How we picked

We start from every card we hold in United Kingdom, keep those that suit people who spend on dining, and rank them on estimated first-year value for a typical people who spend on dining profile: rewards from the card's earn rates, plus a welcome offer the page can print, minus the annual fee. A card whose annual fee we cannot state ranks after every card whose fee we can. Nothing here is pay-to-rank. Business cards appear only on business guides, student cards only on student guides, and prepaid cards on none. A figure we do not hold is shown as β€œNot confirmed”, never as a zero.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the best credit card for people who spend on dining in United Kingdom?

The best card for people who spend on dining in United Kingdom depends on your exact spending and credit. The shortlist above holds 8 cards for this profile, each chosen because it fits people who spend on dining: cards with elevated earn on restaurants, takeout, and food delivery β€” for people whose social life runs through dining out, with rewards that stack on delivery-app credits.

How did you choose these cards for people who spend on dining?

We start from every card we hold in United Kingdom, keep those that suit people who spend on dining, and rank them on estimated first-year value for a typical people who spend on dining profile: rewards from the card's earn rates, plus a welcome offer the page can print, minus the annual fee. A card whose annual fee we cannot state ranks after every card whose fee we can. Nothing here is pay-to-rank.

Why do some cards show no annual fee figure?

Because we hold no confirmed figure for it. Our fee column used to default to zero, and many cards still carry a zero that no check has confirmed β€” so a zero on its own cannot be told apart from a field nobody filled in, and printing β€œΒ£0” there would invent a price. A card shows a fee where a positive one is on record, or where a zero was confirmed against the issuer's terms; otherwise the slot reads β€œNot confirmed”, and the issuer's own page is the place to check before you apply.

How are these cards ranked?

By that estimated value, computed by the same rules for every card, with one adjustment: a card that matches this guide's goal gains 15% of its estimated value (at least 25) in the ordering, so it can rank above a card with a higher estimated value. The figure printed on each pick is the estimate itself, without that adjustment. Our methodology page sets the rules out in full. Each card's review page marks which of its figures a published document states.
