Americans and Australians have voted the UK as having the worst local food, according to a survey.

Visitors from the US and Australia, as well as Norway, were the least keen on British cuisine, the poll by Hotels.com found.

In contrast, Britons voted the US as the best for family dining, the best for value and the best for street food.

Fish and chips topped the list of dishes that Britons thought overseas visitors should try on trips to the UK.

This was followed by the traditional roast dinner and the full English breakfast.

The poll showed that Britons travelling abroad particularly liked Italian and Thai food.
