Another year, another awards season and just before we get to next week's new Michelin stars, it's the turn of The Good Food Guide to unveil their gongs.
This year, there's been a bit of a shake-up at the guide, with their scoring rating being replaced and instead they'll be highlighting restaurants that are both World Class and Exceptional. So restaurants like Ynyshir and L'Enclume are World Class while CORE by Clare Smyth and The Ritz have been deemed Exceptional.
Other than that list, they also have some special awards and here's who got what last night:
- Best New Restaurant - Mountain, London
- Restaurant of the Year - The Sportsman, Kent
- Best Front Row Seat - The Sea, The Sea Chef’s Table, London
- Drinks List of the Year - Furna, Brighton
- Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant - Our Farm, Cumbria
- Most Exciting Food Destination - Helmsley & the Howardian Hills, North Yorkshire
- Chef to Watch - James Carn, Lark, Suffolk
As far as best new restaurant is concerned we can only say great minds think alike.
