“Everyone in London was talking about everybody else getting a star. The one name that wasn’t often mentioned was Michael Caines at The Stafford.”

Within months of opening, the restaurant won the first Michelin star in The Stafford’s 103-year history. ⭐

A year on, Michael reflects on the cultural shift behind the success — and why James Willis already has two stars in his sights.

“You can’t just throw the towel in and say that’s it.”

After the 2021 fire that tore through The Star Inn at Harome, Andrew Pern never considered walking away.

Five years on, the pub still holds its Michelin star and has been named AA Restaurant of the Year for England.

This Michelin-starred pub fire got so hot it popped corks and cooked the wine inside sealed bottles 40 metres away. 🔥🍷

Andrew Pern takes us back to the night The Star Inn at Harome caught fire in 2021 — and reveals just how far the heat travelled through the historic North Yorkshire pub.

It’s one of the most remarkable details from the story of the fire, the closure and the rebuild that brought The Star Inn back.

National Dumpling Day calls for something special 🥟⭐️⭐️

At A.Wong in London, Andrew Wong takes the humble dumpling and pushes it into two-Michelin-star territory.

These signature prawn wontons showcase the precision, technique and bold flavours behind his modern approach to Chinese cuisine — delicate, hand-crafted and unmistakably A.Wong.

Would this be your pick for National Dumpling Day? 👇

It is no secret many people in hospitality in the UK have struggled to keep their businesses afloat in the current climate. Figures show we are losing around four hospitality venues per day.

This year alone has seen a number of high-profile closures, from Michelin-starred restaurants to iconic neighbourhood establishments, who had been part of their community for decades.

What are your best memories of these restaurants we have sadly said goodbye to in 2026?
