Why we started
We got tired of choosing dinner from a wall of 4.6s. Online ratings tell you a place is liked; they rarely tell you why, or whether you would like it. Professional guides are excellent but cover a fraction of where people actually eat on a normal week. We wanted something in between: a reviewer's judgement, with the maths printed so readers can check it.
How we stay independent
- We pay for every meal, drink and tip, and book under ordinary names.
- We carry no advertising from restaurants, booking platforms or delivery apps.
- We use no affiliate booking links, so we earn nothing when you reserve a table.
- Contributors declare any personal connection to a venue and are taken off that review.
- We do not accept invitations to launches, press dinners or "friends and family" nights.
How the site is funded
WalnutRallyBungalow is owned and funded by Walnut Rally Bungalow Media Ltd, a small independent publisher. Our budget pays for meals and for contributors' time. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes: a price, an opening hour, a chef's name. Write to [email protected] and we will fix factual errors quickly and note the change at the foot of the review.
