This year’s Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland has been released - and some Buckinghamshire restaurants 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.

Here are all the restaurants which have at least one Michelin star in Buckinghamshire in the 2022 run. 

Buckinghamshire Michelin star restaurants in 2022

Two-Michelin starred restaurants in Buckinghamshire

Hand and Flowers

Where: 126 West Street, Marlow, SL7 2BP, United Kingdom

Cuisine: Modern British

Head Chef: Tom De Keyser

The guide says: "Tom Kerridge’s flagship restaurant sits within this characterful beamed pub; now a world-renowned institution. Find a spot in the comfortable bar or out on the terrace and choose from a dazzling array of drinks – including their own light beer – then head through to the quirky dining room divided by period beams and pillars.
"Food is based around pub classics but those classics are elevated to new heights and are among the best in the UK. The sourcing of ingredients is given due reverence and execution is skilful and confident, while the dishes themselves are characterised by rich, powerful flavours – and the presentation is first-rate. Desserts are a real highlight and you’ll always find a soufflé on the list. For those who want to make a night of it, luxurious bedrooms are dotted about the town."

One-Michelin starred restaurants in Buckinghamshire

The Coach

Where: 3 West Street, Marlow, SL7 2LS, United Kingdom

Cuisine: Modern British

Head Chef: Sarah Hayward 

The guide says: "It’s set just down the road from its bigger sister, the Hand and Flowers, and its more relaxed and informal style offers a pleasing contrast; with its charming staff, tasty cooking and reasonable prices, this is a pub which will appeal to everyone. 
"The menu sets out its stall with headings of ‘Meat’, ‘No Meat’ and ‘Sweet’; the carefully prepared, unfussy pub dishes are starter-sized, so order a couple each and maybe a side to share and you’ll still have room for dessert. Choices might include duck liver parfait, cottage pie and The Coach profiteroles, and although dishes are simple to look at, they are bursting with punchy flavours. Same day bookings are now taken – and first-come-first-served breakfasts are available at the weekend."

Artichoke

Where: 9 Market Square, Amersham, HP7 0DF, United Kingdom

Cuisine: Modern British

Chef: Laurie Gear

The guide says: "Artichoke is located in a 16C red-brick house set at the centre of a picturesque town. It’s a bijou place, with a heavily timbered interior and a contemporary, design-led style. The narrow, beamed main room leads through a second more modern room with a semi-open kitchen and glass screens etched with branches – and neutral shades give it a laid-back, ‘natural’ feel.
"Self-taught chef-owner Laurie Gear has completed stages at The Fat Duck and Noma and, along with head chef Ben Jenkins, brings his experiences together in an array of menus. Accomplished modern British dishes are confidently prepared and well-measured flavour combinations have an understated complexity. The English larder is kept to the fore: lamb is reared locally, venison is from the Woburn Estate and seafood from Brixham is a particular highlight."
