Harden's survey result
Summary
“Outstanding” or “good but overly pricey”? Both strands of thought are still evident in diner feedback on Stephen Stevens’ ambitious venue, in a converted butcher’s just over the Menai Bridge. Its renown has been boosted in recent times both by a Michelin star and four hard-to-win rosettes from the AA. It’s only open three nights per week, offering a ‘unique culinary journey’ for £175 per person.
Summary
A converted butcher’s, where Stephen & Bethan Stevens take diners on an unusual multi-course journey based on local produce and coming as a surprise when you sit down. While it generally elicits raves, one former fan rated it “very good” not “exceptional” this year – less on the food than service front, and because “prices are highish for an old shop in North Wales” (lunch £59, dinner £145).
Summary
Stephen & Bethan Stevens’s converted butcher’s shop is the “best in North Wales” – (surprise) menus morph daily to take account of supply, so “you get what is on offer – all local and fresh”, and uniformly “terrific”. Top Tip – “booking is a MUST, as it may be months before a table becomes available”.

For 32 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).
