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).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

Evening Standard

Jimi Famurewa was very taken by “this immensely likeable slice of British-Caribbean cool” from married couple Daniel and Heleena Maynard, who previously operated Deptford’s Jerk Off BBQ and showcase the Jamaican and especially Bajan cooking of Daniel’s heritage.

The restaurant “occupies the sort of beguiling, design-forward space that isn’t typically associated with Caribbean-inspired cuisine”, making it “unique, charming and, in its own minor key way, quietly game-changing”.

Jimi enjoyed most of the dishes he tried – in particular the “moreish” stewed kidney beans and “succulent” jerk chicken. “Mauby seems like it is after slow, steady growth and permanence, rather than any frantic, short-lived harnessing of hype.”
