June: The Inspectors' Latest Additions to The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland

Find your new favourite restaurant with all of the Inspectors' recent additions to The MICHELIN Guide.

The MICHELIN Guide Inspectors are always on the road, assessing existing restaurants as well as uncovering new ones worthy of recommendation. While Stars, Green Stars and Bib Gourmands are only revealed at the annual MICHELIN Guide Ceremony, the Inspectors add restaurants to the selection year round. These latest additions are released on a monthly basis and are highlighted by a 'New' symbol; you can find them here on The MICHELIN Guide's website and on the free app. Bookmark this page and check back monthly for the latest live additions!


June 2025

A dozen restaurants have joined The MICHELIN Guide this month, further strengthening the countries’ superb dining scenes. In the midst of a heatwave, it’s particularly heartening to see a trio of coastal restaurants added to the selection, one way out west in Wales and two on the English south coast. Elsewhere, London’s global tapestry has gained more Japanese and Italian flavours, and our Inspectors have uncovered two more terrific gastropubs. Read on for all their latest recommendations.

Good things come in small packages, they say – and that’s certainly true of this six-table restaurant tucked away in the Welsh countryside. It’s actually a small package inside a bigger package, specifically the brilliantly named Wolfscastle Country Hotel, which is known as a wedding venue but should also be known for this lovely little eatery. Its menu has a proudly Welsh heart, with ingredients from the local area shown off by the chefs’ evident skill. The charming service team will no doubt enhance your visit.

Edinburgh’s chefs really are spoiling the good residents of Stockbridge. In a neighbourhood already home to a range of brilliant restaurants – including MICHELIN-Starred AVERY and Bib Gourmand Skua – Moss has added to the thriving food scene. The hook here is the team’s unerring commitment to using the best local produce. Everything you see on the menu is sourced from Scotland, while even the drinks are completely British, with a concise wine selection focussing on English growers.

This is exactly the time of year that you need a restaurant like The Union Rye. The lovely coastal town of Rye, a very short drive from the sea, is a prime location to be spending the sunny days that have recently been taking the British public by surprise. And on days like that, you need a good mid-activity lunch or a restorative dinner. The Union Rye can provide both with aplomb, thanks to its clean, distinct flavours in dishes that happily borrow from cuisines around the globe – expect to see words like ‘dukkah’, ‘nduja’ and ‘char siu’ sitting side by side.

Rusticity and minimalism are all well and good, but sometimes eating out just feels like more of an event when the restaurant is as pretty as Dear Jackie. Housed inside the colourfully stylish Broadwick Soho hotel, the basement restaurant adopts the same kind of plush maximalism, with deep red hues, old-school table lamps and eye-catching prints galore. The cooking delivers on the surroundings’ promise, with Italian-inspired dishes that are equally attractive yet no case of style over substance, with top ingredients and a skilled hand in the kitchen.

“Instead of bringing the farm to the table, we’ve brought your table to the farm,” reads the mission statement for Farm Caff. This planet-driven ethos is clear to see when dining here, in a converted barn within the team’s regenerative farm. The affable team enthuse about their produce, with many of the ingredients having come from the still-expanding farm. Those ingredients are used to lip-smackingly delicious effect across dishes that show both the kitchen’s generosity and skill. Finish with the delightfully decadent clotted cream cheesecake.

Skilfully avoiding the pitfall of confusing complication for quality, this smartly refurbished but pleasingly grounded Ribble Valley pub serves up dishes with a welcome traditional base. Fine ingredients are cooked in a way that delivers maximum flavour, in dishes like ox cheek, mushroom and onion suet pudding. The chefs still show their ambitious side with the tasting menu, while the Sunday lunch choices offers greater variety than most pubs, with intriguing options such as curried goat pie and partridge Wellington alongside the classics.

If you happen to live on or around Chandos Road in the Redland area of Bristol, then all we can say is: congratulations. In yet more great news for the local dining scene – which is already having quite the year after Wilsons won a MICHELIN Star and its next-door neighbour Little Hollows Pasta was awarded a Bib Gourmand – the terrific Korean eatery Dongnae has now been added to our selection. Authentic, complex and bursting at the seams with exuberant flavours, the cooking is well worth adding to your Bristol to-do list.

Another neighbourhood going from strength to strength is Cardiff’s Pontcanna, already home to Thomas, Heaneys and newly MICHELIN-Starred Gorse. Joining them now – with Tommy Heaney as co-owner – is this wonderfully fresh-feeling spot with airy, uncluttered décor and cooking to match. There’s more than a touch of the Italian to the menu – not just in the presence of several pasta dishes, but in the overall ethos of ‘less is more’. The chefs put their faith in the quality of their produce and it duly delivers.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High, London

Modern Cuisine

The name is a pretty apt descriptor of what you can expect here: the signature top-quality cooking and luxury produce of the world-famous chef, but very, very high up. Part of Ramsay’s development inside 22 Bishopsgate, London’s second-tallest building, this is a chef’s counter experience with a twist – where the 12 diners face the stunning view from the 60th floor, rather than the chefs. The surprise menu is packed with high-end ingredients, all cooked with a delicate touch by a highly capable team.
