Good Food Guide

Good Food Guide

The "Good Food Guide" is an annual guidebook to the best restaurants in the UK, published by Which?books.

The "Good Food Guide" was first published in 1951 by Raymond Postgate, an enthusiastic gourmet, who was appalled by the standard of contemporary catering. He recruited an army of volunteers to clandestinely visit and assess restaurants on the basis that, "You can corrupt one man. You can't bribe an army."

The "Good Food Guide" currently reports on over 1,200 top establishments and is unique as it is completely rewritten every year and is entirely independent — there is no advertising or sponsorship, no fees are accepted for inclusion, and all of the inspections are anonymous.

Readers are actively encouraged to submit their reviews, via the [http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/good-food-guide/ Good Food Guide website] , which are then considered for prospective inclusion in next year's guide. The best contributors are put forward to become future restaurant inspectors for The "Good Food Guide".

In the 2008 edition of the "Guide" Heston Blumenthal was at the head of the top 40 league table, closely followed by Gordon Ramsay and Raymond Blanc.
