Harden's says
Now relocated from its original Roushill location to nearby Lower Claremont Bank.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Local lad Ben Hall worked at the acclaimed Gidleigh Park, among others, before teaming up with partner Carla Cook to launch this ambitious five-year-old; in November 2022, they upped sticks from their former premises in Roushill to a larger, ex-warehouse setting on Claremont Bank in the city centre. The “really excellent food” (tasting menu only on Fri/Sat nights) remains intact at what is, for fans, “the best restaurant in Shrewsbury”.
Summary
Ben Hall and Carla Cook have created a “super menu and the food delivered matches up… in fact exceeds expectations” at this four-year-old venture with an open kitchen. “It’s small, so be sure to book in advance, especially for a special occasion.”
Summary
Locally born chef Ben Hall and his partner Carla cook meals of high ambition and real achievement in the two-storey restaurant they opened in a former café three years ago. The pair, who both worked under Michael Wignall at Dartmoor’s grand Gidleigh Park, have a walled garden five miles away in Ford to grow produce for their tiny open kitchen.
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).
