Michelin launches latest pub food guide
On Friday the 2012 edition of the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide will appear on bookshop shelves and be available online, and pub food fans obtainin a copy will find more than 530 pubs covered in the new edition, including 86 new entries. The 2012 guide retails for £13.99 (€16.99 in Ireland).
“We can all feel justly proud of our pubs and the way they have adapted to changing times,” commented guide editor Editor Rebecca Burr. “The pubs in our guide offer great food, often at competitive prices, and our inspectors keep discovering more and more of them. These pubs make terrific use of local produce and often champion regional specialities – some have taken to keeping their own livestock out the back and even the lowly bar snack has been getting a makeover.
“All the elements that we feel make up a good pub are represented in our Pub of the Year, The Pipe and Glass Inn, in South Dalton. It’s personally run by James and Kate Mackenzie and their charming young team; they use local suppliers as well as produce from their own garden, the cooking is refined yet hearty and they never forget that theirs is a pub, not a restaurant.”
Each entry in the guide comes with an in-depth description, a colour photograph and information about the style of cooking on offer and the real ales served. The guide also highlights ‘Inspectors’ favourites’ which are those pubs that are extra special, because of their setting or character, the charming service or the exceptional quality of their cooking. Many of the pubs in the guide also offer accommodation and Michelin notes that the standard of accommodation offered has undergone “an enormous improvement” in general standards over the last few years and that pub bedrooms are often now a match for any hotel, in terms of their comfort and style. “Our pubs are now the jewels of the hospitality industry,” added Burr.
