Harden's survey result
Summary
“Penzance’s best restaurant, with a good use of local produce” – so say fans of Bruce Rennie’s 10-seater where he serves and cooks by himself at a big, 10-seat table where diners eat each night in a single sitting. Fish is the main event, with the meal focused on the best of the catch landed daily in Newlyn. No walk-ins, as the fish is purchased in the morning for the number of reservations.
Summary
“Exquisite cooking, with fish straight from the Atlantic” again wins very high ratings for Bruce Rennie’s very personal 14-seater, where service is by the man himself. Seafood is the speciality here and there are lots of Japanese accents used in the preparation of the six-course tasting menu. No walk-ins, as the fish is purchased in the morning for the number of reservations.
Summary
Bruce Rennie provides the one-man kitchen team at his very personal 14-seater, where you must book in advance, and a reservation is – according to his website – like “booking a ticket at a (very small and personal) theatre with a supper club vibe”. All who comment “love the whole concept of this place”: “Bruce is a wizard with fish which is landed just down the road in Newlyn – lots of Asian flavours make for really imaginative tasting menu offerings”.
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).
