The Hardwick

About The Hardwick

A menu should give you a good indication to what the particular establishment you are in or thinking of visiting is trying to be and achieve, from content to wording to design. It is my shop window, it echoes my philosophy of food and is my culinary mission statement.

It should be easy to read and understand. Descriptions should be concise and informative. A customer will generally take a few words or seconds to decide whether they like a dish or not and move onto the next. So it is important to keep it to the point and not go off on some mad creative writing exercise as is often the case with too many menus.

There is nothing worse than having to choose the dish you dislike the least from a menu that’s content is limited. At the Hardwick the choice is almost ridiculous for the size of the restaurant. This doesn’t make for an easy life but it works and customers enjoy visiting for old favourites and new dishes alike. We can’t be all things to all people but I think that there is something for most people on our menu.

Arriving at the Harwick has been quite a long & interesting journey. Throughout there have been some memorable highlights, working with Marco Pierre White in the early days of his first restaurant Harvey’s, when Marco was at his most creative and was a man on a mission. Great friendships were forged and a mentor was established. Now, I have the freedom to create, and the joy of doing so at The Hardwick
