Restaurant of the Year How to nominate

The Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year Award recognises excellence and good service at restaurants, pubs and cafes throughout the UK.

The nomination period for The Good Food Guide's Readers’ Restaurant of the Year Awards has now closed.

Between 13th February and 23rd April 2012 members of the public were invited to nominate their favourite, independently owned establishments, preferably those that offer regional dishes and use local produce. Find out about last year's winners.

There were two methods for diners to nominate restaurants for The Good Food Guide Readers' Restaurant of the Year Award:

1. Via The Good Food Guide's online feedback form.

2. Restaurateurs could download artwork for the official postcard (pictured) to print. Diners must complete the postcard and send it to The Good Food Guide.

All those who nominate a restaurant are entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a meal for two.
