* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A “great new local” set up by Ben Hughes and Rafael Lopez, both grads of Canterbury’s The Goods Shed, and which has gained “rapid Michelin recognition” (having made it into the 2023 guide since launching in May 2022). The owners’ British and Spanish backgrounds inform the “brilliant” modern bistro cooking, enriched by high-quality ingredients and “attentive service”.

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).
