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).

1539 Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Both myself and my wife have visited and enjoyed 1539 on many occasions, mainly during the week. This was our first time on a Sunday and sadly it was quite a disappointment. First, surely these days you should provide a decent vegetarian menu. Soup and a vegetarian tart is NOT a menu. Sadly the food was also quite cold, obviously our dishes had been waiting some time before serving. We will come again, but hopefully with a better menu."
