Adebola Adeshina (ex-Gordon Ramsay) left London to set up this restaurant in a Grade II-listed thatched pub. Fans say that this fine diner is “very romantic” and “superb all round” – while, for the odd critic, “dishes are picture perfect but tastes lack follow-through”. PS – Adeshina has now developed the open space behind the pub into a casual summer lunch spot, The Yard.

Gordon Ramsay and Philip Howard-trained Adebola Adeshina’s “beautifully presented tasting menu” wins praise for this “nicely decorated old thatched inn in a lovely village” outside Peterborough, which receives all-round good ratings from reporters.

Adebola Adeshina’s dining operation in the surroundings of THe Fitzwilliam Arms didn’t attract a huge volume of feedback this year for this thatched pub, but all to the effect that it’s one of the brighter culinary sparks in these parts. “Amuse bouche was very well flavoured cod and salmon dish… the starter a perfectly cooked scallop, main pigeon cooked exactly as it should be, plus gravy with extraordinary depth of flavour…”.

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).
