For 34 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 Royal Forest Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Fish soup was not very warm, rouille looked like garlic mayonnaise out of a bottle, twice cooked cheese souffle was large, but obviously precooked as still cold in the middle. Served with a tiny jug of thick cheese sauce. Lemon tart very good,"
