Harden's survey result
Summary
James Sommerin runs his Beach Cliff venue with the help of his wife, Louise, and it’s a swish contemporary operation, with views internally through the long hatch into the kitchen and externally of the sea and pier. The chef is “an artist” and his “superb modern British cuisine” establishes “what a very seriously good restaurant this is”. Even so, ratings slid a little this year amidst gripes about toppish prices and a few reports of service that was “not special”.
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).
