A food guide has revealed a growing trend in cheap and cheerful restaurants in the UK.

Published in the Waitrose and Partners Good Food Guide 2020, nearly one third of Britains best restaurants are budget with menus priced at thirty quid or less, according to the celebrated dining handbook.

Alongside all the big haute hitters, more than 350 of the 1,200 named restaurants were independents and small chains.

The guide, which has been published since 1951, awarded Simon Rogans LEnclume in Cartmel, Cumbria, as its top restaurant.

Pam Bruton was awarded chef of the year at Inver in Strachur, Argyll and Bute and top prize, Restaurant of the Year, went to The Mash Inn in Radnage, in county Bucks.

Speaking of the results, the guides editor Elizabeth Carter said: With diners increasingly looking for flexible eating options and value for money, there has been a surge in inexpensive cafes and restaurants that rank quality of ingredients above all else.

Small, owner-run dining rooms across the country provide clear examples of how they can and do work in direct opposition to the pizza-burger overload on the British high street.
