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).

Petit Pois Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Lovely little restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and excellent staff. Unfortunately, on this visit, my wife’s pork chop was burnt but the staff were amazing and deducted this from the bill as well as giving my wife a free dessert. This did not overly detract from the evening as all the other food was fantastic but does explain my lower score on the food rating."
