The UK's Top New Restaurant Awards 2025: Meet the judges
"Each January, Condé Nast Traveller gets together with its selected judging panel to discuss and debate the merits of a shortlist of restaurants which have opened all across the UK during the previous calendar year. Together, we come up with a list of award-winning restaurants, as well as some special awards given to a handful of impressive people in the industry. In March, we throw a big party to celebrate all the winners."
"Jimi is a multi-award-winning British-Nigerian restaurant critic, food writer and broadcaster. He told us, "In just two years, the UK's Top New Restaurant Awards have already established themselves as a coveted accolade and reliable barometer for all that's exciting in Britain's dining scene. It's a total privilege to get the chance to have some (good-natured) arguments with my fellow judges about who should be part of the class""
The third edition of The UK's Top New Restaurant Awards launches in March 2026 to honour the best new restaurant openings across the UK from 2025. Judging takes place each January when Condé Nast Traveller convenes an 11-member panel of award-winning chefs, restaurant critics, and food and wine writers to debate a shortlist of eligible openings. The panel selects a list of award-winning restaurants plus special awards for notable industry contributors. Winners are announced in March and celebrated at a public awards party. The judging panel for this edition includes prominent chefs, writers and critics.
