For 31 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).

The Circus Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Excellent small family restaurant. Good well crafted food. "
"Always a pleasant experience in this friendly cosy bistro. Pretty safe, if rather unexciting cooking with an emphasis on wholesome vegetables but generally well done."
"We had the excellent pre-theatre menu. Delightful and a bargain. Well worth a future visit to sample the full a la carte. "
