Harden's survey result
Summary
“One of Rick Stein’s smarter outposts” – this centrally located outpost of the celeb chef family’s empire occupies a period building on the high street, and is a useful option in this surprisingly thinly provided area, including for “a business chat with friends”. Limited but positive feedback this year on its cooking, although the indication is that it’s “very decent”.
Summary
“Good ol’ fish ’n’ chips” is the strong suit at Rick Stein’s smart venue in a fine period building on Marlborough High Street, where “the cooking is steady rather than inspired” – fancier fare is available, but some regulars feel it’s best to settle for “the simple things done well here”.
Summary
“Rick Stein does a great job of bringing a little bit of Cornwall seafood to various parts of the UK”, say fans of the TV chef’s group, whose Marlborough outlet occupies a fine period building and attracts a “formally dressed clientele”. Reports are a bit up and down, though: for example one acclaims “reliably good fish ’n’ chips” but finds other dishes “timid”.
Summary
“If you like fish, this is the place to be” say fans of the Stein empire’s upmarket brasserie, which occupies a fine period building (Lloran House) on the high street. But while favourable feedback still says it’s “a very enjoyable experience”, it elicited remarkably few reports last year compared to last, so we’ve left a rating till next year.
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).

Rick Stein Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Rick Stein is the only restaurant open on a Sunday night in Marlborough. Service was reasonable and the food good and the ambiance is always quite good here. The experience is always reasonable but somehow lacks the atmosphere and aura of a chef patron restaurant."
