The Good Food Guide

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. The Good Food Guide receives reports from members of the public throughout the year, and it's your list of recommendations that creates the long-list for possible inclusion.
