For 31 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).

Quod Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Large all-day restaurant with a big cocktail bar. Starters appeared to have been prepared well in advance with economy in mind and were not great, mains were a considerable improvement. Service was pleasant and efficient without being particularly friendly, like the food they got the job done. The all-day dining and fairly straightforward menu would make this a good place to bring children."
