Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade British food influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the United Kingdom market. Full marks once 80% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the United Kingdom median for a creator’s own size: around 0.9% under 50K followers, around 0.7% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is local, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The British Instagram market behind this ranking

The 25 influencers above against the British Instagram market: each row puts their median next to the market's.

Read the United Kingdom Creator Economy Report - the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with United Kingdom

  • Pink = the 25 food influencers above
  • Grey = a typical British Instagram account with 10K+ followers
  • Each bar is a median, not an average, so one very large account cannot pull a row up

Median British audience share

selected 25 list: 68%
British influencers: 30%

Median engagement rate

selected 25 list: 2.9%
British influencers: 0.79%

Median Reel views per post

selected 25 list: 46,016
British influencers: 5,300

Source: the Click Analytic British market study, measured 2026-09-14. The grey bars are the Instagram accounts with at least 10,000 followers whose creator location is United Kingdom. That population is counted twice by two runs: the market study above and this median run, which agree to within twenty accounts. The bars are rounded because a median found by search is a bracket rather than a point; the pink bars are computed from the 25 cards above.

Why Kathryn Turner is the #1 food creator

Kathryn Turner tops this ranking with a CA Influence Index of 97 (A+), the highest among the selected accounts on this page. The source pool contains 251,450 UK-based Instagram accounts with 10,000+ followers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Six questions on how the UK food list was built and how to read it.

01How were these 25 UK food influencers selected?

We started from 5,701 UK-based Instagram accounts between 10K and 1M followers that name food in their bio. We kept the ones that hold at least 30% of their audience in the UK, engage at 2% or more, read at least 70% real, average 1,000 Reel views and posted in the last 30 days. These 25 rank highest of those on the CA Influence Index.

02Why is the largest account not first?

Ben Slater has the most followers, 447,955, but the Reels reach 0.83 times the following and 32% of the audience sits in the UK, so the index places the account eighteenth. Kathryn Turner leads at A+ 97 from 109,616 followers.

03What does the CA Influence Index measure?

A 0 to 99 score from UK audience share, engagement against the UK median for the account's size, Reel views against followers and audience quality. Size earns nothing on its own: Katie grades A+ 95 from 44,959 followers.

04How much of each audience is actually in the UK?

The median is 68%. FourWallsFarm holds 90%, the highest, and Armand de Lambilly 30%, the lowest. Every account cleared a 30% floor before it was read.

05Who is actually on this list?

Six food professionals, ten reviewers and guides and nine home cooks and family feeds. The professionals include a supermarket product developer, a three-time cookbook author and a clinical nutritionist.

06How current is this data?

Measured in September 2026 from live Click Analytic data. Followers, engagement and audience shares move every week, so check the live profile in the app before briefing anyone.
