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).

The Lake Isle Restaurant Diner Reviews
"They offered a special lunch menu at a very reasonable price post Christmas. Excellent value for money"
"We visit Uppingham once a year, largely to eat here - though the town is nice and a walk around Rutland Water is enjoyable. It's still my ideal neighbourhood restaurant. The food is original without striving for effect; the service is efficient, professional and pleasant; and the room feels lively whilst being quiet enough for easy conversation. Their guest rooms are good for an overnight too."
