Welcome to Major Foodie

Richard Bagnold is one of the very few people – if not the only person – to have visited and reviewed every Michelin starred restaurant in the UK (2019).

This website is dedicated to great food and fine dining experiences, and sharing those with anyone interested in the same thing.

All Richard’s reviews reflect his own honest and independent opinions.

A quality return to @QualityChop for supper last night including very good pastry for the onion tart main with lovely honey, caramel and apple sticky dressing to balance the egg - good show. pic.twitter.com/nuDXcJlHWs

Interesting article in @TheWeekUK regarding “The rise and fall of the French restaurant” | Whether you agree or not, there may be something inside you might not have known: pic.twitter.com/ESvLP4wtjp

Best bits of my recent lunch at Gezellig in Holborn: pic.twitter.com/C2Gde8typ9

The island of Læsø’s restaurant gem, Vesterøl: unassuming, homely, and with some darn good seafood (pic 3 = a very good catfish dish). Very lucky gaining the table through a cancellation as booked out solid until October | Head Chef (also pic 3): Thomas Wetle Anderson pic.twitter.com/kNoZXoalJB

On a Danish island with a population of a mere 1,800, it’s very nice to see vegetables being left out on tables to be bought with an honesty box on the table for leaving change / payment | #Læsø pic.twitter.com/RjhPk8zO9g

About Me

meMy hobby-turned-passion began to evolve during my assignments to London where I was fortunate enough to be able to explore all the Michelin starred restaurants in my spare time and as a result, I gradually built up a catalogue of all these venues.
