The Harwood Arms (Fulham)

• The Harwood Arms dining room is a simple affair
• With bare wooden floors and tables without tablecloths (but with high quality napkins)
• The emphasis here is on the food rather than the ambience
• After all this is a pub rather than a formal restaurant
• The culinary credentials of the Harwood Arms are impressive
• The chef that launched the Harwood was chef Stevie Williams
• His last service was lunch on the 20th February 2011
• The highlight of which for me was a dazzling shoulder of venison
• With the resources of The Ledbury at their disposal this is not really a problem and will shortly be resolved
• The game in particular at The Harwood is as good as at any restaurant in London
• A starter of new season pheasant eggs on sourdough toast was enhanced with morels
• While a cutlet was grilled and fried in breadcrumbs
• Apple beignets were made with Bramley apple and were as good as ever
• A playful little pre dessert (this being Easter) was hot cross bun ice cream which
• The service was friendly and capable
• The Harwood Arms is London's only Michelin starred pub so I thought it would be the perfect venue for a birthday lunch for my other half
• The service here is first class
• I opted for a small stew of roe deer with a butternut squash puré
• Crunchy outside with an almost pulled pork inside
• Is quite the best roast I have had ever had
• The triple cooked potatoes were crunchy &
• The Yorkshire puddings were filled with delicious braised onions
• The cauliflower cheese was wickedly rich &
• I went for buttermilk with oatty biscuits &
• E both were delicious but I have to say were probably the weakest course
• The wine list is very extensive &
• Lovely restaurant with a cozy touch on its dishes
• My time there was very pleasant
• Service is great and the menu is very articulated
• I certainly advice going with a couple of friends and have a super meal
• Considering this well known pub is only a five minute walk from my place you would have thought that it would be somewhere ive had the pleasure of eating at on many occasions
• Shamelessly I will admit that this is not the case
• In fact it has been on my to do list for quite sometime and after a rather fun filled afternoon me and a friend decided to wing it for dinner in the hope that there was a free table awaiting us
• Gastro pub is slightly different to most you will find around London
• Simply because it is the only one with a 1 Michelin star behind its belt
• Starting off with the most incredible soda bread
• Please take note that this is coming from someone who barely eats bread
• To follow for the main I made a brave decision to go for the slow cooked lamb shank with vegetables and pearl barely
• This Kiwi takes her lamb very seriously and im happy to report that it was up to scratch of that in my home country falling off the bone and full of flavour with the grainy hint of barley
• A nice French red to pair with this and your good to go
• Blood orange donuts with vanilla cream say what
• I took one bite of one of these bad boys and boy oh boy I was not disappointed
• Who would have thought that some creamy Swiss cheese would go so well with a simple thing like an oatcake
• Down to earth pub with the kind of atmosphere you would expect in most but with a firm focus on quality British comfort foods
• Main course was heavenly and service was excellent
• Australian owner Brett Graham took what was a standard pub and gave it a makeover
• Infusing his skills and style into the menu while keeping the venue what it was at its heart a pub
• The result is excellent quality
• No nonsense food the game and scotch egg are highlights with a focused selection of drinks
• Treacle cured smoked salmon with pickled apple
• Wood pigeon faggots with celeriac and pickled mushrooms £
• Stuffed leg of Cumbrian chicken with creamed potato
• Dessert we enjoyed Earl Grey tart with jersey milk ice cream £
• 8.50 and treacle ice cream with stout and pear £
• M up this morning with an ugly hangover
• D spent the evening with far too much Laurent Perrier and not nearly enough carbs
• The interior was interesting for a one Michelin star restaurant &ndash
• Dark pub like interior contrasts heavily with the usual sort of restaurants that set their eyes on the Michelin guide
• The Harwood Arms is known for serving one of the best roasts in London and even though I am not a roast expert
• Their meat was delicious and so were all the trimmings such as roasted potatoes and yorkshire pudding
• I opted to go with the three course set menu option for £
• The Harwood Arms serves food that really pushes the boundary in terms of what is expected of pub food offerings
• It provides a lovely place to while away the weekend hours with friends over good food and wine which is
• You would have never guessed that this is a Michelin star gastropub
• I had the crispy sweetbreads with a ham and cheese croquette
• Note that sweet breads are not breads but are an organ from the thymus gland and pancreas
• The little nuggets of sweetbread had great crispy textures but were soft and tender inside
• The ham and cheese croquette was a thin stick so I felt it was a bit lacking given the size
• Unfortunately both criterias were not met and I was fairly disappointed
• Dessert was a big tick with the special of the day
• A simple custard with vanilla ice cream
• The custard was to die for and there were crunchy biscuit bits that added to the texture
• Strangely I thought it was Italian based
• I wouldn't consider myself a frequenter of pubs but I had to make an exception for the Harwood Arms London's only pub with a Michelin star
• Harwood Arms is the only Michelin starred pub in London and you can expect very high quality food
• You must try the barbequed beetroot starter with goats cheese
• Service was friendly even though with a slight "
• Prices for the set menus are very decent and considering the food quality it is a bargain
• Also loved the doughnuts with lemon curd
• The place came highly recommended by The Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten and she is one of my gods of food
• S all the way in Fulham if you are staying closer to other more central areas in London
• I had often heard this being hurled around with some abandonment
• Interesting episodes could follow as when a dish was summarily deposited on the floor as part of a particular vehement tirade by the head chef to apprentice
