Harden's survey result
Summary
Former MasterChef: The Professionals winner Mark Stinchcombe is “back on form in this fish-focused restaurant/café” above an “excellent” deli and fishmonger, having joined Richard & Shirley Cook’s long-running venture (supplier of salmon to royals, etc.) overlooking the Severn estuary two years ago. His “really good fish and seafood” is “quite pricey but worth it”, while The Barn, their modern café across the yard, is well-liked too.
Summary
“A huge choice of delicious fish and shellfish dishes” – “all beautifully fresh and in generous helpings” – is available at Richard & Shirley Cook’s long-established smokery overlooking the Severn estuary, which added ‘The Barn’, with a “pleasant, modern café”, a couple of years ago. “A nice bonus is the wonderful fishmonger and delicatessen on the premises”.

Summary
Richard & Shirley Cook’s veteran smokery reopened doors in October 2017 after a three-year revamp, adding new food hall/café/shop and fish counter ‘The Barn’. “The ambience is a bit clinical”, but largely compensated for by “perfect views over the Severn, Bristol Channel and Welsh Hills” – plus “delicious fresh” fishy food.
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).

Severn & Wye Smokery Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Smart barn conversion with deli and wet fish counter downstairs, restaurant upstairs. Mark Stinchcombe, former BBC Masterchef winner, serves seafood focused menu, mainly good although my dish let down by poor quality (previously cooked?) crab reheated, therefore overdone and tough. I suspect chef did the best with what he was given but unforgivable really, given the fresh produce available from the fish counter downstairs."
