The team behind the Harwood arms are head chef Sally Abé, Mike Robinson from the Pot Kiln pub in Berkshire and Edwin Vaux from the Vaux brewery. Together their impressive credentials have formed a perfect whole - a gastropub that actually serves what the name suggests, excellent food in a low-key pub setting.

"In general, gastropub food looks like what you get at my kitchen table. These artfully (if artfully-artlessly) arranged mini-boards would be too poncey for me to put down in front of friends at home. People would laugh. Delicious, but work-intensive. So, bing! Michelin star. " READ REVIEW

"This was an utterly satisfying lunch in coolly appealing surroundings: a menu that's full of things you long to eat; cooking that perfectly balances the wholesome with the excitingly full-flavoured; a low-key atmosphere that throws into relief the charm and attentiveness of the waiting staff."

"With a couple of minor quibbles (a 35-minute wait for two uncomplicated starters was a bit daft), this restaurant - presided over by a seriously talented young chef, Stephen Williams, brought in from the Ledbury but with top gastropub experience at the Anchor & Hope and the Sutton Arms - is a triumph, with a strong zeitgeisty feel."
