Harden's survey result
Summary
“Watch the catch you are about to eat” – crab, oyster, lobster – “being landed at this great seafood restaurant right on the harbour” of this picturesque coastal town. It opened in 2018 and also incorporates an art gallery. The culinary result is a short menu of tempting bistro-style dishes, with plenty also for non-pescatarians.
Summary
Born in 2018, “a quirky small restaurant fronting the harbour at Pittenweem, where you can see some of the boats which land the fish which is served” here, barely 40 metres away, and where “the walls are adorned by works from local artists which are also available for sale”. The “choice depends on the morning catch”, naturally enough, but the daily specials board also advertises wild game using meat from Fife estates – plus “vegetables from the restaurant’s kitchen garden”.
Summary
“Simply a joy” – a “lovely local seafood restaurant on the harbour” (est. 2018) which also doubles as an art gallery, with maritime-themed works on its walls. “They also have a boat!” Some of the catch comes “straight out of the sea”, and the rest from not much further off, so that “within a couple of hours of them swimming in the North Sea, you can eat the freshest mussels, crabs, lobsters and beautiful fish” here.
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).
