The Good Food Guide's top British restaurants of 2018
1. Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Cornwall
The Port Isaac seafood restaurant has been crowned number one thanks to Nathan's 'confident cooking' and 'knack for deploying first-rate seafood to its ultimate advantage', scoring a perfect ten for the third year running.
The restaurant is noted for having 'a refreshing lack of pomp' with a tasting menu that is 'ingenious in its simplicity, yet continues to surprise'.
Waitrose & Partners Good Food Guide Editor, Elizabeth Carter noted: 'This is the perfect Good Food Guide restaurant, embodying everything we champion. Expect cooking that is consistently of the highest quality combining the freshest ingredients, from shellfish and fish from sea and estuary, to locally grown fruits and vegetables.'
Commenting on being crowned the GFG's No.1 restaurant yet again, Nathan Outlaw said: 'Learning that we had been placed in the top spot last year and retained a cooking score of 10/10 from the previous year was amazing, but this is just mind-blowing.
'My aim has always been to offer customers food cooked simply but with subtle layers of flavour and to make a visit an experience to remember, for not only the food, but also for the professional and welcoming hospitality our Front of House team provide'

The guide comments that 'L'Enclume delivers a complete package, with unobtrusive but attentive service that underscores the impressive food and drink', noting that chef Simon Rogan 'has achieved something of a miracle.
His farm-to-table operation has influenced chefs right across the country and the guide writes that it's 'beyond dispute that British food owes him a lot'.
Diners can expect dishes such as aged veal in coal oil; native lobster with broad beans and elderflower, and Goosnargh duck with cherries and smoked beetroot.

The restaurant has climbed seven places in the Top 50 since last year, from twelfth place to fifth.
Gareth is commended in the Guide, with Elizabeth Carter saying: 'I was as impressed by the sheer enthusiasm and skill as by the fiercely seasonal Welsh produce which Gareth Ward's industrious kitchen bakes, pickles, ferments, cures and bottles.
'He delivers flavour in small punchy bites. Eighteen courses later, I predict you'll be in complete agreement that this is one of our most brilliant, innovative chefs'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
