I much prefer the Michelin restaurants outside of London because they are the perfect excuse to take a day trip out to enjoy what the English countryside has to offer, and their meals are generally very value for money without being too theatrical or pompous. Just good ol' fresh ingredients, cooked really well and served in decent portions that would keep the men happy.
Date of Visit: 31 May 2014
First up is Holbeck Ghyll, the Michelin restaurant in a small hotel of the same name seated atop a hill with lush and tranquil surroundings. It's the perfect kind of place for a getaway and to have the full experience of warm British hospitality. It's also the one place that I confidently recommend to friends who are making a trip down to the Lake District, because I know the quality of their food and hospitality is consistently good. If I were having my future wedding in the UK this would definitely be a top contender but too bad I have no such budget for that haha. Okay enough talking, time to share the good stuff!
