Harden's survey result
Summary
“Cooking of the very highest standard with every dish a tasteful delight” has won acclaim (a Michelin star and an impressive four AA rosettes) for Stephen Stevens at his converted butcher’s shop on Anglesey, just over the Menai Bridge from mainland Wales: one of the most accoladed dining destinations in Wales, serving an ambitious ‘culinary journey’ for £175 per person. But while no-one doubts the high standards here the venue itself doesn’t delight everyone: “we found the room itself somewhat cold, but the chef-proprietor clearly more than knows his stuff and provides a very warm face to the dining experience”.
Summary
Stephen Stevens continues to impress those who visit this converted butcher’s shop just over the Menai Bridge, which has won renown as one of Wales’s top culinary destinations. You are encouraged to ‘Forget the menu and savour the experience’, which is only available three nights per week and remains at £175 per person.
Summary
“Outstanding” or “good but overly pricey”? Both strands of thought are still evident in diner feedback on Stephen Stevens’ ambitious venue, in a converted butcher’s just over the Menai Bridge. Its renown has been boosted in recent times both by a Michelin star and four hard-to-win rosettes from the AA. It’s only open three nights per week, offering a ‘unique culinary journey’ for £175 per person.
Summary
A converted butcher’s, where Stephen & Bethan Stevens take diners on an unusual multi-course journey based on local produce and coming as a surprise when you sit down. While it generally elicits raves, one former fan rated it “very good” not “exceptional” this year – less on the food than service front, and because “prices are highish for an old shop in North Wales” (lunch £59, dinner £145).
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).
