Want to know how your favourite restaurant can win the F Word gong? Here are the judging criteria

Once the nomination closing date is reached a panel (consisting of Gordon Ramsay, a representative of Channel 4 and a senior member of The F Word's production team) will assess the nominees and create a shortlist of restaurants that will be featured on the television programme. The decision on who goes on this list is final.

These are the criteria that will be used – in addition to looking at how many nominations each restaurant has received – to judge which nominated restaurants will be invited to take part in the show:

We're looking for restaurants that best satisfy these criteria:
