Harden's survey result
Summary
“Simple… but the best dining this year” – this “relaxed alternative to New Road” occupies “a quirky seafront building” right on the harbour and “never fails to deliver a fantastic experience”. “It’s a very small venue which means tables are rather on top of each other and there’s some feeling of being cramped, but that does not negate the kind service” and “stunning fish dishes” from a “reassuringly small menu” for £99 per person changing by the daily catch, plus a straightforward, short but well-priced array of wine.
Summary
“The food is as good as Outlaw’s New Road but half the price!” according to fans of Nathan Outlaw’s “intimate and cosy venue situated right on the harbour”, which many diners feel “is our favourite of the two excellent restaurants in the Outlaw stable”. Being only “tiny” if anything boosts its “lovely and intimate atmosphere”, “staff are highly trained, but friendly and attentive” and it delivers “incredible value for the price” (“of the mainly small plates there wasn’t one we didn’t like” and results are “superb”). “I was lucky enough to be in Cornwall when this place opened. It has never dipped in what it does. Nathan = brilliant!”
Summary
“So small… how do they produce such great food from that tiny kitchen? Incredible!” – Nathan Outlaw’s “tiny, so quite cosy” No 2. venue sits on the quayside of this picturesque fishing village and is “just the best place” on account of food that’s “beautifully prepared and full of flavour”: “a wonderful combination of tapas-style eating and Michelin-starred cooking”.
Summary
“The little brother… but one which doesn’t have to worry about its other sibling as it stands up as a very good restaurant in its own right” – Nathan Outlaw’s small No 2. venue on the quayside of this picturebook Cornish fishing harbour provides “a wonderful experience from start to finish”. “Decor is quirky” and there’s “a delicious selection of small fish dishes”, consistently rated as “outstanding”.
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).
