“Very relaxed fine-dining” is hailed by early fans of this “friendly” small space, which opened on Durham’s Elvet Bridge at the end of 2024. Its formula revolves around a six-course tasting menu for £45 per person, which is “a lot of fun and a lot of care has gone into it”. But it’s not to be taken too seriously – the name of the restaurant means ‘Fuck if I know’ and a recent menu selection included ‘No Pane, No Gain’, ‘The Veal Deal’ and ‘Tirami-Who?’.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
