Harden's survey result
Summary
“A small restaurant with a single sitting, delivering an outstanding multi-course tasting menu for a fantastic price” – this open kitchen/chef’s table experience delivers a ten-course tasting menu using “some really creative cooking, and the selection differs using local and foraged ingredients every visit”. It’s only open Thursday-Saturday and sits on the 3,000-acre Rougham estate, alongside a cookery school. Feedback is only limited, but remains very upbeat.
Summary
“Quite exceptional and such a pleasure to visit”, this “wonderful concept is very different from most restaurants” – “an intimate open kitchen (16-20 covers only)” serving “superb local ingredients, many of which are foraged by the chefs” on the surrounding 3,000-acre Rougham estate. “All courses are delivered to your table by the chefs and carefully explained” – it’s “amazing value for money too”, at between £40 per person and £75 per person for as many as ten courses. “Almost don’t want to write a review in case too many people find out about it!”
For 34 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).
