On gaining a fourth rosette Aiden Byrne from Manchester House took to Twitter and said: "A great start to the year. Well done to the team MCRHouse on achieving 4 AA rosettes."

On the three Rosette list were: A Wong, London SW1 Avista, London W1 Cambium, Careys Manor, Brockenhurst, Hampshire The Dial House, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire The Gannet, Glasgow The Hare Inn, Scawton, Yorkshire Lake Road Kitchen, Ambleside, Cumbria Lumiere, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Orrery, London W1 Portland, London W1W Tassili, Grand Jersey, St Helier, Jersey

Simon Numphud, Head of AA Hotel Services, said: "The restaurants receiving the multi rosette awards should be duly proud of their achievements.   The four rosettes restaurants can now classify themselves as among the top restaurants in the country where cooking demands national recognition. Those with three rosettes are outstanding restaurants that demand recognition well beyond their local area offering sympathetic treatment of the highest quality ingredients with consistent timing, seasoning and judgement of flavour.  Around just ten percent of the restaurants in our guide have three rosettes."
