Great Food Club is a platform where you can find the best independent food and drink restaurants in the East Midlands. Founded in 2010 and based in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, our selection process is based on merit. Businesses are recommended only if they meet the criteria of being worthy of recommendation to friends. Reviewers assess each business before inclusion and can remove them if necessary.

Businesses can join Great Food Club for free online, with an optional fee for inclusion in the printed Handbook. Members have the option to provide exclusive offers to Great Food Club members. Annual awards are announced in October, and the Handbook is published each January. Great Food Club also distributes a weekly newsletter and provides social media updates.
