Harden's survey result
Summary
“Simple and small, sited right on back beach” this popular shack is “heaven for seafood lovers!” according to its fans. Too limited feedback for a rating this year, but there were none of last year’s gripes about rising prices: “all you need is a whole crab, truffle fries, some hardware, glass of something cold and an hour, then you forget about the cost!”
Summary
“Seafood platters on the back beach” are the big draw to this popular shack. All feedback this year was fundamentally positive, but sometimes with a catch. For example: “can’t help feeling the magic has slipped a bit and prices seem to have gone up”. But “the owners try hard, and it’s still worth a visit when you're in the area, especially on a sunny afternoon”.
Summary
“A refurb has refreshed this airy, bright shack on Teignmouth Back Beach” – “such a fantastic place for seafood”, where “the very freshest” catch is “served perfectly” with “a lovely view over the water”. “Worth going out of your way for, as it’s slightly off the tourist track”.
Summary
This casual outfit is “THE place for fruits de mer, as fresh as a daisy (it really is man-vs-beast when you take on their crabs)”, and it’s “extra special if the weather is good and there are seats outside”; and “it bucks the local trend of high prices”.
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).
