Top 500 Restaurants: Important Notes
1) Should a restaurant change chef too close to the publication of The Which? Good Food
Guide then the mark for the year is zero. This clearly affects a number of restaurants and
would not be apparent from the raw data. For example, Chewton Glenn is affected in the
2004 list in this way and could therefore be considered under-rated.
2) The AA Guide too offers no rating on a restaurant for the year for similar or other
unstated reasons. This has affected, for example, Petrus, Tom Aikens and Berkeley
Square Cafe in London.
3) Some restaurants decline inclusion in the Guides. We see no other explanation for the
absence of Mallory Court in Bishops Tatchbrook from the list - an establishment, well
known to us, with a Michelin Star, but with no entries in either of the other two Guides.
4) The range of inclusion is the maximum mark of 58 points to a minimum entry level of 12
points.
5) Restaurant Gordon Ramsey in Royal Hospital Road is the only restaurant to achieve
maximum marks from all Guides.
6) Two other restaurants with a Michelin Star fail to make the Top 500 list. These are The
Black Pig in Rock and Ballachullish House in Ballachullish. Neither appear in the Which?
