confirmed as Gidleigh Park’s new Executive Head Chef
Alistair Sandall, Commercial Manager at AA Hotel Services said: “While the awarding of new five rosettes is usually included in our main Hospitality Awards in September we all felt that we could not delay this award until then. Michael Wignall has transferred his exquisite skills and style to Gidleigh Park and has made this undoubtedly worthy of this accolade.”
The restaurants awarded new four AA Rosettes are:
Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond, Balloch
Morston Hall, Blakeney, Norfolk
Typing Room, London E2
The new three AA Rosettes restaurants are
AG's Restaurant at Alexander House Hotel, Turners Hill, Crawley
Anglo, London EC1
Boringdon Hall Hotel (Gallery Restaurant), Plymouth

The Olive Room, Ilfracombe

Restaurants awarded three AA Rosettes are all outstanding restaurants that achieve standards that demand national recognition well beyond their local area while those achieving four AA Rosettes are among the top restaurants in the country. To achieve five AA Rosettes, the restaurants are the pinnacle of the nation’s restaurants where the cooking compares with the best in the world and exhibit breath taking culinary skills and set the standards to which other aspire to and yet few achieve.
