Just announced, FWIW.
Good to see a northwest restaurant topping the list for the second year. In fact, good to see how many “not in London” places there are
The top ten:
Moor Hall, Aughton
Angel, Hetton (really? someone’s having a laff)
Core by Clare Smyth, London
House of Tides, Newcastle
L’Enclume, Cartmel
Sabor , London
Brat, London
A Wong, London

Black Swan Oldstead
