Want the App but it doesn’t want me
Good App, Paltry number of restaurants listed.
The restaurant review they have are fine. The number of them is paltry and massively inadequate to be regarded as a usable guide.
Complete waste of money until they put a decent number of reviews on the App.
It is shocking how many establishments that should be in are missing from this Good Food app.
For example, I dined in Lancashire last week at So-Lo. It should be a dead cert to be included, but is not. Only 4 entries in the whole county. Even Moor Hall and Northcote Manor miss the app. Shockingly bad!
GF. You really need to raise your game!

Hi, thanks for leaving a review and sorry that you're disappointed. Given that there has been such a long break since the last book was published, we've had to restart the review process from scratch. We are currently adding approximately 50 reviews every other week, and as these are added you will see coverage across the UK expand and establishments such as the ones you've mentioned included.
Excellent App; Constantly Being Improved
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.

Seriously disappointing
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for leaving a review and I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed. You are right that we are starting from scratch, as many of the reviews featured in the 2020 guide are now over three years old and therefore outdated. As you say we are adding more reviews every week and as these are added you will see more of the traditional guide favourites return.
Horrible
Not a patch on the book

Hi, thanks for leaving your review and I'm sorry to hear you've found the new Good Food Guide overpriced. We're adding around 50 new reviews to the guide every other week and as a member of the Good Food Guide Club you also get access to local guides, exclusive news, offer and member perks. I hope that as more reviews and member perks become available you'll find the new guide excellent value for money.
Search function could be better
It would also be useful to be able to call up new listings added after a specified date.
