The annual event took place on Monday, February 3 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in central London. Hosted by TV presenter Richard Bacon, the Good Food Guide Awards celebrates the best of the British dining scene. Among the many awards handed out at the glitzy ceremony, there were two London restaurants lucky enough to win big.
A post shared by The Good Food Guide (@goodfoodguideuk) The Devonshire took the prize for Best Value Set Menu and The Dover was awarded the Most Beautiful Restaurant. You can see all the winners via The Good Food Guide. The Devonshire in Soho earned the award for Best Value Set Menu for serving three courses for £29 making it the "bargain of the year".
Self-described as a "classic London pub", the Soho spot serves homemade bar food from the in-house butcher and bakery. The Devonshire offers a traditional pub downstairs and the Wood Elm Grill restaurant and dining rooms upstairs. A post shared by Devonshire Soho (@devonshiresoho) In the restaurant, meals include Scottish beef that's dry-aged and butchered on-site, langoustines from Oban and lobster and scallops from Devon.
