The 2018 Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland has been announced, with sixteen new one-star entries this year and Claude Bosi’s latest venture Bibendum rocketing straight into the select group of two Michelin-starred restaurants. There was also the rare announcement of a new three-star establishment – The Araki, which received two stars last year, now joins the four other restaurants in the UK to hold the coveted position.
2017 has seen quite a few Michelin star chefs open new restaurants, and their hard work was well rewarded. Phil Howard and Michael Caines both won a star for their respective restaurants Elystan Street and Lympstone Manor.
Other notable wins include A Wong in London, where head chef Andrew Wong won a star for his incredible Chinese cuisine. Mark Birchall also gained recognition for his ambitious project Moor Hall in Lancashire, while Fred Clapperton clinched a star for The Clock House (formerly Drakes).
