20 of the UK's best restaurants – as chosen by Britain’s top chefs

Secret gems and neighbourhood hideaways where chefs love to eat: from a cafe lunch in Cornwall to a tasting menu on the Scottish coast SILK ROAD, LONDON SE5_ Chosen by James Cochran, chef-owner, Restaurant 1251_ I’ve lived in south London for 15 years and the neighbourhood restaurant that stands out is Silk Road in Camberwell.
