Harden's says

Under new management since July 2024, this tavern on a corner site near the harbour specialises in local seafood. It has a nautically themed cocktail lounge and a courtyard garden for al fresco dining (the former conservatory was removed to comply with the building's listed status).

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

This gorgeous old tavern on a corner site near the harbour – newly spiffed-up last autumn and with the recent addition of a conservatory – specialises in “excellent-quality” local seafood, served in a warm atmosphere that is “like being in France”.

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).
