Sorted! I cheated and used Google to find the phrase.

The second two are just as loose as the first to me Phil but thanks.
Where is the forum discussion of the Guardian Prize?

@quocunque, the Guardian prize is discussed under the Guardian 29,362 thread

Thanks Ian. I was looking for it under Guardian Prize which is what used to be called in my recollection.

Despite the hints from teewens 15d has me completely stumped. I may have my crossers wrong, but there isn't a word/s for the definition apart from the definition itself. I could muster a restaurant in many areas but not the other way around. (not sure I understand 1 1 3 personal) Any further pointers much appreciated.

Hi fernie
It's a poor clue. It parses 4,1,1,3.
The 4 is a very loose synonym for "punch", then A and a single letter abbreviation for "tenor", used in a particular context. The 3 refers to "personal".
Definition is a name for an area in several cities where a number of similar restaurants might be found.

Try stroking your chin!

Thanks Chris. I had two probs ... my 20a was incorrect, and there are at least 2 other synonyms for punch which has identical crossers. The correct one I hadn't thought of.

Got it now, just a quick revisit of 20a and I'm done.

Ha! Tyke.

Strange how disappointing it is to complete the puzzle. Gotta wait now.

Hi Fernie,
Hope I didn't spoil the puzzle for you! I only had the hints to go on as I didn't know the actual clue - probably helps when you have no distractions!
