Harwood Arms is a gastro-pub. It’s situated in a quiet (and a bit boring) part of the London called Walham Green. There is a lot of city-houses around the pub, and not much else.
From the outside it looks like a pub, and from the inside it looks like a pub. But it’s a Michelin star rewarded restaurant. I ate there two days in a row in January of 2014. First time after conducting a conference in the London office with people from all of Europe and from most of the London office. And it was very good. Like excellent good. They focus on British produce with focus on wild and game. When you say the British kitchen, you get a negative connotation, mostly pale food. But not at the Harwoord Arms, it meat, potatoes and greens. But made appetizing.
The menu that day made me get a couple of pints rather then wine.
I ate there the following day with a smaller group, I think we were lucky to be able to be so many people there, since I tried a number of times to come back, only succeeding some years after.
Will come back, informal but high regarded food, ideal pub experience.
