Four Lane Ends, Tarporley, CW6 9LZ
Harden's survey result
Summary
For “really tasty Indian food” – the usual suspects, plus slightly more exotic fare such as duck masala – head to this 200-year-old brick inn, which won nothing but praise this year for its cooking, but also its “exceptional” service (recalling the theme song from ‘Cheers’, this is “the place where they know your name!”). The “only slight issue is busy roads on both sides” (the A49 and A51, which bypass the village of Tarporley right outside) but once inside “you can’t really hear them”.
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).
