The Good Food Guide
Discussion
Anyone here a signed up member since it changed its format to online subscription only? Is it worth it?
Used to use its free online function to find decent restaurants/pubs with rooms as stopovers on various UK trips as often had a different mix than the Michelin guide site (admittedly both can be a bit hit and miss!) and used to get the paper version too when it was pulished by Waitrose.
Now all that's gone so i'm dependent on the Michelin website/book (AA rosettes i find very dubious - any organization that gives rosettes to a holiday inn restaurant in the UK raises eyebrows (Some Holiday Inn/Forte posthouses actually had great restaurants, such as Norwich about 20-25 years ago when i was a kid, before they all became generic bidfood/brakes ping chefs) and they have no online guide and have never bothered to get the book for the AA) or i use hardens or estrella dam, bu the latter 2 (especially ED) have very small lists.
