Harden's survey result
Summary
A “pretty setting” in a fourteenth-century thatched inn adds to the charms of this restaurant-with-rooms, which is run by the St Austell Brewery, and an easy walk from Branscombe beach. The pub classics and more ambitious dishes achieve “very high standards” (“the lunch menu is particularly good value”) and the “quirky” spot offers a warm welcome too (also to dogs).
Summary
Pub classics jostle with more bistro-eseque fare on the menu of this recently refitted St Austell Brewery pub, about 10 minutes walk from Branscombe Beach. It’s well-rated in reports and you get “lovely views over the countryside”.
For 33 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).

"Really recovered well from awful food about 12-18 months ago. Very busy in the summer with tourists and in good weather, so can be busy but service has always been good!"
