Summary
In a “simply perfect spot” gazing out to sea and St Michael’s Mount, this hotel dining room “has gone through many variations”, but has clearly settled into its stride under the Gurnard’s Head team. The “mainly locally sourced” (fish-slanted) food is “melt in the mouth”.
For 30 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).
