Some of the country’s top hotels are celebrating after being awarded new AA Restaurant Guide 2016 Red Stars at the AA Hospitality Awards.  

The AA has been rating and recommending hotels for over 100 years and each year it selects the best hotels in each rating. These selected Inspectors’ Choice hotels stand out as the very best in the British Isles, regardless of style, and are identified by Red Stars.

The award event also sees the launch of the 2016 AA Restaurant Guide to UK hotels, restaurants, pubs and B&Bs which contain details of all the winning establishments.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
