Harden's survey result
Summary
The national brand’s handy High Street perch is “THE place to have breakfast or brunch” locally, attracting uniformly positive reports this year. “The food is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for” and despite being “always busy”, it’s “still somehow always able to deliver”, with “excellent service” from the “polite and efficient” staff.
Summary
“Busy and buzzing”, this well commented-on branch of The Ivy’s spin-off group takes full advantage of its High Street address. But “standards are getting too much like a chain outlet”: “the food’s fine, but doesn’t justify its cost”.
Summary
This four-year-old branch of the now-ubiquitous Ivy chain is “always buzzy” – which may reflect its prominent position on Winchester’s High Street. What has become expected, though, is the largely lukewarm reaction from reporters to other aspects of the “pricey” operation.
Summary
Another newish link in the London celeb haunt’s growing empire, this “busy and most attractive restaurant” (est. May 2018) attracts a typical mixture of feelings for the brand. Fans do see it as a “great addition to the Winchester High Street” and say it’s “hard not to have a good time”. Detractors feel “all the attention has gone on the décor” and that value is sorely lacking: “not as good as Côte and twice the price!”
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).
