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 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.

We had a lovely time at this place, and were well taken care of by our Server, Brian who shared recommendations and even told us about the famous Sunday Roast! We came here on a Saturday evening. The place was full, so definitely recommend booking reservations beforehand. Lots of groups of friends and couples. The ambience is quite rustic, nice music. Not a vast menu selection, as you'd expect from a Michelin star gastro pub! You have the option to choose between 2 and 3 course meals and some snacks. We came here for their scotch eggs! And I tell you it was divine!! It was delicious I could have had seconds. Following this I felt our dinner orders were a little weaker in comparison but the plating was beautiful 😍. Not a big fan of their dessert menu nor their starters. Of course their wine and drink selections were incredible. We ordered a dessert wine (Samos Anthemis Greek Sweet Wine) at the end to pair with our custard tart. Recommended by Brian and it was a great way to end our evening. We're definitely making another visit to Harwood Arms for their scotch eggs, Sunday roast and drinks!

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! 😊

Excellent food, portions are deceptively sufficient - look small but are plentiful - couldn’t manage a desert! Was disappointed that I couldn’t squeeze in a Scotch Egg, they looked incredible Pub was fairly quiet until a table of Italians arrived and then the atmosphere livened up and was much better Service is good but could definitely be improved with some further development
