A “glorious summer lunch spot”“if the sun is shining you could be in the South of France drinking rosé and eating lovely – if somewhat pricey – seafood to the soundtrack of Dmitri from Paris”. The seventeenth-century hotel is run by Prince Harry’s pal Howard Spooner, who last year won a High Court battle against his former business partner Sally Johnson, following the pair’s failed attempt to turn The George into a celebrity retreat for A-listers, including old rockers, yachtsmen, polo players and wealthy Americans.

“Hurrah for The George! At last a fresh face” at the helm – Howard Spooner, who previously ran clubs with Prince Harry's pal Guy Pelly, and is “drawing a new crowd to Yarmouth”. A revamp has added a “great outdoor space – almost Mediterranean”, while the “gorgeous setting” on the Solent (“castle walls form part of the garden and you can even arrive by boat”) is happily matched by “affordable” and “delicious” food.

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).
