Marina O'Loughlin

Marina O'Loughlin is a British journalist, writer and restaurant critic.

She was the regular weekly restaurant reviewer in the London Metro from 2006 to 2012, before moving to The Guardian, where she took over from the somewhat controversial John Lanchester.

She had a monthly travel column in the BBC Olive magazine detailing her food trips to locations including Macau and Glasgow, before moving on to BBC Good Food.[1]

She has also worked on a freelance basis for The Independent [2] and London Evening Standard [3] newspapers and Noble Rot Magazine [4]

She is one of the most decorated restaurant critics working today, having been awarded the Guild of Food Writers' Restaurant Reviewer of the Year twice; once in 2011[5] and again in 2015 [6] as well as Fortnum and Mason awards for Restaurant Writing in 2014[7] and 2015[8] and the prestigious 2015 Press Award for Criticism.[9]

She is thought to be Glaswegian by birth,[10] but now lives with her husband and two children between London and the Isle of Thanet on the Kent Coast.

She was said to be one of the most influential Londoners in the annual Evening Standard "1000 Most Influential People in London" supplement in 2008,[11] and again in 2010 [12] and 2012.[13] She has also made The Sunday Times "Britain's 500 Most Influential" list three years running, from 2014 to 2016.[14][15][16]
