The Which? Good Food Guide celebrates its 55th anniversary this year with reviews of more than 1,200 restaurants across the UK, from the best gastro-pubs to the finest top-end dining.
Providing up-to-the-minute information on chefs, openings and changes of ownership, the guide once again sets out to help readers choose the best - and avoid the worst - restaurants the UK has to offer.
For those who like to stay abreast of the latest food fashions, one of this year's success stories promises to be the Bistrot de Luxe, according to the guide.
Promising none of the usual faddy pre-starters and pre-desserts, these are unpretentious and lively places that make a virtue of straightforward cooking. And the good news is they're not confined to London.
As for gastronomic hotspots, the guide confirms that Marlow in Buckinghamshire goes from strength to strength, after the arrival of Aiden Byrne at Danesfield House, while Rick Stein has had to
surrender his crown in Padstow to Paul Ainsworth's No 6.
It also includes introductory features from Gordon Ramsay and John Simpson.
