Dear Reader,
|
|
Does Michelin do it for you? It certainly is the
most highly-regarded accolade that a restaurant can get – especially
when they nab three (there are only 146 restaurants worldwide to boast
the triple – and nine in the UK). Not content though with spreading
stardust among eateries, Michelin is going further with the launch of
Keys – a new awards system for hotels. So which of our UK and Irish hotels grabbed a set or two (or three)? An impressive 123
establishments: 72 gaining one, 37 two, and 14 a much-vaunted three. It’s no surprise that these included London
stalwarts like Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Savoy, together with rural hotspots like
Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux
Quat’Saisons and Lucknam
Park (both favourites of mine). Further from London, it was Scotland’s
Gleneagles and Adare Manor in the Republic of Ireland to top the charts.
Congratulations all round, but I wonder if they’ll also introduce their
green star system for hotels too… I hope so.

Michael
Gove – The New Spectator Editor
|
|
The only time I met Michael Gove was in a tapas
restaurant in South Ken. I was three sheets to the wind, and I spied him
across the room and stomped over. It was the night before Liz Truss
resigned and I almost cried on him over his calamari about the pain and
suffering the Conservatives were subjecting us to. He assured me it
wouldn't last much longer. He was right (at least about her), of course.
His reputation for ruthless decapitations continues as he’s announced as
the new editor of The Spectator magazine.
Farewell, Fraser…
