardent fans applaud the “really nice food cooked and presented perfectly” from a menu of undemanding classics (fish ’n’ chips, chicken & rabbit pie, burger, rib-eye, lemon sole…), but there are numerous critics who dismiss it as “expensive and poor quality… the venue’s nice, but that’s it”.
Summary
“Lovely jubbly!” – The ‘Naked Chef’ made his return to the national restaurant scene in November 2023 with this “rustic” venue inside the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, serving a miscellaneous menu mixing pasta, steaks and quite interesting sharing dishes (Lobster Thermidor say, or Chicken & Rabbit Pie) with the likes of burgers and Chicken Caesar. It inspired no particular criticisms, but it’s hard to get too thrilled: “a nice venue but the food’s average…”; “a good choice, but pricey for Covent Garden”.
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).
