Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
The Harwood arms walham Grove, Fulham, London ka ek jabarjast restaurant hai. Yaha par aap apne pariwaar ke saath jaaye or yaha ke Khaane ka lutf uthaaye
When sitting around an open kitchen, I had often heard this being hurled around with some abandonment. It would inevitably seem to herald an amusing experience. When this exclamation wasn’t acted upon quickly by the serving staff, it was flung around almost as an expletive. Chefs, not the most patient of breeds, would at times lose it if the food wasn’t being served fast enough. Interesting episodes could follow as when a dish was summarily deposited on the floor as part of a particular vehement tirade by the head chef to apprentice.
Went for lunch. Good selection of food - either 2 or 3 course meal. Kids are welcomed too.
What I liked: scotch egg, pâte of trout, deer was tender and expertly cooked. Also loved the doughnuts with lemon curd. Not too sweet and nicely balanced. Fluffy too.
Harwood Arms is the only Michelin starred pub in London and you can expect very high quality food. Quite obviously a master in the kitchen, who took beetroot to a whole new level for me. You must try the barbequed beetroot starter with goats cheese, pistachios and bitter leaves. Service was friendly even though with a slight "we are so posh here" element. Prices for the set menus are very decent and considering the food quality it is a bargain. Definitely worth a visit. Visit my blog post to watch my video review of The Harwood Arms.
I wouldn't consider myself a frequenter of pubs but I had to make an exception for the Harwood Arms - London's only pub with a Michelin star. Although I will leave the interpretation of 'pub' to the reader, I will say that I use it here very liberally. In my opinion, The Harwood Arms, rather than a pub serving fine food, is more of a casual Michelin restaurant taking on a pub-like ambience.
Came here for the first time after a number of rave reviews from the wife who had been a number of times before. Strangely I thought it was Italian based, it's not, British Game would a much better description. Not sure how I got that in my head.
The Excellent : a lot of great advice on the wine, had a lovely couple of bottles based on their input. The potato side for the main. A new way for a potato for me!
The Good: venue, location, welcoming staff, starters were good.
The Avg: had high hopes on the scotch egg, I've had better. Nothing per see wrong with it. Just average. Well executed. We had the venison sharing (pictured) huge amount of meat. A little dry as you started getting into it. Left about 1/4 behind
The poor: 20min wait for our table despite the reservation and being on time.
So overall, above avg meal. But let down at a few key points
£80 per head, based on three bottles, starter, main, coffee and water.
Situated in a quiet street corner in fulham, you would have never guessed that this is a Michelin star gastropub. There is a very strong focus on game on the menu.
For entrees, I had the crispy sweetbreads with a ham and cheese croquette. Note that sweet breads are not breads but are an organ from the thymus gland and pancreas. The little nuggets of sweetbread had great crispy textures but were soft and tender inside. The ham and cheese croquette was a thin stick so I felt it was a bit lacking given the size. It lacked that creaminess you would expect from a croquette.
For mains, I had the roasted duck breast. I was expecting a crisp exterior but pink middle, unfortunately both criterias were not met and I was fairly disappointed. My duck was overcooked. I tried a similar duck breast at Heston's and this paled in comparison by leaps and bounds.
Dessert was a big tick with the special of the day. A simple custard with vanilla ice-cream. The custard was to die for and there were crunchy biscuit bits that added to the texture. Yum!
Its a good experience overall although some polishing required.
Given all the praise I had heard being sung for The Harwood Arms, I had become increasingly eager to go. Furthermore, it is currently the only pub in London to hold a Michelin star, which I found intriguing in itself.
Based on numerous recommendations, I had been dying to get down there, specifically for their Sunday roast. However, my complete inability to plan anything in advance and my unlucky streak when it came to trying to nab a last minute reservation, meant that I had to settle for Saturday lunch.
Despite not getting my first meal choice, I was blown away by the seasonality of the dishes on offer and the huge hit of flavour each of them delivered. I opted to go with the three course set menu option for £42.50, which I believe is available for dinner Monday through Sunday and for lunch over the weekend.
The Harwood Arms serves food that really pushes the boundary in terms of what is expected of pub food offerings. Furthermore, it provides a lovely place to while away the weekend hours with friends over good food and wine - which is, after all, what weekends are for. I will definitely be back to sample any new seasonal dishes…and to try that roast!
We were going to a Sunday match at Chelsea stadium so my British friends suggested The Harwood Arms, the Michelin starred Fulham pub for a pre match roast dinner (they call it dinner even if it is at 2pm...). The Harwood Arms is known for serving one of the best roasts in London and even though I am not a roast expert, I am Brazilian and very picky when it comes to good quality beef. Their meat was delicious and so were all the trimmings such as roasted potatoes and yorkshire pudding.

I’m up this morning with an ugly hangover, insides dry and sandpapery, hair knotted. In spite of my cat-dragged-through-the-bushes outwardly appearance, I feel a curious sort of inner contentment. Someone I’ve been getting to know recently took the plunge last night and broached the subject of exclusivity, which is a lovely gesture in itself, but preceded it by bringing me chips, in the middle of the night, after I’d spent the evening with far too much Laurent Perrier and not nearly enough carbs. Flowers be damned – there’s nothing more meaningful than personally delivering fast food at an ungodly hour to a girl in need, and I’d have an enviable glow if I wasn’t so monstrously hungover.
This post contains mostly photos of our recent visit to The Harwood Arms, Fulham, London. We drank a bottle of Weingut Sybille Kuntz Riesling 2010 Riesling Kabinett Trocken Mosel £36.00 and a bottle of Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru Contrôlée Beaune £55.00. We ate house bread; treacle cured smoked salmon with pickled apple, whiskey jelly and watercress £10.50; crispy duck egg with mushrooms; wild garlic and duck ham £10.50; wood pigeon faggots with celeriac and pickled mushrooms £10.50; stuffed leg of Cumbrian chicken with creamed potato, English asparagus and-spring lettuce £23.00; braised shank of Hoggetlamb with turnips, wild garlic and gentlemen's relish £23.00. For dessert we enjoyed Earl Grey tart with jersey milk ice cream £8.50 and treacle ice cream with stout and pear £8.50.
When the Harwood Arms first shot to fame, it was the first pub to ever be awarded a Michelin Star. Australian owner Brett Graham took what was a standard pub and gave it a makeover, infusing his skills and style into the menu while keeping the venue what it was at its heart - a pub.
The result is excellent quality, no nonsense food - the game and scotch egg are highlights with a focused selection of drinks.. Service is excellent, and there's still a pub quiz on once a week.
A wonderful eating experience. The food was truly exceptional, the service was friendly and professional and overall I would rate this as one of the best eating experiences while living in the uk. The food was quirky and smart but most of all, was absolutely declicious. Would definitely eat there again.
Food: 8.5 / 10
Service: 7.5 / 10
Ambience: 7.5 / 10
Huge improvement, very worthwhile and delicious. We went to the Harwood Arms a couple of months ago and were pretty disappointed, we scored it 6/10.
This week was a totally different story. The food was spot on and seriously imaginative. We had tempura oysters, mackerel in toasted sourdough wrap (fantastic!) for starters, chicken and lamb dishes for main course and a quince pudding. The wine was very good (unoaked Margret River Chardonnay and an excellent value Haut-Medoc). Service was very good too. All in all, a very worthwhile dining experience entirely meriting the price tag.
Great food, slow service. Started with a venison scotch egg, and finished much, much later with delicious desserts (slightly hazy memory as to exactly what). The delays between ordering / courses (and with much flagging of passing waitstaff) enabled the consumption of vast quantities of vino from the well-chosen (and annotated) wine list. Staff were perfectly friendly when we did see them so I guess the kitchen was mainly at fault - it ended up being a very long evening!
Unique experience. For patrons who are not familiar with gastropub fare, the menu at The Harwood Arms can be both intimidating and confusing. However, the waiters were very helpful and friendly with choosing the food and were very accommodating in bringing us a selection of starters which we could share. The food was well cooked and everything on the plate complemented each other perfectly. All in all it was a pleasant experience with quite unusual but well cooked food.
Great restaurant in a pub.... This was a great experience from a culinary perspective but was definitely a restaurant experience even though you could drink a pint of bitter with your Michelin starred food. It didn't disappoint. Venison features heavily on the menu and we shared the venison platter for 2 which consisted of the now famous venison scotch egg, carpaccio, glazed rizolle and (not sure why this was on a plate of Roe Deer?) smoked ham with pickled wild mushrooms and radishes. The scotch egg was molle, perfectly cooked. The winner was the raw venison, that seemed to have more flavour than the venison around the scotch egg. Venison has very little fat and I felt that it lacked the moistness that you get from pork.
The other dishes ordered were the snails cooked with oxtail and bone marrow and were sensational, a great mix of texture and flavour. The ox tongue which was served with a cauliflower croquette was a little bland and personally I am not mad about the texture of the meat, the croquette was a nice addition.
For the main course 2 people went for the Cullen Skink, I went for the braised beef cheek and one, the cod with salsify fritters. The Cullen Skink came with a crumbed deep fried hen's egg which again was cooked perfectly. The CK was served more like a stew than a soup and was made with mussels and not smoked haddock as I would have expected. I think I went for the best choice - the beef cheek was beautifully tender and served with a silky smooth jus which had to have been a stock made with pig trotters as it was stunningly gelatinous and flavoursome, one of the best I have ever tasted. The purée mash was as you would expect, rich and creamy and the glazed carrots were nicely al dente and well seasoned. I can't say what the pickled walnuts were like as they were forgotten! I didn't get a chance to try the cod but it was apparently excellent...

The hubby loves a scotch egg; large ones, black pudding ones, even those mini versions that I want to throw at small children. I knew their specimen would be worth the trip alone.
...just because Harwood Arms is on the coveted list doesn't mean it's lost it's appeal, nor does it mean you have to starve for a week after. It's surprisingly affordable with a superbly relaxed atmosphere. From the outside, it looks just like a pub
Overall I really enjoyed my second visit to Harwood Arms, it was a touch better than my first visit. Main course was heavenly and service was excellent. Decor is pub standard but forget about it, you are here for the quality food and great choices beer. It is well worth a trip to this special pub.
I've eaten (and cooked, if I do say so myself) some damn good roasts in my time. So when I say The Harwood Arms is in my top five roast experiences of all time, you can be assured it's worth a visit. As in, make it your mission to go. Now.
This gastro pub is just phenomenal, with some of the best food I have ever tasted. It is the only gastro pub in London which holds a Michelin Star and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, but most importantly, laughed a lot and had a great time. The lunch turned into a rather long day, which also included watching the rugby at a local pub, followed by dancing i
The Harwood Arms is the perfect kind of local pub. The food is of very good quality, and well executed. Actually I think it's very good value too - I wish I lived next to the Harwood, it would definitely be my local - I wish it could be my local...
The duck egg texture was nothing like I imagined. Rather than runny and watery, it was smooth, almost penna cotta like and intensely rich. Cutting it open didn’t start an ever expanding pool, it stayed rather in shape. Bacon was perfectly cooked and extra smoky, well balanced with the grilled onions and spring onion. It was quite interesting to see the spring onion being used as a divider, maybe I was suppose to eat the two separately?!
Wow, what a surprise! I seem to remember feasting on razor fish, venison and foraged wild sorrel. And the place was all poshed up with linen napkins...
I loved The Harwoord Arms. It was undoubtedly one of the best meals I have had this year. The seemingly familiar ingredients were put into recipes with a little twist, giving a bit of surprise to the dish. The meat was fresh, cooking was precise, service was swift and personable - I couldn't fault it. Those upstair dining rooms in East London pubs are no match, not even close. It was a shame there was no venison on the menu on the day, but I would definitely go back to have a taste of their hunted wild game.
The Harwood arms is a one Michelin starred Gastro-pub which serves British food and is a collaboration between Brett Graham of the Ledbury restaurant, Mike Robinson of the Pot Kiln pub in Berkshire and Edwin Vaux from the Vaux brewery. Their idea they say is "to provide Londoners with a really relaxed venue for eating the finest British produce, cooked amazingly well, accompanied by excellent beer and wine at a great price." Interestingly, in February 2011 Head Chef Barry Fitzgerald took over from ex-Ledbury chef Stephen William's in the kitchen. Stephen William's hard work and originality really put the Harwood on the map and without him I do not think that they would have been awarded a Michelin star in 2010, the first pub in London to have this accolade. Set Party Menu - Good Value! I went for a friend's birthday dinner on a friday night. The pub is about 5 minutes walk from Fulham broadway. Looks-wise, it is still definitely a charming pub, with vintag
The food here is proudly British in character. The cheek jowl of middlewhite pork is heavenly tender with a crackling that is to die for. Scotch eggs is a signature item here – with a gooey, molten centre...
The Harwood Arms is one of those pubs where people in the know tell you that you must visit. Aside from being London's only Michelin starred pub, what encouraged us to make the journey there is that one of the owners of this Fulham based legend is Brett Graham of The Ledbury. We know Brett's passion for food and even before entering, we view it unlikely that Brett would undertake anything but the best of its kind. The other owner is Mike Robinson of The Pot Kiln, and of TV fame. Though we are less familiar with Mike, he clearly has, like Brett, a passion for the outdoors and game. Little wonder then that The Harwood Arms website has on the food drop down menu sections for 'game and venison' and 'deer hunting', not typical of your average London pub. Inside The Harwood Arms itself, a moderately sparse interior carries the theme forward with deer/hunting pictures on the wall. Our visit being out of the game season for all but Roe deer, our choices are a little more straightforward. That
Harwood Arms, a collaboration between Brett Graham (The Ledbury) , Mike Robinson (Pot Kiln pub in rural Berkshire) and Edwin Vaux (Vaux brewery). It piqued quite a bit of interest when it garnered a Michelin star and this is for food churned out in a gastropub. Having been on both mine and Jen of DashiDashi 'To eat' list for a while now, we both decided to set a date and headed there together. Harwood Arms is seriously a pub, there is nothing about its exterior that attracts your attention from the average Joe pub. It lies inconspicuously in a corner where I had to walk past a block of care homes and residential homes to reach. We were the first table to arrive for their dinner service, guess we're both early dinner peeps! We decided to share so that we can try more of what is on the menu. Jen has been eyeing their roe deer and me, the scotch egg. A basket of bread (potato and soda bread) was placed on our table to get us started. I have to say that the breads are fantastic! They make
The Harwood Arms dining room is a simple affair, with bare wooden floors and tables without tablecloths (but with high quality napkins), and a few framed black and white photos on the plain walls. The emphasis here is on the food rather than the ambience,
Yes, it is true. During a visit to jolly-old England last fall, I was on a mission to experience Grouse, a specialty game bird that is only available during a very short hunting season in the U.K. and is rarely exported to the U.S. Well, if it IS exported
2010 has been a good year for Brett Graham. Not only did his restaurant The Ledbury gain another Michelin star - bringing the total to a highly respectable two, his other baby Harwood Arms (a joint venture with Mike Robinson of Berkshire pub The Pot Kiln
I still had my glass shoe when I came home but the Harwood Arms had played the perfect charming prince for the evening. Give it a few years and I won’t be surprised to see it becoming a king.
The Harwood Arms is a sneaky little bugger. Tucked on the end of a residential street, it had me doubting my usually flawless internal GPS (yes, I have an incredible sense of direction, another one of my completely awesome skills), to the point where I ev
I have been to The Harwood Arms three times since it opened its doors in a little corner of gentrified Fulham between Seagrave Road and North End Road. After every meal I conclude that this extraordinary "gastro pub " seems to get better. The Harwood Arms
It was fabulous. A spin-off of the much-lauded Pot Kiln in Berkshire, where Mike Robinson feeds his customers a menu of laser-guided seasonality comprising game he's often shot himself, The Harwood Arms competes in a different league from the places it su
No doubt you will have read the multitude of pieces extolling the virtues of this greatest of London pubs. The pub's shiny Michelin win, was both a surprise and a seal of approval for its greatness solidifying its status as the epitome of pub grub in Lond
Considering this well known pub is only a five minute walk from my place you would have thought that it would be somewhere ive had the pleasure of eating at on many occasions. Shamelessly I will admit that this is not the case. In fact it has been on my to do list for quite sometime and after a rather fun filled afternoon me and a friend decided to wing it for dinner in the hope that there was a free table awaiting us.
Good news - there was.
The staff were more than accommodating, while waiting for a table we ordered the famous scotch egg of theirs to share and a gin cocktail to get the evening under way.
This Waltham Green, gastro pub is slightly different to most you will find around London, simply because it is the only one with a 1 Michelin star behind its belt. Definitely something worth raving about if you ask me BUT, does it food stand up to the exceptional quality which it has been awarded for? I was about to find out.
Starting off with the most incredible soda bread, I just couldn't help my piggy little self and ask for seconds....please take note that this is coming from someone who barely eats bread. THAT GOOD
To follow for the main I made a brave decision to go for the slow cooked lamb shank with vegetables and pearl barely. This Kiwi takes her lamb very seriously and im happy to report that it was up to scratch of that in my home country - falling off the bone and full of flavour with the grainy hint of barley. A nice French red to pair with this and your good to go.
To finish, blood orange donuts with vanilla cream - say what?! Just when I thought I might explode, I took one bite of one of these bad boys and boy oh boy I was not disappointed. In true Steph style I managed to polish off the whole bowl leaving one left for Emma. It didn't stop me eating some of her cheese platter either. Who would have thought that some creamy Swiss cheese would go so well with a simple thing like an oatcake.
Well what a jolly good evening had by all and a totally spontaneous one at that. A very pleasant, down to earth pub with the kind of atmosphere you would expect in most but with a firm focus on quality British comfort foods. Im please to report that I had a right swell of a time and im sure you will too.
Lovely restaurant with a cozy touch on its dishes. Everything looks as fresh as homemade, and my time there was very pleasant. Service is great and the menu is very articulated.
I decided to have some stuffed Cumbrian chicken, which was savoury and delicate at the same time. Very tender indeed. As a dessert, I tried some of their raspberry doughnuts with chocolate.. Impressive !! Enough crunchy and very creamy thanks to the chocolate. I certainly advice going with a couple of friends and have a super meal! Prices are a bit over average, but worth it.
The Harwood Arms is London's only Michelin starred pub so I thought it would be the perfect venue for a birthday lunch for my other half. The pub is beautifully decorated, wooden floors and lots of light. The service here is first class, not in your face & very informative. After some stunning homemade soda bread we moved onto to our starters. I opted for a small stew of roe deer with a butternut squash purée & my other half had crispy pigs meat - basically a meat fish finger, crunchy outside with an almost pulled pork inside. For our main we shared the ribeye of beer roast dinner, which is quite the best roast I have had ever had. A giant wooden board to share was presented, the meat was cooked to perfection & melted in your mouth. The triple cooked potatoes were crunchy & fluffy at the same time, the Yorkshire puddings were filled with delicious braised onions, the spring greens had a hint of garlic butter, the cauliflower cheese was wickedly rich & the salt beef crochettes gave an interesting twist to the plate. My only criticism would be that the gravy could have been a bit thicker! We were so stuffed but made work for a little dessert, I went for buttermilk with oatty biscuits & beer ice cream while my fella had an almost coffee like creme brûlée both were delicious but I have to say were probably the weakest course. The wine list is very extensive & as you can imagine pricey, but there is also a good choice of beers & ales. Overall a fabulous place it's not cheap but it's perfect for a special treat.
This is arguably my favourite pub in London(for food anyway) - I've been here twice now and both times the food, wine and service has been faultless! Don't be put off by the price tag, it's well worth it! They do have a Michelin Star after all!
Amazing British cuisine make sure to book in a few weeks in advance if you want to go on a Saturday evening. Not the cheapest of places but delicious food!
The Harwood Arms dining room is a simple affair, with bare wooden floors and tables without tablecloths (but with high quality napkins), and a few framed black and white photos on the plain walls. The emphasis here is on the food rather than the ambience, and after all this is a pub rather than a formal restaurant. Sister to the well-regarded Pot Kiln (owned by Mike Robinson and Edwin Vaux) in Berkshire, the culinary credentials of the Harwood Arms are impressive. The chef that launched the Harwood was chef Stevie Williams, courtesy of investor Brett Graham of the Ledbury, gaining The Harwood a Michelin star. His last service was lunch on the 20th February 2011, where I enjoyed a superb meal, the highlight of which for me was a dazzling shoulder of venison, slow cooked for five hours, stunningly tender, served with a rich venison jus and horseradish, paired with a delicate rack of venison smoked in hay. Stevie handed over the reins to Barry Fitzgerald, who himself moved on in late 2012. The pub was technically without a head chef on my most recent visit, but with the resources of The Ledbury at their disposal this is not really a problem and will shortly be resolved. The food was of the same high standard, with excellent roe deer and a carefully cooked sea bass main course the highlights, as well as the iconic venison Scotch egg, which The Harwood has made its own. The game in particular at The Harwood is as good as at any restaurant in London.
Prices are refreshingly fair, with starters around £5.50, mains about £14 and desserts £5.50, with vegetables £3.50. The wine list has copious notes on each wine and has stacks of choice under £30, with fair mark-ups. Examples include Marques de Riscal Tempranillo 2006 at £20 for a wine that will cost you about £9 in the shops, Clos de los Siete 2007 at £29 for a wine that retails at around £16, and the classy Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 at £45 for a wine that will set you back around £18. I can remember drinking this wine in the Thelema vineyards near Capetown some years ago when it cost less than £4 locally; those were the days. Of course these days even the rand looks like a robust currency compared with sterling.
Here are brief notes from a recent meal.
A starter of new season pheasant eggs on sourdough toast was enhanced with morels; this was a very pleasing combination, the eggs soft cooked and the morels having good taste (14/20). End of season fallow deer (from the Lockinge estate in Oxfordshire) and cooked in two forms: shoulder was braised and had deep flavour, while a cutlet was grilled and fried in breadcrumbs, served with garlic potatoes, excellent spring greens and a little mushroom ketchup. Apple beignets were made with Bramley apple and were as good as ever, served with spiced sugar and whipped cream. A playful little pre-dessert (this being Easter) was hot cross bun ice cream which, remarkably, tasted very distinctly of hot cross bun. The service was friendly and capable, as usual.
These people giving this place less than 5 stars clearly have no taste. The food here was incredible. We went for the venison scotch egg to start, and I think I could have died happy there and then. But there was more. We shared the onion tart and tomato, which was difficult because neither of us wanted to give up the other half. We then got the deer and beef for mains. Wow. Couldn't fault it. Dessert we managed to squeeze in, and they were even sweet enough to arrange a last-minute Happy Birthday plate, which was greatly appreciated!
We will definitely be back. Probably for the roast!
At the heart of a residential area, The Hardwood Arms has a nice pub vibe. We arrived for a weekday early dinner but couldn’t find a place to sit rather than the bar. One can have a Michelin Starred dinner at the saloon but the bar only serves snacks. Don’t worry: it’s a rather short list but you’ll have one of the best scotch eggs in town. The crips with cod roe are also unmissable.
Wouldn’t recommend arriving without a reservation but it's definitely a great spot to start the night with some snacks and drinks.
Tried the 3 course menu. Overall was a really decent lunch. Onion tart with goat cheese was delicious but really filling. Chips with roe was surprisingly good. The fallow deer was perfect but the cod was slightly overcooked.
Would still highly recommend to come try their lunch course.
Quality of food is there. Though did feel the starter was a little bland flavour wise. Probably more the menu that night.
Did have pre-starter of a veal Scotch egg which definitely hit the spot more than the starters did.
Main was wholesome and importantly came with roast potatoes. Good strong sauces helped the well cooked meats we had. Certainly the best dishes of the night.
Desserts were good but not quite excellent.
Staff good throughout.
Main quibble is the price of wine. Perhaps this is just the expected London markup (even compared to the Edinburgh markup it felt excessive). If it is, then be better London.
BEAUTIFUL! The food was just delicious - probably the best Sunday Roast I have ever had! We had the Cote de Boeuf which was on the specials board and it was most certainly worth the price! The staff and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed and made for a delightful Sunday afternoon! Highly recommend!
What an incredible Sunday lunch. Stunning food and very generous portions. The only thing that let it down was the restaurant was too warm with no aircon / ventilation on an average summers day
I was nervous that the hype wasn’t real (bc Gordon Ramsay food was so trash), but it really was worth the hype!!!
The food was soooo good. I wish we could come back sooner. The roast duck for 2 was perfectly cooked. One of the best roast duck I’ve ever had.
Tip: move your duck to the middle of the plate before you start cutting or you might tip your plate over 😂
Thank you so much for this delicious meal! 😋
One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve eaten in a long while! Delicious food, amazing Bloody Mary and such friendly staff. This place should be on everyone’s hit list for Sunday roasts 😋
Wowowowow. We did the Sunday roast on a bank holiday, and we were blown away.
The Scottish egg is a MUST.
We paid up for the sirloin roast but tbh the pork looked quite good , maybe even better! Certainly bigger! Unless you're really craving steak, go for the pork.
You can opt out of the desserts but we went for them anyway. The blood orange trifle was sublime but we were less thrilled/impressed by the panna cotta.
One of the best restaurant in London due to its relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food.
Either as a couple, friend lunch / dinner or a group the experience will be excellent.
The menu adapts very well to seasons and a particular favourite period is fall with the game based dishes.
OMG what a stunning experience.
The Cote De Boeuf was glorious, the roast dinner as a whole was excellent - no complaints from me, and I love a moan.
Dessert was top notch, service was totally superb and it wasn't mega expensive - I think we paid around £100 each, including drinks and service. For this quality - it really, really was worth it.
Hope I get to eat there again one time!
Food is really excellent with the vegetables being the highlight of the main for me in an already really good meal. The beignets were such a treat - I wish there were more, I’d happily have a bowl of that an no panna cotta.
The bread was also so tasty - again wish we were offered more.
A good dining experience in a laidback setting.
Astonishing. This is my best friends favourite place in london and now I see why. This is the only Michelin star pub and now I see why. We had the venison scotch eggs, potato chips and seasonal veg salad to start. All were filling light and bursts of flavour. We both had the deer and there are simply no words for how stunning it was. Beautifully cooked, light and hearty at the same time. I didn’t love the veg that complimented the deer but the flavours did work well. This will become a staple for celebratory dinners in the future. Staff were amazing and actually knew the menu and could comment on so much. Beautiful interiors too. What a special place. Seriously.
Believe the hype, the Sunday roast here is something special. £65 a head is fine for a Michelin Star meal & you will not leave hungry.
First up we shared the venison scotch egg served with a red wine, mustard & sugar sauce. Perfectly gooey egg, crispy outside & moist mince with an amazing dipping sauce. Worth every penny of the £8.
Our starts of muntjac pate en croute & warm pumpkin tart were both beyond expectation. The pate was strong without being overpowering with apricot & walnuts dotted through it & the cider jelly with mustard fruits really added to this. The pumpkin tart felt like eating a moist, savoury cake with Quicke’s cheddar on top adding a very strong, nutty flavour. Adding to this was the mushroom purée too. The pasty was thin & cooked perfectly.
Our main of fallow deer shoulder was just easily the best roast I’ve ever had. Check the pictures, I don’t know if I can explain just how good this was with all the trimmings. The bacon added to the richness of the deer & the honey really livened up the meat further. Perfect yorkies, crispy potatoes, hay roasted carrots, silky gravy, broccolini & a creamy cauliflower cheese all were done so well. A pot of horseradish cream really went with the whole dish too.
Desserts were incredible but still the “worst” part of a sensational meal. A peach flan & the special is what we had & loved. Both were unique & not overly sweet.
Special mention to Tom who looked after us on the day. Lovely to chat to & wasn’t overbearing. Also was not subservient; I hate going to good restaurants & having staff treat me like I am above them (which some are trained to do).
Venue is a cozy old pub with big windows which is well decorated with loads of animal pelts, old tankards & well looked after.
Exceptional service but unfortunately the food did not live up to a 5 star rating that I would have expected from a Michelin starred pub with a set Sunday Roast menu costing £65.
The menu is great for a “special” Sunday roast but I have had better roasts for much less. Granted, the £65 includes a starter and dessert which were both delicious, especially the mandarin trifle and upside down pineapple cake.
The beef sirloin (supplement £7.50) was fine, the deer was slightly tough but nicely glazed.
Still an enjoyable meal and would recommend for diners looking for a fancier style roast.
