Owner's description
The Glasshouse is owned by Nigel Platts-Martin and Bruce Poole, the team behind acclaimed London restaurants Chez Bruce and La Trompette.
The Glasshouse opened for business in 1999, gained a Michelin star in 2002 and has maintained an outstanding reputation for food, wine and customer care ever since. Despite some fairly lofty industry awards over the years, we have always enjoyed our rooted position as a neighbourhood and local restaurant. We strive therefore, to provide the very best food and service within a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.
The dining room is overseen by the highly experienced and welcoming Kern Gohre, a true hospitality professional. Kern and his team take great pride in doing their very utmost to give all our guests a top class and memorable dining experience.

Harden's survey result
Summary
“A superb restaurant close to Kew Gardens station” – this “consistently excellent” neighbourhood spot enjoys a disproportionately large fanclub thanks to its “subtly flavoured” modern cuisine; its “extensive and good-value wine list”; its “sweet and attentive” service; and the “light and airy” style of the relatively “small” dining room. Although ratings are not quite as stellar as they were a few years ago, they remain eminently respectable. Perhaps it's suffering from its fine provenance: “viewed on it’s own merits, it’s an extremely good restaurant, just not quite as good as its sibling La Trompette (and the slightly further away Chez Bruce)”.
For 34 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).
