Harden's recognise Verveine for Exceptional Quality Food

Verveine have recently, and once again, been awarded the Five Star Certificate of Achievement for their Exceptional Quality Food, and a Top 100 Restaurant rating, by Hardens Guide.

Verveine scored 5 out 5 for Food, which is the only 5 out of 5 score in the whole of Hampshire, and puts Verveine in the Top 2% of restaurants for Exceptional Quality Food in the UK. - Impressive indeed.

The summary from the Harden's Guide reads as follows:

"Constantly innovative, super-fresh fish dishes" from chef-patron David Wykes have established this "small, warm space" with an in-house fishmonger as a true "destination restaurant", invariably hailed as a "great discovery" by first time visitors. The "outstanding tasting menus" are presented in an unusual format, with guests nominating the number of courses but not their content. They arrive with "imaginative accompaniments" and "charming, attentive service".
