Harden's survey result
Summary
Andrew Pern’s gastropub offshoot from the Star Inn at Harome continues to inspire unusually mediocre feedback, with a majority of reports finding it severely “overrated” and with “OTT prices for the quality of the food”. Why, then, is it “very busy”? – it has a “lovely setting over the river” with “the best waterside terrace in the city (worth a visit for a drink if nothing else!)”

Summary
“Set in a lovely location next to the river”, Andrew Pern’s “posh gastropub” – a city offshoot from the Star Inn at Harome – is certainly capable of fine meals, and fans applaud its “proper ingredients, cooked well” that “celebrate British food”. But its ratings continue to be dragged down by “inconsistent cooking and sketchy service”: “dining here really is a rollercoaster: they need to get a grip and ensure some consistency in both food and service”.
Summary
“Try harder Andrew Pern!” His city cousin of the Star Inn at Harome has a “beautiful setting” near the river, but is far too “hit and miss”. “Why the food can’t be better is a mystery” and although some fans do hail its “deft British fare cooked with passion”, there are too many sceptics who feel “it’s not in the same class” with “real highs and lows observed over a number of visits”.
For 30 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).
