“Fresh fish, expertly aged, prepared and cooked” is the proposition at this two-year-old ‘fish butchery’ from chefs Jay Scrimshaw and Richard Stokes that “goes from strength to strength”. “A triumph!”“it feels just like a great fish (or any) restaurant should be”: “everything is good”, and the prices are pretty reasonable for quality seafood. Top Menu Tip – “the prawn toast deserves a Nobel prize”.

“The superlatives are fully justified” at this yearling from well-travelled chefs Jay Scrimshaw and Richard Stokes, serving “grown-up seafood dishes in a charming setting”. It’s a “simple and informal place but still quite serious”, with “knowledgeable and passionate staff” and “every dish outstanding, in decent-sized portions and at very fair prices”.

“An outstanding newish restaurant in Mill Road” – this restaurant, deli and ‘fish butchery’ opened in mid 2021, further bolstering the ever-more thriving local scene. Fish and seafood is right, left and centre to the offering with an eclectic and inviting mashup of Asian curries, pho, pasta and funky small plates. Earlier in the week is à la carte – weekend evenings are a tasting menu format.

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).
