Widely loved and highly acclaimed North West restaurant Moor Hall has this evening (February 9) retained its three Michelin stars, awarded at the 2026 Michelin Guide ceremony in Dublin. Located just 50 minutes from Manchester, Moor Hall in Aughton, West Lancashire, was also voted best restaurant in the UK in December.
At the ceremony, chef Mark Birchall said: “It’s been incredible. But I do want to say, the feeling of standing here with these chefs, and this room, it’s incredible. I think the UK probably has one of the strongest dining scenes in the world. It’s so unique, so diverse. And it’s exciting, it’s really exciting. But this last year has been amazing.”
