Our mission is remarkably simple. To tell it how it is!
The annual Michelin awards on Monday night sprinkled stars liberally over some – led by the Brett Graham, whose Ledbury achieved a coveted third star in its 19th year – while disappointing others: most pointedy the tyre men’s host for the evening, Manchester’s Midland Hotel, which lost its star back in 1975 and has never regained it.
