Harden's survey result
Summary
“Really great food at reasonable prices – and the staff seem to really care”: no wonder Wimbledon locals are happy that this modern British restaurant with rear conservatory provides “somewhere decent to eat in the Village”. Its sibling the Light House shut up shop in early 2025, so this is now the only remaining ‘Light’ shining in SW19.
Summary
“After extensive renovations, it’s finally reopened… it was worth the wait!” – this “great local” in Wimbledon (inevitably not quite on the Common – a sibling to the Light House) has “reopened after a makeover” complete with an attractive, light-filled rear conservatory. The “delicious” modern cooking is “simple and fresh” – “it’s perfect for a night out with friends or family”.
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).
