Launched in 2015 after Richard (a fisherman) & Alison Matthews spotted the potential of a derelict brick kiln, a “lovely” seasonal shellfish specialist where “they catch most of their menu daily”, and it's then “served overlooking the sea”; “there is also a shop on site which sells a wide selection of their produce”.

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).
