The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2012 will be available in
bookshops from Friday 7 October, priced at £14.99 (€17.99 in Ireland).
This year’s guide sees the first British pub to be awarded two Michelin stars. The Hand and Flowers in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, was opened by Tom and Beth Kerridge in 2005 and received its first Michelin star the following year.

Editor Rebecca Burr said “This is a good news story for the British pub industry and confirms our view that pubs serving good food are the ones that continue to thrive. In the 2012 guide we are delighted to have 13 pubs with Michelin stars”.

At the Hand and Flowers, Tom’s cooking has risen to new heights. His dishes are
sophisticated yet familiar, and are a perfect match for the relaxed surroundings of his charming pub.

The second restaurant to be promoted to two star level in the 2012 edition of the guide is Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham. Sat’s cooking has always been original and creative and now focus has been added to the flair. The restaurant gained its first star in 2003.

The Michelin star is an indication for restaurants with excellent cuisine and a proper service in the famous Red Guide of the tire manufacturer Michelin. A limited number of best restaurants in each guide is indicated by one, two or three stars.
