Harden's survey result
Summary
This “tiny restaurant executing delicious fish” is “a real gem” and “hugely successful in expensive Salcombe” – no wonder it’s “always fully booked”. Experienced owners Nick & Nikki Horne took over from Rob & Anna Johnstone two years ago and it has been a seamless transition – they are “friendly, professional, not stuffy and know what they are doing”. The menu is dominated by their own hand-picked local crab, but there’s also “scallops to die for”.
Summary
A cheerful venture offering “delicious fresh seafood on the river estuary”, run by Nick & Nikki Horne, who previously owned an award-winning seafood spot on Scotland's west coast. Portions are “large and delicious”, staff “very friendly” and there's no knocking the “great location”.
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).
