Harden's survey result
Summary
“‘Cut-above’ pub food” is served in this “beautiful Georgian tavern” in Greenwich, whose garden has been “transformed into a well-designed and extensive eating area” (“far nicer than the makeshift tents that often emerged in the pandemic”).
Summary
“Such a well-equipped and attractive outdoor area, warm and well lit” proved a particular boon during the pandemic at this three-storey Georgian tavern in Greenwich. Chef Guy Awford and his team deliver a menu focussed on mezze and grill dishes, including a number of ‘feasting’ options for the whole table.
Summary
“One of the best in the Greenwich area” – this three-storey Georgian tavern has a “beautiful garden” and “sits away from the main drag, so it’s not overly packed and touristy”. Chef Guy Awford is a well-known name in these parts having cooked at Inside (RIP) for many years, and is credited with some “brilliant cooking” here too. In mid 2019 it closed, to be totally transformed, with re-opening set for September 2019: if they get it half right, this will become Greenwich’s No. 1 destination. (Ratings are based on past performance: not yet post-revamp).

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).
