Restaurants received zero to three stars for the quality of their food, based on five criteria including the quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in his cuisine, value for money and consistency between visits.

Inspectors did not consider the decor of the restaurant or service quality when awarding stars, but these qualities were indicated by the number of "covers" a venue received, represented by the fork and spoon symbol.

Of the eight restaurants with Three Stars, five are located in London. The restaurants Fat Duck in Bray, L’Enclume in Cartmel and the Waterside Inn in Bray were also awarded the highest number of Michelin Stars.

Twenty new restaurants in the UK were awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand status last week for "delicious but budget" food.

The mark of quality means the eateries are offering more affordable prices than some of the higher end gourmet restaurants but still service delicious food.

Since 1997 Michelin has been awarding the best value for money restaurants which offer a three course meal at a reasonable price – the Bib Gourmand.
