The Harwood Arms in Hammersmith and Fulham

We enjoyed a very special evening at the Harwood Arms … well worth the journey from Trafalgar Square …an amazing intimate pub, lovely interior, delicious food, great wines by the glass, talented knowledgeable service … and a very much enjoyed dessert created for us to celebrate our anniversary together. I would highly recommend this dining experience … I can’t wait to return to London again to go back to the Harwood Arms. Bravo … well done indeed.

Very impressive. Overall excellent. Best Sunday roast we have had.

This is the best Sunday roast in London, by far.

I wasn’t terribly impressed with the food. Tried over hard on the presentation but the food itself wasn’t anything to write home about, and bordering on cold. Both my wife and I found the sauces on (different) mains very vinegary. So many great value, excellent food choices in London this was an expensive ordinary one and I doubt I would return.

Our service was exemplar and because I’m a return guest from the US, they decided to include an additional course that we “had” to try. Kudos to the consistent superior quality of food and service.

This was our second visit to Harwood Arms. Last year was in June, this time in October. Whilst the menu was quite different on our second visit--time of year of course, it was just as fabulous as the first. The wild game two or three course set menus were both wonderful. The service was fantastic, very helpful and pleasant. Ambience while gastropub, gives the feel of a hunting lodge. Fantastic experience again!! A word to the wise, however. This is very much a neighborhood place and is therefore not easily accessible via the London Underground. If you are visiting from out of town and do not have your own vehicle we recommend that you pre-order a car service for arrival and departure (dining time will be about 1.5 to 2.0 hours depending on whether you have the two course or the three course set menu with a "snack" (the venison scotch egg is a must have snack). Uber/Lyft is unreliable here as Waltham Grove is only two to three blocks long and Black Cabs are also unreliable on busy weekend nights. Regardless, we highly recommend this dining experience--we will be back a third time next year when we return to London in October.

Beef short rib and venison scotch egg are must-haves. Service charge only 8% which was surprising!

Phenomenal food! Best lamb chops Ive had. Very attentive staff. Wine perfect.

Service was very slow to start (was left standing at the host stand for five minutes before anyone acknowledged), and then left sitting at the table for 15 minutes trying to make eye contact with someone to order a drink while waiting for the rest of the party to arrive. Service picked up and was good through the rest of the meal and food is always excellent! Thank you!

Absolutely delicious. The perfect combination of cozy pub vibes and brilliant food. Went for a birthday dinner and would come back any time! The vegetarian options were amazing.

Always exceptional who can argue with Michelin Star food and a 4-2 win!

Best roast I have had- would highly recommend the Harwood Arms!

Wow fantastic. Great food and the staff were lovely. Thank you

Choose from a 2 or 3 course menu (starter, main, pudding) and choose one of 4 options for each course. Each is beautifully plated and delightfully tasty. We enjoyed every bite, and would love to go back again!

walked in at lunch w/o reservations and sat at the bar. wonderful attentive staff. simple but very adequate by the glass list. the food was great. mains are the star.

The finest pub in the world with incredible service.

At first I was a little concerned as the menu is small and a fixed price. BUT THE FOOD WAS CREATIVELY DISPLAYED AND AMAZING!

Great meal and service from the Harwood Arms Team!

What a nice experience we had at the Hardwood Arms, the Michelin star is for sure still well deserved! ⭐️ The restaurant is still a pub at heart so you can feel this welcoming and almost nostalgic atmosphere - but what’s truly interesting is how the food is refined yet stays true to the satisfaction you feel after eating at a pub. Each dishes we tried was thoughtfully balanced with different textures and taste, the chef really succeeded to still showcase the main ingredients through simplicity. We came there to celebrate a birthday and the staff were super nice, ensuring that we had a personalized experience for that occasion with a special note and dessert - much appreciated! 😊

Favorite place. An ambience, service and food are excellent.

Fun, delicious dinner. My wife and I wanted to get out of the Hyde Park tourist area so we hopped on the train and made our way The Haywood Arms after reading their reviews. They had a fabulous wine selection and our dinner was great. Definitely try the Deer! It comes from their private preserve.

We had an anniversary dinner here a couple of years ago, and they made everything so special. It was such an amazing experience!

I’d sum the whole experience up as “average”. Much nicer atmosphere and service at the Atlas around the corner. For £55 for two courses you’d expect something fairly special but it’s average average average. And if you’re going to charge £40 corkage (!!!) you should have a decent enough wine list. Which sadly is not the case here. Average again. I’d heard amazing things about the Harwood Arms a few years ago so perhaps they’ve been resting on their laurels a bit, but some kind of refresh is definitely needed.

Long day touring London followed by a meal at Harwood Arms was the perfect way to spend the first night of our trip in London. Staff was hospitable and friendly. Roast for two was a generous offering. My wife thought she’d be ordering dessert and the server joked that most people tap out after opting for the Sunday roast. Loved this meal and would love to return in the future.

Great service and the food was excellent Recommendations include the venison scotch egg Soda bread Rabbit lasagne Venison main course Staff very attentive and helpful with wine and choosing food. It’s very ‘informal’ but very well done

This was our first time at the Harwood Arms and I had been trying to get a reservation for months with no success. On arrival there were plenty of empty tables so not sure why is so difficult to get in! The waiter took us over to our table and while we stood there another lady was cleaning it as the table next to it, had dropped a glass of red wine all over our table and the floor. I looked at the waiter and politely asked if we could sit at the other table next to it as this was empty and he just replied No! I found this response very rude. We eventually sat down at our table and they brought the menus - service was very slow and we had to call them over to order our drinks. We finally got our drinks and my husband was wearing a cream shirt and when he leaned into the table because the red white was not cleared up properly he got red white all on this shirt. This evening was not going to plan at all! I got up and went over to the manger to complain and explained all the details of the event and I did not want the customers next to me to know what had happened as they were having an anniversary meal and did not want the lady to feel bad about it all. The manager apologised what had happened and agreed we should of been put on another table while they cleaned this red wine up when we arrived, I sat back down and the manager came over to my husband, spoke loudly so the lady heard every thing and handed him his business card and told me that if I could get the red wine out then he would pay for the dry cleaning. The couple next to us heard every thing and she was extremely uncomfortable to the fact she left her husband in the pub to pay the bill and left. I have taken pictures of the meal and in my option the food is average, overpriced and not meeting Michelin standards anymore. The starter was heavy and this is not a pate but more like a kind of pork pie. The pub is run down, shabby, the service is terrible and the meal is all over priced. We were not even offered any thing as compensation for the shirt which was expensive and i had to soak it in cold water for days and buy stain products to get it all out. He should of at least took my husband drink off the bill. The manger should of taken our details and treated us better in the pub and call us to see if I managed to get the stains out of this shirt. This should of been handled a lot better by the manager. I am shocked this pub has a Michelin star as there are better pubs out there in London This was my first experience of this pub and definitely my last!

My wife and I had dinner here on our visit to London. We had a wonderful dinner with wine from their extensive wine list. The presentation was very nice, the food excellent and the pub setting added to the atmosphere. The staff was also excellent. I would gladly recommend a visit.

Harwood Arms Pub: A Memorable Celebration Dinner I recently had the pleasure of celebrating a special occasion at The Harwood Arms, and it was nothing short of spectacular. As the only Michelin-starred pub in London, my expectations were high, and they delivered on every level. Nestled in Fulham, The Harwood Arms combines the warmth and charm of a traditional English pub with the elegance of fine dining. The interior felt welcoming and cozy, with rustic wooden beams and soft lighting creating an intimate yet relaxed atmosphere. It was the perfect blend of casual comfort and refined style for a celebration. Food: The highlight, of course, was the food. Known for their focus on British seasonal ingredients, especially game, The Harwood Arms delivered a dining experience that was both creative and deeply satisfying. Starters: I started with the Tartare of Chalk Stream Trout Cucumber, Horseradish and Seaweed Main Course: For the main, I chose Roast Skate Wing Hispi Cabbage, Potted Shrimp & Mussels Drinks: The wine list was extensive, featuring a wide selection of wines from both local vineyards and international producers. For those less inclined towards wine, they also offer a great range of craft beers and classic cocktails. The Harwood Arms is an ideal place for a celebration dinner. The atmosphere is inviting, the service impeccable, and the food is simply outstanding. Whether you're a fan of game or just enjoy expertly prepared seasonal British cuisine, this pub offers a dining experience that rivals many fine dining restaurants. It was a memorable evening, and I’ll undoubtedly be back for another special occasion.

The starter was the highlight of the menu, the main course was good.

Local pub vibes from the outside with a glam touch in the inside. As you arrive to The Hardwood Arms it does look like the typical residential pub, however, fear not, once you walk in you instantly realize you are in for a treat. From the service, to the decor, and of course the food (the food!). The menu is set for a two course (£55) or a three course (£70). It includes filtered water and bread with butter. There is also nibbles you can add on for a £8-£9 each. We are not very big on dessert so went for the 2 course plus nibbles. The concept is English food elevated and it will not disappoint you! Definitely recommended, specially if you are after a “different” Michelin experience.

This not a Michelin star restaurant!!! We have been to many and this is definitely the worst one I have ever encountered in my life. The service is appalling, food mediocre and not worth wasting your money. With so much choice in London do not waste your time going here!

Fabulous food. The very best roast dinner I’ve ever had in a restaurant anywhere. I’m from Yorkshire, living in London since ‘87 so I’ve tried a fair few. The service was excellent. Attentive, but we didn’t feel rushed. I’ve never been a fan of background music, but the low level Fleetwood Mac won me over. The tables weren’t packed together and there was air con which was extremely helpful because it was 28 degrees outside. Obviously in that climate I didn’t notice if there was a fire, but if there is, we are back for more in Autumn if we can get in !

Actually went here on a London trip before covid….. We just came across it one Sunday late afternoon and though heaving a place was available. We still race about the food (Sunday Roast) and going back as mrs loves a sunday roast. Will go back when staying West London.

We were fortunate enough to visit on Sunday for the Sunday Roast (we had the special: Fallow deer) and everything blew us away. London has no shortage of pubs that offer incredible Sunday roasts, but the Harwood Arms is in its own stratosphere. The rabbit lasagna and that yorkshire pudding was to DIE FOR, we're still thinking about it! Thank you so much for an amazing lunch, and for kindly allowing us to bring our senior mini doxies. Can't wait to visit again soon X

Tyler went above and beyond: friendly and gave me extra venison; top man

Great place - cultural experience for teg scots eggs (first time for us), excellent meat (deer) and great / optimal wine list!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Harwood Arms. Beautiful food in a lovely setting with exceptional staff who were welcoming & knowledgeable.

I ate the fish dishes and they were both delicious!

The Harwood Arms never disappoints - it is a true gem. Delicious food in a fabulous pub.

One of the best of London - everything was fantastic!

Rightfully stands as the only Michelin starred pub in London. Such a delicious Sunday Roast, but so difficult to get a booking!

Amazing food with great service

Very, very lovely food and super friendly and attentive staff.

Still thinking of that Sunday Roast. A dream! Dogs welcome, what is always a great plus for us.

Epic and delicious Sunday lunch which left all of us in a food coma. Super dog friendly and accommodated six of us with our two dogs in a quiet corner of the pub with a bowl of water and venison treats. It all went down like a treat! Thank you!

Highly recommend for a Sunday Roast. Delicious food. Fantastic service. Perfectly rustic ambiance. Easily accessible from Central London via Underground. Would definitely go back.

An outstanding meal. The Venison scotch egg appetizer was outstanding, but so were the rabbit lasagne and trout tartare starters, and the pork, skate, and beef mains were wonderful too. Also an interesting and diverse wine list at reasonable prices. We will definitely be back - thank you!

Super! But slightly pricey for what I've got . Still very happy with the experience

A great gastro pub whcih elevates traditional British pub dishes to yet another level of sophistication! Great service!

Really loved it. It was my birthday and they had little surprises for me, which was unexpected but appreciated.

I dined here on Sunday, August 11 with two relatives from America. I live in France, so that my standards for food are relatively high. I thought that the food at the Harwood Arms was absolutely outstanding. We all had deer meat cooked slowly, and it was truly succulent, along with the various side dishes, such as cauliflower in cheese sauce, carrots, potatoes, etc. Our desserts were also outstanding and relatively original, at least for me. As it was a summer day in mid-August, the restaurant was probably a bit short-handed, and it took us some time to be served our desserts. I was both pleased and surprised that the waiter then gave them to us for free--which you do not find everywhere, in my experience. My only (mini) complaint is that there was a bit too much noise coming from a table nearby, with six young men celebrating a birthday a bit too noisily. But all in all, it was a wonderful experience, and the quality of the food certainly compares with top places where I have eaten in France, which Michelin has wisely recognized.

Great experience as well with great food and service. A slightly larger glass/half bottle wine menu would be appreciated but otherwise hard to think of how to improve!

Michelin-starred restaurant on the outskirts of London. Excellent dishes, especially the mains. Applause for the special dessert of that day (date custard tart with orange & earl gray ice-cream).

We loved our visit to The Harwood Arms. We chose the 2 course and snacks. The food was absolutely delicious. We live in Australia, but when in London again, we will come back!

Roast was disappointing. Starters were poor. Staff were friendly but nothing to be excited about.

This is a nice pub. But for a kitchen that claims that “sustainability” is one of its core underlying values it’s puzzling that there is next to nothing on offer for vegetarians not to mention vegans.

Everything in the menu is amazing. Fine dining in a pub setting. Seasonal products and the menu changes regularly. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.Wonderful place

I took my American friends for dinner here and consequently they don’t understand the rumour that English food is bad. Well done and thank you for another delicious dinner.

Easily the best gastropub in London.

Fantastic food, with wonderful seasonal and well sourced ingredients. An extensive wine and cocktail list. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, and the service is excellent. It was a little quiet on a Monday night, as to be expected, but the atmosphere was lovely.

One star for the scotch egg, but that's where the compliment ends unfortunately. Lasagne was drowning in sauce, beef was too salty and dessert was underwhelming. Service was unfriendly, no apology when water was spilled. Sat in a corner where dirty dishes are being put away behind a divider. How is this place one Michelin star?!

We really enjoyed the food and service.. wonderful wild game. 

As with the Roman Empire, all great dynasties eventually fall foul of their own success. It very clear that The Harwood Arms has fallen below the honour of 1 Michelin-star, which isn’t to diminish what was once a very good establishment. I think they should count their lucky stars that the MICHELIN Guide wasn’t attending this past Friday 3rd May 2024. I would even go as far to hypothesize that The Harwood Arms must have a very good relationship with the MICHELIN Guide, or someone is taking bribes, there is no way any saine reviewer would award this venue 1 Star in the current state that it operates. The food isn’t terrible and would be unfair to miss lead the reader in this regard, however, the Roast Skate Wing that was served was over cooked and dry and if the fish were alive today, I’m sure he or she would be ashamed to have been eaten in that state, we can only place this down to poor quality management from the kitchen. Now for the positive, Sirloin of Belted Galloway was to the standard of 1 Michelin-star in food quality, however, this leads this reviewer to question that the only thing this venue can cook to perfection is anything meat related, which isn’t surprising given its reputation was built upon this, I refer of course to their infamous Sunday roasts. I welcome to challenge from Head Chef Josh Cutress and his team to push the envelope and try something new and not rest on the good name that this establishment has garnered over the years, this responsibly also falls on Director Brett Graham and his name that he proudly puts against this venue and the team he has assembled. As for the service, to say it was average would be fair, nothing of exceptional quality, and no offer of an apology and or acknowledgement when present with polite reference to the poor food, no discount and or Skate offered off the bill. I wish The Harwood Arms all the best in what I hope isn’t the dying embers of a once great establishment, lets hope for now, this was a once off. I welcome an invite back to be proven wrong from Josh and his team anytime.

We had a very relaxing meal at the Hardwood to celebrate my 65th birthday. The food really is superb and I can't fault it. We had rabbit and trout starters, both had the deer for main followed by Pimms trifle and salted caramel tart. We started with a couple of cocktails (both very good) and then wine by the glass - Vino Verde with the trout, chenin blanc with the rabbit and red Bordeaux with the deer. Puds were accompanied by muscat and sherry. We followed the wine recommendations suggested by our server and each worked very well with the food. The traditional pub style setting works with the grandiose food on offer and makes for an unpretentious night out. Service is on point and the different courses are described without any unnecessary waffle that you sometimes get. Yes, it's an expensive night out, drinks especially so, but we still thought it was worth what we paid. Some nice little touches too for my birthday which were much appreciated.

A very good overall experience at the Harwood Arms. We look forward to returning in the future.

What an amazing experience. Never disappoints. The food is exquisite as it has always been, full of game meats such as rabbit and dear. The restaurant was also very particular in catering for my vegan daughter. They had a full end to end vegan menu where they were able to explain the provenance of the ingredients. It's very impressive, and we'll be back in 2025.

Great service and food! And dog friendly 🐶

Everything eccellent, great kindness very nice and cosy place

My wife and I visited recently for our anniversary. Tyler and the team really looked after us and made it a special evening. Look forward to returning

A quaint, thoughtfully decorated restaurant with a warm, welcoming staff. Every bite of food was superb, filling and I would eat it all again. Every detail of the restaurant was intentional, down to the custom leather utensil holders. Would highly recommend to anyone (especially meat lovers).

A good place to eat but prices are a tad too high and the service is so so. There are many better 1 star Michelin restaurants with better food.

Yummy, especially the dessert 🍨

Not sure what makes this a gastropub and not a restaurant. When I was there, at any rate, everyone was allocated a seat and it was table service only. No one standing, no bar service. There is good draft beer at pub prices. But there it stops. The food was great, with an interesting menu. There's an excellent choice of wines. The service was efficient and the staff well-informed. The price – well, that's another story. Don't expect a full meal with drinks for under £100 per person. For me it was a wonderful experience, which I don't regret. Just make sure your bank account is healthy before going there.

Rohan was our server and he was a total prince. Excellent service and extraordinary food! I can easily say this might have been the best meal of my life. The Yorkshire pudding was so yummy and we had a wonderful time.

Very nice meal, the front room staff were very attending. We will definitely return.

First time eating at Harwood Arms it won’t be the last time. Food lovely and service was very good.

Quite simply put- this is our new favourite restaurant. Great service, exquisite food and our dog was treated like he was part of the experience. Thank you so much. We had a wonderful Wedding Anniversary.

Dinner for 2. The service was timely and discreet. We each enjoyed 3 delicious courses (trout and rabbit starters, beef and Iberian pork main courses then the milk flan and the "special" for pudding) for a set price of £70 which we thought was excellent value for the quality of the cuisine. It was an extremely good evening.

This is exactly what I needed in a Sunday Roast. A great restaurant by any measure. This was also some of the best service that I received from any restaurant in London. Brian was a delight of a server. I would say the Scotch egg and the Sunday Roast are must trys.

This was our third time at Hardwood Arms…and all I have to say is that every time is like the first. They are beyond impressive with the food, staff, and overall atmosphere. We were welcomed by the staff so warmly, and we immediately remembered our waiter from last year, Brian. He is truly impeccable and carried us through the meal with such knowledge and fun conversation. His recommendations exceed expectations! Now the food, I truly don’t know how they do it. They manage to serve the most delicious, flavorful, unique dishes while maintaining the English root and charming pub atmosphere. We always recommend this restaurant when family and friends visit London, as it truly is one of our favorite spots. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was perfect - I strongly recommend the place!

One of our favorite destinations in London. Always assume it’s further out than expected. But as our kids explain to the servers we’re there at least once a year. The Yankees that keep coming back.

The staff are very attentive and polite,The food was excellent and great service in an attractive setting. Highly recommended

The Pork special was unbelievable- Cheesy Cauliflower was a fave!

This was a fabulous experience. The only pub with a Michelin star and it did not disappoint. We went on a Sunday to try yhe roast for my dad's birthday. They had a card ready for him which I thought was a lovely touch. I had the fallow deer wrapped in bacon and my friend and dad had the sirloin beef roast. The roast was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed everything and there was so much I couldn't even finish my plate despite not wanting to waste anything. The only let down was the horseradish cream as it wasn't very strong but I can understand that not everyone likes strong horseradish. For dessert my father had the salted caramel cheesecake which was on the specials board and my friend and I had the cheese. My father's dessert was scrumptious. The cheese was underwhelming as it was only one piece of not very flavoursome cheese and some crackers with a little yummy sauce. Overall, we all really enjoyed our food and we all want to come again for another treat.

Pub atmosphere but loud babies and multiple dogs allowed to eat while on the owners laps. Food was good but serious value concerns for price.

This place is a gem. Really great good, modern English with surprisingly delicious desserts! Hospitality is warm and friendly, atmosphere of English pub is classic, making me feel right at home.

The Harwood Arms came highly recommended and the food is fantastic, cannot fault it. This was my first visit and it will not be my last.

Excellent and unique food. Bright and attentive service. Great selection of drinks. Very handsome pub with great ambiance.

Absolutely fantastic. The staff are exceptional. The food is even better. The roast potatoes are to die for. We came without a reservation and they squeezed us in. Could not be more impressed.

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, great food, will definitely be back

Was far from your normal pub food! Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned and service was outstanding, well worth the trip from Australia

It’s splendid. Such high quality service, remarkable food, beautiful dining room, and great drinks (best Bloody Mary in London?). My ONLY objection is that the wine list is limited on Bordeaux and really quite expensive. Other regions seemed to have much more approachable price points, but I think the inexpensive Bordeaux were still north of 80 quid, and were super young. We loved the wine we drank very much (an 06 and a 16), and frankly were ok to pay the price given the quality, but I think a diligent review of cheaper, older Bordeaux would add a really lovely extra appeal! An opinion shared, incidentally, by my chum who was dining with us and is a Master of Wine.

We had a lovely Friday lunch here, and it didn’t start to get busy until after 1. The mains were our favourites (beef short rib and pork) and the Pimms Trifle was a must have. To call this place a pub is an understatement, it’s fine dining in a pub shell. Well worth a stop.

Brilliant service, and lovely food, thank you we had a great time

Cosy pub, excellent Sunday roast, and delicious desserts.

The food was of a very high quality. The menu is limited especially if you don't eat red meat. The service was friendly, our dessert took a while to arrive but was excellent. The wine selection is good though a bit pricey. The ambience is friendly and unpretentious

Went to this beautiful restaurant with some local friends and fellow travelers. The decoration inside was beautiful and the ambiance was relaxed and friendly. There was even a doggo at the table next to us. I love places that serve Michelin food but are still neighborhood favorites. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. They serve a fair amount of wine, but perhaps because it's a pub, the sophisticated dishes go well with beer. Reservations are required. I will come again next year.

Excellent food, well presented and balanced. The menu was inspiring, the service attentive without being intrusive and the ambience is very relaxed welcoming. Good value for money.
