On 19 July 2008 Weekend Magazine is producing a special “Battle of the Chefs” Summer Food and Drink Special, offering you a premium, attractive environment in which to promote your products and services.

The ‘Battle of the Chefs’ special puts 5 of the UK’S top restaurants head-to-head. The head chefs from The Fat Duck, Gordon Ramsay at Royal Hospital Road, St John, Hakkasan and Le Gavroche will each provide a 4-course summer menu. Readers will cast their votes online as to which menu they like best with their reasons why. The restaurant with the most votes wins.

Guardian News and Media reaches one in ten UK adults every week.
Guardian Weekend readers are hard to reach, 75% do not read a specialist food magazine.

Four out of five don’t read another Saturday title, making Weekend the perfect choice to communicate your food and drink and lifestyle advertising.

Guardian Weekend readers are discerning food and drink consumers, being more likely than readers of other quality Saturday magazines to agree with the statements:

• It’s worth paying more for organic food
• I’m prepared to pay more for good quality wine
• I like to try new recipes
• I talk to many different people about food
• It’s worth paying extra for a good pint
• Our family spends a lot on food
  

With its track record of superb food editorial, Guardian Weekend attracts readers who are discerning food and drink lovers who enjoy cooking,

trying out new recipes and, in particular, eating out. They also spend more than the average UK adult on groceries every week.
