How the lists are made.

Who is listed

A business appears only if it has its own website and a social media profile on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. Food businesses with an “Improvement Required” outcome under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme are left out.

How they are ordered

For food businesses, a Pass comes first, most recent inspection first. Then the number of social platforms a business is on, then its name. The rule is the same on every list, and a list is only published once ten businesses meet the rule.

What it is not

It is not a review of food, service or value, and nobody can pay to appear or move up.
