    Wonderful restaurant! I came here a number of years ago when The Glasshouse was at this location, so I was keen to try out the very popular restaurant that replaced it. I really really loved coming to Hawthorn. The food, staff, ambiance and indeed the pricing, were all fantastic. I Look forward to going again!

    A worthy successor to the Glass House, a thoughtful and creative menu, well presented and delicious. Wine list prices tend to the expensive.

    Really wanted to give this 5* having been several times before both as the Glasshouse and Hawthorn. However service was very mixed as was some of the food. The ingredients in a couple of the dishes really didn’t gel. Very sad because we used to love this place. We felt a bit neglected, the chef spoke to just about every table but we were ignored. Not great if you spend close to £300 for two

    Josh is an exceptional chef. It’s such a shame this great restaurant will close soon. Kew will be a poorer place for its loss.
