This year the Michelin Guide UK, which is celebrating 50 years, was unveiled at a ceremony in Manchester’s The Midland Hotel.

A total of 1,162 restaurants were included in the selection, with The Ledbury announced as the Guide’s ninth three Michelin Star Restaurant.

A further six restaurants have been newly awarded two Michelin stars and there are 18 new one-star establishments. Six restaurants were also recognised with a Michelin Green star for their commitment to sustainable gastronomy and 20 restaurants were announced to have received a Bib Gourmand on 29th January, one week prior to the Ceremony.

Cumbria remains blessed with a superb restaurant scene, with two more one Michelin-star restaurants added to its roster. Lake Road Kitchen becomes the third-starred restaurant in Ambleside alone, while Cedar Tree by Hrishikesh Desai sees the eponymous chef awarded again, after holding a star for six years at HRiSHi.

On the other side of the Pennines, mýse brings Michelin star dining to the tiny village of Hovingham. Going straight into the Guide with a Star, it is one of the best openings of the year and the attached bedrooms make it a real destination restaurant.
