Harden's says

Cakes and light bites all day, global street food small plates on Wednesdays and Thursdays, a mystery tasting menu on Friday nights - there's lots to choose from at this friendly cafe-restaurant, run by the four Crouch brothers.

“Owned & run hands-on by four brothers with a passion for quality food” – Reuben, Adam, Ben and Josh Crouch (hence CSONS), who also run Ludlow’s Green Café – this mainly daytime venue majors in “locally sourced seasonal ingredients served in interesting ways”, with “a Middle Eastern influence that makes for aromatic dishes”. It’s “not strictly vegetarian/vegan, but many options are available”.

‘Inventive and good-value café-style food’ is the motto of this friendly venture, established by the four Crouch brothers (hence CSONS). Come early in the day for an “interesting alternative to traditional bacon and eggs” (it features chorizo and smoked chilli sauce), then enjoy cakes, bakes and focaccia by day; or drop in for their Friday and Saturday night dinners.

For 33 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).
