The 10 regional winners will go head-to-head to compete for the overall Restaurant of the Year title, which will be awarded on 9 June at a ceremony at the British Museum.

Elizabeth Carter, editor, The Good Food Guide, said:  "All of the restaurants that made it on to this year's shortlist should be really proud of the show of support they've received from their customers.

"Last years winner, ramsons in Ramsbottom, is an extraordinary restaurant, and this year sees another string of extremely strong entries. It'll now be a really tough decision for the judges to crown the overall winner."
