Bib Gourmands are awarded to restaurants recognised for offering "exceptionally good food at moderate prices”. The price limit in the UK is £28 for three courses and €40 in Ireland.

This year’s guide sees 27 restaurants awarded new Bib Gourmands, there were 10 for London and included Kiln, Adam Handling's The Frog E1 and Galvin Green Man. Hot newcomers in the north of England, Skosh in York and Joro in Sheffield were also awarded Bib Gourmands.
