Summary
London creatives have a new reason to visit Dorset’s Jurassic Coast – a “tastefully refurbished” two-year-old clifftop hotel from the tastemakers behind the mythic Groucho; even those who feel that “the food (albeit decent) needs to go up a notch” say that “the location and sea view alone make this worth a visit”.
For 30 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).

Owner's description
It’s not complicated, fresh seafood from the sea at our toes, great produce from the countryside at our backs. Local when it’s best, British when it’s right, international when it’s called for. Naturally seasonal and with no fleeting fads or fickle food fashions – whether you need a poached egg on toast or a six course banquet, our acclaimed restaurant is bespoke and classically modern. We like a well dressed table, but we don’t stand on any ceremony; if you want one course, three puddings, to work your way through the whole menu alphabetically or topographically that’s fine. Our view is that dinner takes as long as you need it to.
Bookings for up to 12 guests can be accommodated in the restaurant or for larger parties get in touch for private dining and events.
