Discover the Gloucestershire restaurants with Michelin Stars and new Michelin Green Stars in 2021.
After a devastating year for the hospitality industry and an unprecedented three-month delay in the Michelin Star announcements, the brand-new
Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2021 has just been published on Monday 25 January 2021, in a new digital-only format.
While the publishing of the guide usually sees some of Gloucestershire’s best restaurants awarded a fresh constellation of coveted Michelin Stars, local foodies might be a little disappointed to see that not much has changed for the county in the 2021 edition of the world-famous gastronomic guide.
Restaurants including The Black Swan at Oldstead, Coombeshead Farm, Where the Light Gets In (pictured), Restaurant Sat Bains, and L’Enclume are among 23 places to be awarded a Michelin green star in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain & Ireland 2021.
Oxford city has lost its only Michelin star, however.
Two One Five, previously known as Oxford Kitchen, in Banbury Road, Summertown had held a star for two years, though was awarded a coveted Michelin Plate for good cooking. Praising Two One Five, which is run by chef Paul Welburn, the guide says: The long, narrow room has a laid-back vibe but you’ll feel passion and intensity coming from the kitchen. Menus change with the seasons and reassuring combinations deliver on sophistication and execution. Mr Welburn thanked the Michelin Guide for including his highly-acclaimed restaurant, saying: Great to be included in the Michelin Guide. After the change around, name rebrand and the tough time the industry is going through, to open Two One Five and get the Michelin Plate recommendation sets us up for when we reopen again and continue the rebuild.
