Certainly one of the finest restaurants in the world, Core manages to pull off a rare feat; to be so amazingly cutting edge, presenting well thought out, delicious plates, while retaining the friendliest of atmospheres. The staff are excellent. The best I have ever experienced. Friendly, knowledgeable and open. The dining room is warm and friendly, clad in pale creams and greens, it feels very organic, and the new bar is beautiful. The glass window that lets you peer into the inner workings of the kitchen where an international selection of chef’s busy themselves behind the pass ties the whole place together. We were greeted with hellos from each member of staff we met, and the chefs in the kitchen also looked up and greeted us with a wave and a smile. The food they prepare is exquisite. We had the Seasons menu, and it was very autumnal in feel and presentation - mushrooms, truffles, nuts, rich venison. I loved it. And the wine pairing again, was extremely well thought out and suited each course perfectly. I had a feeling I was going to enjoy dining at Core, and I was not disappointed. Can’t wait to return already. Amazing.

Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling is a place to really submerge yourself in a theatrical show. You’re facing the kitchen, the chefs come to your table and you are able to really interact with every member of the team. Frog is luxury in an environment where you feel comfortable being whoever you are and where all elements in the restaurant are connected to offer a truly memorable experience.

The dishes are very emotional and they all mean something to Adam. Each and every one of the dishes has a story behind it, whether it’s a memory from Adam’s childhood or something that has inspired him or the team.

About the restaurant

The Harwood Arms re-opened in September 2008 after some much needed refurbishment.
This rural haven in the middle of Fulham is a collaboration between Brett Graham of the famed Ledbury restaurant, Mike Robinson of the acclaimed Pot Kiln pub in rural Berkshire and Edwin Vaux from the famous Vaux brewery.
The idea is to provide Londoners with a really relaxed venue for eating the finest British produce, cooked amazingly well, accompanied by excellent beer and wine at a great price.

Limited menù but excellent quality throughout. Lots of deer dishes so that you can have a full deer menù starting with an outstanding grilled tongue. Even beef was very good. Extensive wine list a bit on the pricey side for an Italian ( the wine list presented at the restaurant was different from the one on the web side so that the wine I had chosen ahead was not available) Service informal but attentive. Absolutely to recommend.
