We are delighted to announce that six restaurants have joined the MICHELIN Green Star Community in the Great Britain & Ireland selection 2024, bringing the total number of members to 33.
The MICHELIN Green Star Community comprises restaurants at the forefront of the industry when it comes to their mindful practices – restaurants which offer dining experiences that combine culinary excellence with mindful initiatives aimed at reducing their overall impact on the natural world.
Those within the selection that impress the Inspectors the most are invited to form part of the MICHELIN Green Star Community, where they are encouraged to share their innovative and inspiring visions by fostering dialogue and collaborations that will help pursue progress and shape the future of gastronomy. These restaurants are a source of inspiration both for keen foodies and the hospitality industry as a whole.
Every Green Star Community restaurant is different and works in its own unique way – but all strive to make a difference to the world around them. Many work directly with growers, farmers and fishermen; forage in hedgerows and woodlands; grow plants and rear animals; and use regenerative methods such as no-dig vegetable gardens and successional cover crop growing. They also often address issues related to ethics and wellbeing, as well as contributing to local, national or global charitable and educational projects.
Read on to learn more about our five new member restaurants, as well as to discover the full Green Star Community for 2024.
ANNWN, Narberth
Wales and its landscape play a huge part in the dining experience at ANNWN. Dishes are designed specifically to show off seasonal Welsh produce, with the restaurant’s Green Star credentials really coming across in the cooking. Not only are local producers used for many ingredients, but the team also grow vegetables themselves – without harmful pesticides of course – and foraging forms a big part of their ethos too. Many elements of the dishes have been expertly sourced from the surrounding area, and they even run occasional foraging days where guests can learn how to master the art themselves.Discover more about ANNWN with our behind the scenes video.
Exmoor Forest Inn, Simonsbath
It may have all the rustic charm and character you would expect of its restored Victorian inn setting, but this is far from your typical pub. Not only is the cooking of high quality, but the team have such a focus on local, seasonal and organic produce that they’re one of the most sustainable pubs in the country. They run their own farm, from which the majority of their meat is sourced, and always treat the land with great respect. Local suppliers are then used for everything else, whether it be vegetables cultivated with the no-dig approach, seafood from the Devon day boats or Wicked Wolf Gin from just up the road.
Forge, Middleton Tyas
For the chefs at Forge, one advantage of being part of the environmentally conscious Middleton Lodge Estate is that they have a 2 acre walled garden at their disposal. It’s here that the gardeners work closely with the chefs to plant produce for the overtly seasonal menus. To make the most of these fresh, home-grown vegetables, there’s a comprehensive plant-based offering in addition to the main menu. Anything that doesn’t get used in season is saved by the team’s extensive preservation programme or composted down to be used to grow more of those wonderful ingredients. Single use plastic is, of course, outlawed.
Interlude, Lower Beeding
It’s quite an achievement to hold both a Michelin Star and be a member of the Michelin Green Star Community, but that’s exactly what the team at Interlude have achieved thanks to their continued efforts towards sustainable gastronomy. The restaurant sits within the 240 acre Leonardslee Gardens, from which a sizeable chunk of the kitchen’s produce is sourced – including honey from their seven beehives and sap from their birch trees. These ingredients are crafted into creative dishes on a singular, regularly changing menu, designed to reflect the estate and the seasons, as well as to reduce food waste. Vines have been planted too and an orchard is on the way next.
St. Barts, London
Not a lot of Green Star Community restaurants are located in big cities, but St. Barts shows just what can be achieved within the confines of the capital. The guiding principle is to waste as little as possible, primarily through curing, smoking and pickling quality British produce during spring and summer, which is then used throughout the lower production months. Similarly, the chefs take a nose-to-tail approach to produce, using the whole animal in their kitchens to ensure nothing is left over. The dining room itself is sustainable too, with furniture and tableware all made in the UK, often from reclaimed materials and naturally fallen trees.
The Whitebrook, Whitebrook
Another restaurant joining the illustrious club of those that hold a Michelin Star and are also part of the Michelin Green Star Community is this charming restaurant in a rural location. Its woodland setting is perfect for the mindful ethos, while the kitchen garden is at the core of their cooking. They use organic, no-dig methods to cultivate their vegetables, while adopting a companion planting system that encourages pollinating insects. Other ingredients come from like-minded local producers or are foraged from the surrounding woods, forests and estuary. The team have even planted an orchard that supports local birdlife.Below is the full list of restaurants who make up the Green Star Community in The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2024.
