Village Vicar -
Do you mean to tell me the Health Department doesn't inspect the restaurants in the UK??? That is scary!!!
Here in Chattanooga, our NBC Channel 3 announces some of the ones inspected during the week and tells you their rating number - I thought you might like to look at the list:

Right now we don't have a real "country cooking" restaurant that I would recommend here - but I always keep my eye out for one and will be sure to report back to you on it!!!
I do like a Chinese buffet called Chef Linn best for Chinese right now - and in the same location is Provino's Italian Restaurant that I used to love but stopped going because it was always a long wait and I am not a patient person:)
