More than twenty restaurants in and around Merseyside are featured in the latest edition of the Michelin Guide.
The Guide awards up to three Michelin Stars for excellence to a select few establishments, while it awards Bib Gourmands to choice eateries and recommends others.
Sadly, no restaurants in Merseyside currently have a Michelin Star, however, two eateries in nearby Aughton have one Star, with a third having a whopping two Stars and a Michelin Green Star.
Despite Liverpool being a Michelin Star desert, many restaurants in and around the city are recommended - - such as 8, The Art School, Belzan, Manifest and more - in the prestigious Michelin Guide which is updated monthly..
25. White Swan - Fence, Lancashire
📍300 Wheatley Lane Road, Fence BB12 9QA. ⭐ The Michelin Guide says: "One MICHELIN Star. 📝 The pub formerly known as 'The Mucky Duck' remains a traditional place where you’re guaranteed a laid-back atmosphere and a good pint. The concise menu allows the kitchen to concentrate on producing good value cooking from small batches of locally sourced produce. Dishes might appear simple at first, but there's impressive depth of flavour and some playful elements hidden within. The cheeseboard with homemade crackers and English truffle honey is a must, and there are some interesting wines available by the glass." | White Swan at Fence Photo: White Swan at Fence
26. Ye Horns Inn - Preston, Lancashire
📍Horns Lane, Goosnargh PR3 2FJ. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "There’s a snug bar, a comfy lounge and a stylish vaulted dining space with an inglenook fireplace at this lovingly restored pub, parts of which date back to the 17C. They keep the menu short and seasonal, offering eye-catching, modern, ingredient-led dishes alongside local ales and an extensive list of sensibly priced wines. Personable service completes the picture." | LEP staff Photo: LEP staff
