Harden's says

Idyllic village inn in southwest Scotland that's been brought back to life as a gastropub on the strength of a £1million donation from the renewable energy company behind a local wind farm. It closed down five years ago, before being taken over and refurbished by the New Luce Community Trust and has now reopened under chef Christopher Dougan, formerly of Gordon Ramsay’s Mayfair restaurant Petrus, who has developed an eight-course tasting menu championing local organic and under-used ingredients.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

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).
