"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.”
The winners of the awards will be announced on Deliveroo's social media channels on May 28, 2025.
