We had high expectations of the Harwood Arms (it’s part owned by Brett Graham from the Ledbury), and we weren’t disappointed. Set in what was an old corner pub, in residential Fulham, it’s now firmly at the restaurant end of the gastropub spectrum, though there are stools for perching at the bar to enjoy a pint of Young’s London Gold or a house bloody mary (with own-made tomato juice and thyme and chilli vodka). The stripped-down country-chic decor is easy on the eye, and the atmosphere laid-back, though the informally dressed young staff are alert.

The artfully arranged food takes things to a different level. Game is a speciality. Strangely, roe deer and walnut terrine with spiced chutney, chicory and caramelised onion bread, though highly moreish, didn’t pack as much of a gamey punch as expected. In contrast, warm ‘salad’ of wood pigeon with creamed livers, bitter leaves and turnips was a full-flavoured delight. Next, cheek and jowl of Middlewhite pork with celeriac and white cabbage was Sunday lunch perfection, though we’re not sure crackling – served as a thin sliver – should be so refined. Fish is also handled with aplomb: witness roast plaice on the bone with potted shrimp butter, smoked mash and cooked baby gem lettuce. We can heartily recommend a side order of crispy garlic potatoes; a bar snack of venison rissoles is also a must. Poached peach with lemon thyme, raspberry sorbet and salted almonds is typical of the classy puddings. Lucky old Fulham.

Visited for the first time yesterday and had a fantastic lunch. Evenings were booked up a week in advance so settled for a weekday lunch (booked the night before). Even for a late-ish lunch (1.30pm, so expected the work-lunch crowd to have left and there to be little atmosphere) there were a nice number of diners, not too full but certainly not dead. Had some bar snacks to start, which were superb. Then had the venison with crispy garlic potatoes which. was. to. die. for. Portion size was perfect and the wine was well paired with the food, thanks to an extremely informative wine list. I walked away feeling that despite being reaaaaasonably pricey, I had received excellent value for money. I can not recommend this place enough and will certainly, without doubt, be visiting again. 5 stars.

Having been to the Harwood on many occasions now I would, without doubt, rate it as one of the top 20 restuarants in London. The service, food and pricing are always spot on. The menu changes frequently enough to keep clients interested, and the food is made by an ANGEL!! Amazing tastes and twists on tradition without making the food over fussed or pretentious.

Wouldn't call it a pub, but excellent food and service. Prices also very reasonable.
