Top Menu Tip – don’t miss the “notable desserts: ‘Runton Mess’ a lovely pile with several summer fruits, and a tangy lemon posset”.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
