The UK’s most comprehensive restaurant guide With over 3,000 entries — from palazzos to pizza dives — the UK’s most comprehensive restaurant guide is based on an annual diners’ poll of 2,500 regular diners who contribute the best (and worst) of their annual dining experiences. THE UK’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE RESTAURANT GUIDE With over 3,000 entries — from palazzos to pizza dives — The Good Food Guide, the UK’s most comprehensive restaurant guide, is based on an annual diners’ poll of 2,500 regular diners who contribute the best (and worst) of their annual dining experiences. Respected by many top chefs, the reviews and ratings are carefully curated from the results of the poll to produce reviews and ratings with just one aim: to tell it how it is. All budgets are catered for, and the easy-to-understand rating system puts value first so that you can find, for whatever your budget, where to find the best bang for your buck! Unlike many AI-generated online reviews, human authors weed out the cheats and dodgy submissions to produce an accurate snapshot based on the feedback of diners: some of whom have been contributing for over 20 years. And you can take part too. Read in The Good Food Guide how you can sign up to the annual poll — and if you submit sufficient reviews, you can receive a free copy of the next guide on publication as a thank you. Entries are fully re-written each year and presented with ratings for food, service and ambience together with an accurate formula price. 42 pages of full-colour maps, plus extensive listings by area and price, help provide inspiration for restaurant discovery whatever the occasion.
