GUIDES

Food & Drink is the country's leading publisher of eating-out guides. With over 12 years' experience in producing high-quality, free-to-pick-up regional publications, we are the obvious choice when it comes to marketing your establishment.

• Food & Drink is the official eating-out publication for many tourist boards and county councils.


• We print a minimum of 50,000 copies of each of our regional guides, with over 1.7 million printed on an annual basis.


• Food & Drink is the only guide to quantify the response it generates. 084 telephone numbers (charged at local rates) enable us to track the number of calls made to each featured establishment.
