Harden's survey result
Summary
This gorgeous old tavern on a corner site near the harbour – newly spiffed-up last autumn and with the recent addition of a conservatory – specialises in “excellent-quality” local seafood, served in a warm atmosphere that is “like being in France”.
Summary
“In a lovely old building” that’s “overlooking the harbour”, this “noisy, busy” sort of place on the quay feels “as if one has been transported to France”. The “most welcoming hosts” set the tone for fish-centric Gallic food that’s frankly “Wow!”. Fish soup, Dover sole, turbot, spider crab – all have gone down a storm here. “We liked it so much that we came back for an evening takeaway!”
Summary
“Very good fresh fish and seafood” – “landed in the harbour 50 feet away” – is the USP at this French family-run operation, where staff “keep the entente as cordiale as possible”. It’s been “a favourite for more than 10 years”, and “early booking is recommended”.
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).
