Harden's survey result
Summary
“A classical set-up with comfy armchairs and a roaring fire, tea served with sandwiches, scones, jam, cream and cakes – this picturesque country house hotel takes us plebs all back to a bygone age” and is very highly recommended for afternoon tea. Feedback on more ambitious fare in its plush dining room was a little more up-and-down last year and relatively limited, coinciding with the departure of highly rated exec chef Andrew Birch after only two years. His replacement, Phil Yeomans, returns after leaving as head chef in 2014.
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).

"Tom hamblin professional master chef champion’# menu was beyond exceptional - so magnificently understated every mouthful a joy Lobster with a gorgeous helping of lobster mouse and a touch of spice Beef and oyster mushrooms and tartare and the most heavenly side of beef cheek - olive oil cake pudding a disappointment but Andrew’s take panacotta with fizzy bits was wonderful and he said his turbot was the best he’d ever had "
