Harden's survey result
Summary
“Wonderful views out to the surfers’ beach (and you park on the beach too)” accompany a trip to this large shack, owned by the National Trust. As you’d expect, fish and seafood are the main events on Donal Doherty’s menu. (The eponymous Harry was Donal’s father, who passed away a couple of years ago).
Summary
The only building on wild Portstewart Strand, this large modern shack – owned by the National Trust – complete with growing eco roof serves a “varied and well-presented fish menu” backed up by vegetables from the nearby Doherty family farm in Donegal. (Donal, who opened the shack in 2015, last year announced the passing of his father Harry, who opened the family’s first fish restaurant in Bridgend more than 30 years ago). Top Tip: “take a pullover as it gets chilly”.
Summary
The last of the local Harry’s chain “does what it says on the tin – it’s a shack on Portstewart Strand serving cracking seafood straight out of the sea” (as well as other dishes, using ingredients sourced from their organic farm).

For 32 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).

"Excellent seafood. An enormous piece of turbot, the most expensive thing on the menu but it was very large! Right on the beach so you can walk it off afterwards."
