Six Of The Best New Restaurants Win Four AA Rosettes

-
And All Outside London

Six restaurants have just been awarded four AA Rosettes, which puts them into the top restaurants in the entire UK Restaurant scene. These are exciting times - all these fine chefs may not be household names or TV celebrities or based in London, but they are superb cooks showing great passion and dedication.

The restaurants winning four AA Rosettes are:

Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey (chef Michael Wignall)

Fischers, Baslow (chef, Max Fischer)

Midsummer House, Cambridge (chef Daniel Clifford)

Paris, Birmingham (chef Patrick McDonald),

Restaurant Michael Deane, Belfast (chef Michael Deane)

Restaurant Sat Bains, Nottingham (chef Sat Bains)

There are now 25 restaurants which hold four AA Rosettes across the UK and Ireland: 20 in England (6 in Central London), two in Scotland, one in the Republic of Ireland, one in Wales; and one in Northern Ireland. These 25 now join the five with 5 AA Rosettes to make up the top restaurants.

Peter Birnie, AA Chief Hotel & Restaurant Inspector says: "We are announcing new AA four rosettes eight months before the next edition of the AA Restaurant Guide, because our recent inspections have confirmed that these restaurants are ready now for this recognition.

"Over the last year these restaurants have shown continued improvement, superb consistent cuisine, and both innovation and classic skills. There is real individual cooking and hands-on chefs in all these kitchens."

Eight restaurants have also been awarded three AA Rosettes:

La Trompette, Chiswick (chef James Bennington)

Maze, London (chef Jason Atherton)

Morgan M, London (chef Morgan Meunier)

The Ledbury, London (chef Brett Anderson)

The Orchid, Torquay (chefs Daniel Kay/Marc Evans)

The new details will appear on the AA's website and will be included in the next edition of the AA Restaurant Guide, published in September 2006. The current guide is available to buy from high street bookshops and from www.theAA.com/bookshop priced at £16.99.
