Lunch at Harwood Arms

on 16 Jan 2020

by Gerhard Huber

This place is on no foodie's list of places-to-go. But it should be. A former pub converted into a Gastro pub it serves honest food at excellent prices. And it has special gems which one should not miss.

Game is definitely one of the strong points here as they get supplied on a weekly basis from the owner with whatever he shot.
The Venison Scotch egg has redefined the way this dish was presented. It comes with a liquid core wrapped in thinly cut venison and an outer layer which is crispy and... More

The Venison Scotch egg has redefined the way this dish was presented. It comes with a liquid core wrapped in thinly cut venison and an outer layer which is crispy and double fried.
The Venison Wellington is a piece of art. There are three layers, two pancakes and one spinach layer, to protect the outer puff pastry from getting soggy from the juices of the venison. It creates a beautiful dish which also tastes wonderfully. It has to be pre-ordered but I tell you it is worth the effort. Less

Dinner at Harwood Arms

on 24 Jan 2017

by Kristian Mortensen

I had my family at the Harwood arms, and invited the extended London family for a dinner here as well. No problem with the kids, we were in the more informal part – the pub and it was greate. Once again, very good food, focus on game and I had a scotch egg and some fish. I have still to understand the scotch egg, I like the idea of it, but when I eat it I get disappointed.
Again – this restaurant is a bit out of the way, it looks like a pub, and it is, just with a very high level of food (it... More

Again – this restaurant is a bit out of the way, it looks like a pub, and it is, just with a very high level of food (it got a Michelin star) and good beer and wine. Worth the visit if you can get a table.
I eat there the day before and game again some years after. Will go again.

Dinner at Harwood Arms

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... More

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.

Meal at The Harwood Arms

on 31 Dec 2013

by Richard Bagnold

Slightly pushed the boat out on this occasion as it was a decent way to do something good on New Year’s Eve during the day and then get out of London Central before being over-loaded with tourists and general New Year congestion. All the dishes were fantastic – the meats were sublimely tender, the salads were gently glazed with powerful dressings and were therefore saved from being boring and the vegetables were perfect, most notably the roast potatoes. They even had a bottle of Château... More

Slightly pushed the boat out on this occasion as it was a decent way to do something good on New Year’s Eve during the day and then get out of London Central before being over-loaded with tourists and general New Year congestion. All the dishes were fantastic – the meats were sublimely tender, the salads were gently glazed with powerful dressings and were therefore saved from being boring and the vegetables were perfect, most notably the roast potatoes. They even had a bottle of Château d’Yquem for an amazing £120 so clearly that was done to go with dessert and was a lovely thing to have to finish. Another thumbs up meal here making one very happy when leaving.
