“About as good as fish ’n’ chips gets” – some 20 varieties of catch come ‘baked, battered or naked’ at John Molnar’s award-winning restaurant and takeaway, now with five outposts across Nottingham and Birmingham; nor is the venue, launched in 2011, just a mere chippie either: alongside sashimi-grade tuna, the menu offers the vegetarian ‘Momma Bains’ menu of samosas and curries, conceived by local Michelin hero Sat Bains plus his ma (hence its name).

John Molnar’s “great fish restaurant and take-away in the hinterlands of Nottingham” wins our highest rating for “excellent quality food” – 20 varieties of fresh seafood, “all beautifully cooked before your eyes”: it’s “easy to see why it’s won so many awards”. And there’s “more to it than just fish ’n’ chips”: Sat Bains, the maestro behind the city’s world-famous fine-dining restaurant, has chipped in (with his mum) with recipes for a vegan samosa, chickpea curry and tamarind chutney that all appear on the menu under the ‘Momma Bains’ label. Launched in 2011, there are now four branches in the city and two more in Market Harborough and Birmingham.

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).
