Top 100 Restaurants 2025
CREAM OF THE CROP
The UK's leading independent
restaurant guide, SquareMeal, has
announced the best restaurants that
the UK has to offer. Its Top 100 is
the only list of its kind to exclude
London's restaurants allowing the
wider UK's dining scene to truly
shine.
Using a combination of thousands
of reader votes and SquareMeal's
own expert critics, the UK Top 100
Restaurants list is a true reflection
of Britain's beautifully varied dining
scene.
Birmingham leads the way with
five restaurants in the list, including
two in the top 10 in 2022 champion
Grace & Savour, and two Michelinstarred
Opheem. This year's highest
new entry in the UK Top 100 is Tom
Barnes' magnificent Manchester
restaurant Skof, which heads up a
big year for Manchester, with Higher
Ground, Another Hand, and The
Sparrows all representing the city
in the list. A special mention goes to
this year's highest riser, Kevin Tickle's
Heft in Cumbria, which blew us away
this year and jumped 54 spots from
72 last year to 18 in 2025.
In the UK, the number one spot
for 2025 goes to Restaurant Sat
Bains, where chef Sat Bains and his
team deliver an exceptional dining
experience. Chef Sat Bains says,
"We are honoured to place top in
this brilliant list of restaurants. We
strive for both consistency and
relevance, continuously innovating
what we do and how we do it to be
the best we can, spotlighting some
of the country's best produce in all
its glory. After 25 years of dedication
to our concept and little pocket
of Nottingham we are of course
humbled to place No1 in the UK."

Tom Parker Creamery's Flavoured
Milks are a natural choice to help
your body recharge, rehydrate and
rebuild after a walk or workout.
Use them to skip the powders
and artificial shakes and don't
compromise on taste or quality.
Bursting with goodness, these
are made from free range British
whole milk and only natural
ingredients. From vibrant strawberry
and creamy banana real fruit puree
to authentic raw cacao, there isn't an
artificial sweetener in sight.
Whether you're training for a
marathon, or you just love staying
active, whole milk is the ideal
recovery aid. It offers natural
goodness such as proteins for muscle
repair, healthy fats for sustained
energy, and carbohydrates to restore
glycogen. It's also packed with
naturally occurring electrolytes, like
calcium and potassium, which aid
rehydration, while vitamins D and B12
support overall recovery and reduce
inflammation.

Flavoured Milks are a quick and
delicious way to get all the good stuff
