Gourmet Gauge Scoring Update

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you happen to be from. As you know, when we review our eateries, we use our Gourmet Gauge Scale to score them. However, we have recently realised that the more we do, the more similar scores we end up with, and if we continue, we could end up with numerous identical scores. So we have decided that rather than ranking taste, presentation, ambience, service & value for money on a scale of 5, we would increase this to a scale of 10. This means that each venue will be scored out of 50 rather than 25. You can check out the criteria below.

What this means is that over the coming month or so, we will backtrack through all the reviews to update their scores. During this period, no new reviews will go up. The only content that will be going up is regarding our upcoming Mediterranean cruise.
