Harden's survey result
Summary
“A regular haunt for excellent fish” says a dedicated fan of this chic, contemporary shack by the harbour and fish market whose “menu changes daily according to what has been purchased at the auction that day”. The sourcing may be local, but many dishes are of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern inspiration.
Summary
This “small harbourside shack by Newlyn fish market” – (“approx 20 covers inside and similar outside”) – is “not cheap, but different”, offering “very good fish that changes every day according to the day’s catch” – which means you can “go three times on one holiday”. A joint effort from local fishmonger Rich Adams and ex-Rochelle Canteen head chef Ben Coombs, it opened three years ago.
Summary
You’ll find the “best sardines outside of Portugal” and “delightful grilled lobster” at this “tiny little restaurant right on the harbourside” that was opened in 2021 by local fishmonger Rich Adams and ex-Rochelle Canteen head chef Ben Coombs to celebrate Newlyn’s connection with the sea. In decent weather, eat on the terrace “looking out over the boats which landed most of the items on the menu”.
For 34 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).
