Every listing goes through the same three steps.
Independent spots that locals and trusted food writers keep recommending. No big chains.
The order the kitchen does best, at a price that makes sense.
Price and halal status get a "last checked" date.
Nobody can pay to change which dish we pick.

UK Food Spot is a small team led by a working chef in the UK. We know how a kitchen makes a dish properly, and how it feels to spend money on the wrong order.
So this guide does one job: tell you the best thing to eat at each place, and what it costs. If something on a listing is wrong, tell us and we fix it.
Our kitchen roots are in a culture where you never let a guest leave hungry. That idea is part of this guide too: honest prices, food for every diet, and a little kept aside for whoever needs it.
Three new dishes every Friday, all under £10. One email, no spam, unsubscribe any time.
You'll get one email to confirm. Unsubscribe any time.
No. Dishes marked "Halal (reported)" were described as halal by a published guide. Always ask the restaurant if it matters to you; we show when each status was last checked.
We only mark a place "Fully gluten-free" when a coeliac-focused guide lists it as fully gluten-free. Kitchens and suppliers change, so always confirm with the venue before you order. Look for Coeliac UK accreditation where you can.
At places with the "Pay it forward" label, you can pay for one extra meal when you order. The restaurant keeps it for the next person who asks. If you need one, take a tag from the board (or ask at the counter) and hand it in. One per person per visit. You don't have to explain.
See a wrong price? Open the dish and tap "Price changed? Tell us". Each dish shows when it was last checked. Prices in London change often, so treat them as a guide and check the menu on the day.
No. Listing is free. If we ever run paid features, they will be clearly marked "Sponsored" and will still go through the same checks.
Right now, we don't. UK Food Spot is free, with no ads and no paid placements. If that ever changes, anything paid will be clearly labelled, and it will never change which dish we pick.
Use the restaurant form on our partners page, or tell us through the newsletter reply. We fix errors as soon as we can.
