25 restaurants across the UK are up for this year’s Independent Restaurant of the Year Award. Included from London & Greater London are:
- Brockley’s Rock, London
- Located in South-East London, Brockley's Rock aims to bring their delicious, sustainable Fish and Chips for all Brockley residents to enjoy.
- Gracey’s Pizza, St Alban’s, Greater London
o Cosy family-run pizza joint, serving American-style pizza. They use a blend of high-protein bread flour mixed with a locally milled flour from Redbournbury Mill, fermenting the dough in two stages and baking the pizzas at lower temps to achieve a light and crispy base.
- CRUNCH, London
- Starting late 2022 in a local Shoreditch pub, their team has built nearly everything from scratch, from storage shelves to sandwiches. Specialising in home-made and hearty sandwiches, there is craft and dedication behind every sando.
- Papos Bagels, London
- The lovechild of two New Yorkers with food and service industry backgrounds, Papo’s was born out of the singular desire to find proper bagels in London. Run entirely by the couple from start to finish and offering cream cheese and smoked salmon alongside the seven bagel flavours, you can have a little slice of New York for breakfast—or lunch, or dinner, or all of the above.
- Los Mochis, London
- Los Mochis delivers a unique dining experience, fusing the vibrant warmth of Mexican cuisine with the refined elegance of Japanese culinary traditions. The result is an exciting menu featuring fresh sashimi, maki rolls, ceviches, tiraditos, and unique tacos, crafted with a focus on high-quality, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients.
Customer votes will determine x5 Regional Restaurant of the Year winners who will be automatically entered into the final shortlist for Independent Restaurant of the Year won by Yeeros in Dublin last year, judged by an expert panel.
To mark the return of the 2025 Restaurant Awards, the delivery app has recruited a guest judge with arguably one of the most discerning palates on the planet - Celebrity Masterchef finalist, TV personality, culinary school graduate, and the daughter of multi-Michelin star restaurant royalty, Tilly Ramsay - who has been enlisted to judge the coveted Independent Restaurant of the Year Award and the Rising Star Award, a new title for 2025.
In new imagery released today, Tilly is seen sitting upon a teal and gold throne with embossed culinary equipment as she prepares for her role crowning the top local restaurant title in a modern-meets-baroque setting. Surrounded by a banquet of delicious Deliveroo dishes, from burgers to bagels, salads to sushi and everything in between, Tilly is seen taste-testing the dishes in practice for her newly appointed role as judge.
She sits alongside a panel of experts that include Deliveroo’s CEO and Founder Will Shu and esteemed food critic and returning judge, Jimi Famurewa - making her the awards’ youngest ever judge.
There are 65 award categories in total, including 50 regional cuisine-led awards and the coveted Independent Restaurant of the Year award. This year sees the introduction of several new categories - Lifetime Achievement, Changing the Game, Role Model and Rising Star (see notes to Editors for more information)
Tilly Ramsay said: “I can’t wait to take my taste buds on a tour as I rate some of the most loved local eats from around the UK and Ireland as part of the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards. The shortlist of restaurants looks epic and I'm excited to get stuck into deliberating the dishes for the top title, Independent Restaurant of the Year, with my co-judges.
“It’s also a huge honour to be supporting the next generation of restaurateur talent as part of the Rising Star award - as a recent culinary school graduate and someone still early in my career, it feels very special to celebrate new and exceptional talent in the food industry!”
On recruiting Tilly Ramsay as the newest Deliveroo Restaurant Awards judge, Will Shu, CEO & Founder at Deliveroo, said: “The Deliveroo Restaurant Awards is about championing the local restaurants who provide incredible selection and quality food in their communities. These restaurants are the beating heart of our towns and cities, and they obsess over making sure every food delivery is a special moment for our customers - that’s something worth celebrating.
We’re excited to have Tilly Ramsay join our judging panel this year - whilst her family history has no doubt helped hone her tastes, it’s great to be working with the next generation of food talent. Make sure you vote for your favourite restaurants if you want to see them take home a title.”
Takeaway fans can cast their vote for UK and Ireland’s most loved restaurants in their local area at deliveroorestaurantawards.com between 14th April and 9th May 2025, with voting closing on 9th May at 11:59PM.
