Good Food Guide 4+

If You search e.g. East Sussex, you get listed restaurants in East Sussex plus every listed restaurant that includes the word “east”. Can you please restrict the search function to find only the combination of words specified.

It would also be useful to be able to call up new listings added after a specified date.

Hi, thanks for leaving your review and for you comments regarding the search function of the app, they're very helpful! If you'd be happy to please could you contact us at enquiries@thegoodfoodguide.co.uk? As we'd love to ask you some more questions about how we could improve the app.

I gave the GFG a four star review when it was still very young, because I felt it was worth crowd-funding it. Now, I think it’s still worth four stars, but that’s partly because I can’t think of any app that does the job better. I’ve still got grumbles, though. The editorial content from the weekly newsletters ought to be available to subscribers through the app. Coverage is still patchy. And I really, really dislike the recently added ‘Local Gems’ category. ‘Local’ is meaningless. And if a restaurant is not categorised as ‘World Class’, ‘Exceptional’, ‘Very Good’ or ‘Good’, then what on earth is a ‘Gem’? Is the category just a dumping ground for places that are ‘Not Good’, or that have been recommended by the owners’ mates but not been visited by an inspector? It feels a bit slapdash.

Hi Anne, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear you're happy with your decision to take out a Good Food Guide Club membership. I'm pleased to inform you that we are currently working on making the editorial content on the website accessible through the app. Please keep an eye out for this update.

I subscribed to the App as soon as it was launched. The reviews are excellent and are constantly being updated and new restaurants added. There are still a lot of top restaurants for the reviewers to visit but approximately 50 are added every fortnight.

Since the launch I have eaten at a number of the restaurants including six in Norfolk last week. I can confirm that the reviews are very accurate and ensured that we had a top quality meal every night of our holiday.

The only improvement I could suggest would be that the search function could show the restaurants closest to a place name e.g. a search for Hunstanton returns no restaurants whereas a search for Norfolk or North Norfolk will show several close by.

The App is highly recommended and pays for itself very quickly. No one wants to have a disappointing meal particularly if it is for a special occasion!

With the App being constantly updated new restaurants can be highlighted to subscribers immediately rather than having to wait for the next printed version of the guide.

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to submit a review. We're so pleased to hear you enjoy using the new format of the guide and that you've already had many great meals out from it! Also our search function has now been updated.
