Harden's survey result
Summary
“Consistently lovely” French food and “helpful staff” led by “genial owner Laurent Brydniak” and his wife Aude ensure that a meal at this “fantastic restaurant is always wonderful” – “I love the small rooms with just a few tables in each”.
Summary
This “consistent, unpretentious and very welcoming pub/restaurant” under French owner Laurent Brydniak provides “a charming, comfortable environment” in interconnecting dining rooms, and an “excellent menu that delivers the promised delights”. “The wine list and cheeses are superb” and the overall experience is “far nicer than most similar places”.
Summary
“Friendly French owner” Laurent Brydniak oversees this “attractive” old boozer with separate dining room where the “menu changes regularly”. The set-up is fancier than one might expect for the genre, and the “very reasonable fixed-price menu at lunch” is a major draw.

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).
