Michelin Guide 2022: No new stars for Yorkshire but seven restaurants retain theirs and new openings praised

The Michelin Guide 2022 was published today and there was disapponting news for Yorkshire, with no new stars awarded to restaurants in the region.

However, seven restaurants have retained theirs: Tommy Banks' ventures The Black Swan at Oldstead and Roots in York; The Pipe and Glass at South Dalton, near Beverley (chef James Mackenzie); The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds (chef Michael O'Hare); The Angel at Hetton (chef Michael Wignall); Grantley Hall near Ripon (chef Shaun Rankin) and The Star Inn at Harome (chef Andrew Pern).

The Star is expected to be closed for almost a year after a fire ravaged the thatched inn last autumn, yet its inclusion in the Guide is a gesture of solidarity from Michelin and the gastronomic community.

Pern's other businesses, Star Inn the City in York and Star Inn the Harbour in Whitby, appear in the general section of the Guide.

The awarding of Bib Gourmands - the accolade below one star - was also disappointing, with no new Bibs announced and only three Yorkshire dining destinations still holding them; Skosh in York, Prashad in Drighlington and the Hope and Anchor at South Ferriby.

In the Guide's general recommendations, around 50 Yorkshire entries are included this year, including new openings from 2021 such as Bantam in Helmsley and Homestead Kitchen in Goathland. Leeds chef Elizabeth Cottam's restaurant HOME and Boston Spa bakehouse CORA are both included, the latter for the first time, but her Kirkgate Market venture The Owl, which has appeared previously and counts Guardian food critic Grace Dent among its fans, has been omitted. The restaurant is currently trading from the old HOME premises ahead of a further relocation this year.

Tharavadu in Leeds no longer features in the Guide and former Michelin Plate holder Matt Healy, whose restaurant The Foundry x closed in 2020, has yet to win inclusion for his new venture, The Forde in Horsforth.

Also dropped is Vennell's in Masham, which featured in the Guide for 14 consecutive years but is now up for sale following the retirement of its long-serving owners.

The Burlington at Bolton Abbey, praised for its lockdown takeaway service in 2021, has not returned this year, nor have The Dining Room at Boroughbridge, Grassington House, The Crown and Cushion at Welburn or Hull's only recent entry, Tapasya at Hull Marina.

A visit by a nationally renowned food critic also seems not to guarantee influencing the Michelin writers. Three of Guardian reviewer Jay Rayner's recent Yorkshire favourites - Waterside Bistro in Shipley, Brook's in Brighouse and Wen's in Leeds - have yet to be included. The Swine That Dines in Leeds, which Marina O'Loughlin from The Times intended to review before finding it closed, also does not feature.

Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Hull, Scarborough and Doncaster are not represented in the Guide at all.
