Harden's survey result
Summary
“A welcoming beacon of yellow on the stunning Zennor coast” – this well-known gastropub, named after the Cornish promontory it sits on, has a reputation that precedes it: “everyone knows the food is good, but there’s not a pretentious atmosphere”. The “fabulous” meals are served by “lovely, well-trained staff” at a choice of three places to sit: the bar, the restaurant or outside. “All are good – same food, different views”.

Summary
“Right on the coast miles from anywhere, but worth the journey (or better still the walk)” – this bright yellow gastropub-with-rooms is a beacon of hospitality for hungry visitors to England’s wild west, a short drive from St Ives. Service is “well-meaning” but can be “wayward”, while the cooking is “consistent” and can be “excellent” (“as you might expect, the fish is to be recommended”).
For 31 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).
