Harden's says
Chef du jour Tom Straker opened this casual deli and restaurant a few doors from his Notting Hill flagship, Straker’s, in summer 2025, hinting that it could be the first of several across London offering simple, seasonal dishes. Having found Instagram fame during lockdown, he is very much in expansive mode, with an opening in NYC the next big target. Thomas Straker (who grew up on a smallholding in Herefordshire) originally had stints at Elystan Street and Casa Cruz on his CV and – after a stint at Carousel refining his menu – was orginally due to launch his first Acre in Queens Park in the second half of 2021.

Summary
Thomas Straker (who grew up on a smallholding in Herefordshire) has stints at Elystan Street and Casa Cruz on his CV and – after a residency at Carousel refining his menu – is set to launch this Queen’s Park newcomer in the last quarter of 2021. Produce from Britain and inspiration from the Mediterranean are the guiding principles for cooking – from an open kitchen and with much of it wood-fired – that’s ‘more simple than fine dining’.
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).
