Harden's survey result
Summary
“Amazing ramen” is just one highlight of the “lovely menu” at chef Jude Kereama’s second venue, sister to nearby Kota. There’s plenty of seafood, along with dishes inspired by Jude’s New Zealand and Asian heritage. “Fab views over the harbour just across the road” are another reason to visit.
Summary
“The more informal, café-style, sister to Kota” – the local star from chef Jude Kereama – “this place overlooking the harbour just hits the spot for a holiday lunch, with on-point sharing plates that have fantastic flavours”, thanks to Jude’s New Zealand and Asian heritage. “The menu is imaginative, innovative and a cut above the norm”, and the “great-value food” comes in “generous portions”.
Summary
“The location and 'holiday feel' certainly helps” at Kota's more casual sibling – “an airy, comfortable and spacious room with great views of the harbour”, but the food is “always enjoyable” too, combining (Great British Menu chef) “Jude Kereama's Asian and New Zealand influences with fresh local seafood on a surprisingly innovative menu”. Extra points for the “lovely playroom”.
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).
