This year’s Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland has been released - and some restaurants in Worcestershire made the list.

The list provides all the restaurants that have received and retained a Michelin star this year.

The Michelin Guide is produced by the French tyre company Michelin, which has been going since 1904 and can award up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments.

In this year's list, there are 19 new one stars, 5 new two stars and 1 new three-starred restaurant across the country.

Here are all the Worcestershire restaurants which are featured in the Michelin Star Guide in the 2022 run. 

Worcestershire Michelin star restaurant in 2022

One-Michelin starred restaurants in Worcestershire

Pensons - Tenbury Wells

Location: Pensons Yard, Netherwood Estate, Stoke Bliss, Tenbury Wells, WR15 8RT

Cuisine: Modern Cuisine

The guide says: “The 1,200 acre Netherwood Estate sits on the Worcestershire-Herefordshire border and plays host to this delightfully restored barn overlooking arable farmland. Old agricultural artefacts unearthed during its restoration adorn the walls and, while the interior is design-led, it also has a certain rustic charm.
"As much as possible is sourced from the estate: the fabric for the napkins and chair-coverings is woven in the on-site mill; veg is grown in the kitchen garden; and apples, rapeseed oil, flour and honey all come from the grounds. The concise, daily changing menu comprises classically inspired dishes with modern overtones and an unfussy, pared-back style: flavour is to the fore, contrasts are sophisticated and there’s good balance between the courses. The delicious bread is a must and service is endearing.”

The Inn at Welland - Welland

Location: Hook Bank, Welland, WR13 6LN

Cuisine: Modern British

The guide says: “Take in delightful views of the Malvern Hills from the charming terrace of this country inn or, cosy up inside, in the understated New England style dining room. Well-presented modern dishes show plenty of flair and deliver punchy flavours, and there’s a wide choice of wines by the glass.”
