Harden's says
We were expecting the latest news from Salt Yard to be about their Borough opening, but this popped up instead! Opened July 2022.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A variety of excellent tapas” (mixing Spanish and Italian inspirations) and an appealing, “buzzy” (if sometimes “loud”) atmosphere created huge interest in the original Fitzrovia branch, when it opened back in 2005. But while still retaining a loyal fan club, it can seem overhyped nowadays (“it’s always listed as a go-to place, but there are much better tapas available elsewhere now”). Having spawned various spin-offs (Dehesa, Opera Tavern, Ember Yard), since 2018 it’s been part of Urban Pubs & Bars who have decided to roll it out: first to Westfield in Shepherd’s Bush (which opened in July 2022) and coming soon to Borough Market if local planning objections can be overcome.
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).

Salt Yard Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Sat 'outside', under cover but with a window, bar seats. I do like the food and the wine list. We had chorizo with potatoes and spring onions, chicken with harissa, great flat bread with garlic. Wonderful tomato salad and patatas bravos. Lovely staff. Awkward shape restaurant."
