Your trusted guide to the UK's Best Restaurants + Avoid bad restaurants & discover brilliant ones + Founded 1991 + Trusted reviews and detailed ratings + Over 3,000 entries, updated in real time + New club with special benefits and access + Powerful search by price, food quality, cuisine + Book online (selected restaurants) + Journal meals out in your restaurant diary + Restaurant news, with constant updates + Browse curated collections of recommendations WHY YOU CAN TRUST OUR REVIEWS Decide where to eat based on socially sourced, carefully curated ratings and reviews. Votes are taken from 1,000s of fellow foodies, who take part annually in the Harden's Annual National Diners Poll. Harden's editors then carefully weed this data for cheats and distil the feedback into statistically-derived ratings and short reports quoting from diner feedback. Since 1991, we've been "telling it like it is" based on one of the UK's most detailed surveys of restaurant-goers. Each year, approximately, 8,000 ‘reporters’ (that's what we call diners who take part in the survey) contribute 50,000 reviews. And now you can even submit reports to us directly from the App. COVERING LONDON & THE UK With detailed coverage of the UK and London, the app features over 1,400 listings outside the capital, and more than 1,400 within London itself. (Outside London, that’s more listings than our rival, the Good Food Guide; and inside London, about five times as many reviews as the Good Food Guide!)

You can’t move around on the map or switch between map and list view. There is no search by cuisine type. Reviews are still good but poor functionality makes it a pain. Also having paid for the app, having a landing page asking for more money each time you open the app is really irritating. -- stanlegs, 2024-08-07 ### ***** "Go To London Restaurant App" Informed, objective and up to date. Best in class. -- MaoMeister, 2024-01-26 ### *---- "Buggy" Uninstalled within minutes -- Liberace0425, 2022-11-16 ### **--- "When it works it’s great but often has glitches" Regular glitches on this app, today I can’t sign in, when I tried my husband’s app I can’t get location to work. Support from Hardens generally not good. Have left 2 voice messages and sent one email and 2 to 3 weeks later still have not had a reply. All a shame as the guide is v helpful. -- Saltmac, 2022-09-28 ### ****- "Great Find" Came across this App via a restaurant link on Instagram. Great information and easy to use the App. Kinda use this like Trip advisor If you write reviews on this you receive reward of free annual subscription which is great if you wish to consider a further purchase. Restaurant choices can be a minefield so this App can be useful Be great if the App could link discounts to dine -- LizzyGMint, 2022-04-14 ### *---- "Why have ratings dropped from my membership app?" Generally a great app but the ratings for food service and ambience are no longer showing on my search screen restaurant list. This is essential for the app to be of use!! And app support does not allow me to message anyone….so on this basis I’m going to have to rate this a single a star until someone fixes it and contacts me! -- DHMcM, 2022-01-05 ### *---- "Un-usable app that pushes for paid subscription" The app looks awful on a recent iPhone, no effort whatsoever has been put into maintaining it. It’s uncomfortable to use, doesn’t really add any value over a google maps search and the search feature is disabled unless you pay. For the company: invest in software development and design before social media ads. -- German_2012, 2021-06-17 ### *---- "No password recovery function" Very poor UX. On the Login screen the email field whites out the text so you can’t see if you’re entering the correct email address. Next screen doesn’t recognise my email and doesn’t include a password recovery option. I’ve cancelled my subscription as I can’t go any further into the site. -- gottheflu, 2021-01-27 ### ***** "Excellent and practical" Invaluable guide if you are in a hurry and want a good place to eat. Wherever you are in the UK. -- decastello, 2020-12-08 ### *---- "New version doesn’t work on either iPad or iPhone!" Has always worked before -- KentishMole, 2020-12-08 ### ***** "Excellent" The best way to find great restaurants wherever you are in the UK. -- RocketSam19, 2020-11-29 ### ***** "Vic Silver" This app is brilliant! Completely trusted reviews and it can track where you are which is really useful. I use it loads for work and travel to find the best food near where I am. I’m a total foodie and I reckon it’s bang on regarding my local (north London) eateries. Also lots of search options which is helpful in the capital - cuisine types etc. Also updated regularly. I’ve tried a few restaurant apps and this is the best by far. -- Vic Silver, 2019-04-29 ### *---- "Useless without search function" Search function is by subscription and without this app is pointless -- Klarkerz, 2019-04-18 ### ***** "Useless, doesn’t recognise I have a subscription." Says I need to subscribe. When I tap purchase, the iTunes Store says I have an active subscription. But the app thinks I don’t and greys out the search. Looks like a company slowly (or even faster) going out of business. -- W--G, 2019-01-12 ### ***** "Great App for UK Restaurants" Since the demise of the old GFG this has become an indispensable tool when searching for a place to eat especially outside of Greater London. The app works well and is good reflection of general opinion. -- maryin m, 2018-11-20 ### ***** "Excellent app for foodies" This app is wonderful. It’s easy and simple to use offline, and updates itself once back online. It gives truly unbiased reviews from people like me; the general public who dine out regularly. If you’re looking for a good place to eat in an area that your unfamiliar with, you’ll find this to be an outstanding guide. -- HappychefNeil, 2018-11-13 ### *---- "Promises but does not deliver" Another reviewer boldly claims that restaurants are included as soon as they open and removed when they close - NOT! An Indian restaurant in Whaley Bridge closed nearly two years ago and is still in the guide - FAIL -- AMomentaryLapse, 2018-11-09 ### ****- "Great Info" I had an earlier version of this which I really missed - especially when in an unfamiliar location - when it disappeared. I find the analysis of the Food, Service and Ambiance remarkably in tune with my experiences of the restaurants we visit. It’s a great app. -- 51 Vintage, 2018-10-19 ### ***** "Really pleased with new App" This is much improved on previous versions, the Map search is SO useful and proved itself the first time I needed it while stuck for ideas near Tate Britain! Great update Hardens. -- MatildaGeorge, 2018-07-21 ### ****- "My bible of finding great restaurants" My Go-to when wanting to find a restaurant in town. Completely user-friendly and my bible when it comes to choosing a restaurant to go to with family and friends. -- Sheilswheelsinlondon, 2018-07-16 [View all Hardens reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Hardens In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Annual UK + London Restaurants | £6.99 | ## Hardens Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | United Kingdom | Food Drink | #55 | ## Hardens Discovered Keywords -
