The latest Michelin Guide has been released, with one Kent restaurant losing a star and another earning a Bib Gourmand.
A total of 1,210 venues, including 230 Michelin-starred ones, are included in this year’s list, which was announced at a ceremony in Dublin on Monday evening.
It was a great night for Shwen Shwen in Sevenoaks, which was described as “one of the year’s biggest triumphs”.
It has earned a Bib Gourmand - a symbol for restaurants “that offer good food at a great price”.
Michelin praised self-taught chef Maria Bradford’s “generous, visually sumptuous and wholly satisfying dishes inspired by her Sierra Leonean heritage”.
She also won the prestigious Michelin Opening of the Year Award.
