The AA Restaurant Guide 2016 has today announced the latest restaurants to receive three and four Rosettes.

And just one restaurant has been awarded the prestigious four Rosettes - The Burlington Restaurant at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel and Spa, Bolton Abbey.

The Burlington Restaurant is also one of five restaurants in Yorkshire to be awarded a Michelin star and head chef, Adam Smith, says: "My food philosophy is based around sourcing the best ingredients possible, utilising the Yorkshire larder when at its best or further afield when necessary.  Treating ingredients in manner that allows them to shine, combining classical flavours and methods with my own techniques and presentation style."  

Of the 22 establishments receiving Rosettes, 11 are in London and three are in Scotland. Simon Numphud, Head of AA Hotel Services, said: “We are delighted to recognise our latest collection of restaurants that have moved into the top 10% of the AA Rosette Scheme. These awards reflect the growing strength and depth of top quality restaurants across the UK and in particular the numerous impressive London openings over the last eighteen months”.
