The 2008
edition of Michelin's Eating Out in Pubs guide was launched on
Wednesday 5 September, priced at £14.99. The Olive Branch &
Beech House in Clipsham has been selected as the Michelin Pub of the
Year 2008 in Michelin's Eating Out in Pubs guide
This year's
guide includes 564 of the best pubs serving good food in the UK and
Ireland and of these, 76 are new additions.
The guide is
divided into countries and regions and each is preceded by a brief
overview of that area followed by a map showing the location of each pub.
Every pub has
a full page entry with a colour picture and descriptive text giving
an insight into its character. Other essential information includes
opening times, directions, prices, typical dishes and the beer they serve.
All the pubs
in the guide have been selected for the quality of their cooking.
However, a number of them deserve a special mention as they boast at
least one extra quality that makes them particularly special. This
could be the delightful setting, the charm and character, the
excellent service, the overall value for money offered or the
exceptional cooking. To distinguish these pubs we highlight them with
our 'We most liked' Bibendum stamp.
Commenting on
the continuing rise in pub food standards, Derek Bulmer, the guide's
editor said: 'Cooking in British pubs has reached new heights and
there is a huge choice available to diners. Some pubs are taking the
organic route with the help of small, local suppliers while others
focus on regional specialities and long-established local recipes.
Some serve creative, contemporary cooking with more of an
international flavour, but equally there are plenty of places
offering traditional British favourites'.
