The gold seal is described by the Good Food Awards as 'revered': "It is a true mark of distinction", a spokesperson said.

It is given to eateries which have achieved consecutive Good Food Award success over the last three years, in what the award organisers describe as "a testament to their continued recognition by the customers they serve".

Awards are decided through a few different factors - they take into account customer feedback and online reviews, as well as official data such as food hygiene ratings.
