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).

Marcella Restaurant Diner Reviews
"I had visited several times before and had a good experience - this was not. Took 3 attempts to get the wine order correct. I ordered the only dish without kale, mushrooms or broccoli only to find the dish with hake, lentils and carrots was full of kale! My friend enjoyed the lamb though. Also they need to do something about the noise. It's impossible to have a quiet conservation there!"
