For 34 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).

"Well established barista led coffee house with a somewhat daunting choice of beans and methods of serving them. Do not worry though, the knowledgable staff are used to guiding customers to make a choice to suit their tastes. Simply excellent coffee!"
