Harden's survey result
Summary
“Modern, vibrant and bright seaside restaurant” serving “beautifully cooked, ultra-fresh fish”, with “wonderful views across the Solent”. Options cover the gamut “from fish ’n’ chips to more sophisticated dishes”. Peter and Stephen Hayward acquired what was then the self-service Avon Beach Café in 2012, developing it into a business that serves up to 800 customers a day in high season.
Summary
This beachfront diner is a “post-covid success story – bigger and better since reopening” and doing a roaring trade in ultra-local lobster and other seafood. It also offers real “value for money in Sandbanks – now there’s a thing…”
Summary
“Fish served as caught daily” and served up in “creative and tasty dishes” by “excellent staff” ensure there’s “often a queue” at this beachfront diner at a “great location” – so “grab a window seat if you can”. Top Tip – “the lobster is amazing”.
Summary
The “wonderful beach setting and ‘catch of the day’ fish choice” make this ten-year-old hugely popular all year round (it’s “best to go out of season or on weekdays, when it’s not rammed”). There are “some nice twists on the menu”, and “prices are fair for the location”.
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).
