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).

The Small Canteen Restaurant Diner Reviews
"This is honestly one of the best restaurants in Newcastle. My husband and I had starters (potted crab and mushroom arancini) and mains (gruyere gratin and monkfish with mussels) and he had a dessert (pear polenta cake with honey and pistachio ice cream). Each course tasted beautiful. We also started with breads and three sauces which were lovely. The restaurant is intimate with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The waiter was great, everything was served fast and the drinks were very nice. I will definitely go back and 100% recommend."
"We were really lucky to get a spot at this very small eatery. We shared the three starters on offer, had a main each and then shared some desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious and coupled with a beautiful wine that you could order by the litre. I couldn't believe how reasonable the price was also. I think they're doing fantastic work here and I won't leave it long to return."
"This place is a wonderful hidden gem. The food is delicious and incredibly generous. The wine is reasonably priced and delightful. I cannot recommend this place enough!"
"This place is the most understated place in Newcastle, which is unpretentious and delivers the most generous and delicious food with care and passion. I’ve been here more times than I care to remember now and the owner Sam is always lovely and welcoming, as are his staff. A special place, well deserving of anyone’s attention. Feels like you’re in a proper home cooks restaurant on the continent, but with brilliant British food."
