Harden's says
Dom Robinson closed his smash hit pub, The Blackbird, in its charming village location in June 2021, to relaunch it in September 2021 as a restaurant of greater ambition. (Hence, the vaguely SciFi name, implies rebirth.) It's high stakes for a chef chasing a Michelin star, as he had one for the previous format, and he will have to win it all over again for the new venture. Let's hope the "very grounded and un-poncy" cuisine we wrote of last time only benefits from the transition.

Summary
“An absolutely stand-out meal in what initially looked like a bland country pub” – Dom Robinson’s CV is a glittering one and his “top-level cuisine” at this cosy pub “in a charming village location” has won it a big culinary reputation. There is a ‘Dégustation’ menu, but – as with the à la carte and menu du jour – the cuisine is very grounded and un-poncy: “I dream about the butternut squash soup, which sounds so ordinary but is SO much more!”
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).
