The Good Food Guide was founded by Raymond Postgate in 1951 and today it remains the longest-standing and best selling guide to dining out in Great Britain.

To cover the best establishments across the country, we look to our discerning reader’s tip-offs and suggestions (you can submit your feedback here). Whether there’s a promising new chef in town or a remote country pub that’s upped its game, we’ll send one of our 30 inspectors to give their expert assessment on the food, hospitality and whether it’s worth making a trip for.

All inspections are paid for by the Guide and are conducted anonymously to ensure no preferential treatment is received. No establishment can pay for inclusion to the Guide and we do not accept free meals, so you can be confident our recommendations are offered with the utmost impartiality. For consistency we allow a new restaurant, cafe or pub to settle in for a period of three to six months before we send an inspector to review.

To keep pace with the dynamic nature of today’s hospitality industry, we have brought the Guide into a new digital era. By becoming a member of The Good Food Guide Club, you have access to The Good Food Guide app, which means hundreds of trusted reviews are at your fingertips and always up to date.

The Guide is constantly evolving to offer Good Food Guide Club members the most reliable assessment of the British dining scene. Club members also have access to restaurant news, features and useful location guides full of on-the-ground knowledge.
