“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.

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”.

“A must for fish lovers”“one-man-band Bruce Rennie serves up imaginative dishes with the freshest of Cornish fish, caught just a short distance away in Newlyn”. The set meals are served with a ‘supper club vibe’, admission by ticket only, fully paid in advance.

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).
