Le Talbooth were the proud recipients of 3 Rosettes from the AA Restaurant Services at the annual awards ceremony, held at Grosvenor House on Monday, 23rd September.
Much credit goes to the kitchen team led by head chef Andrew Hirst and senior sous chef Jamie Jackson – as well as their brigade of chefs – who have worked tirelessly to achieve the third rosette; also to the brilliant front of house team who look after the guests so ably.
Stas Anastasiades, Operations Director for Milsom Hotels & Restaurants, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award; naturally our customers come first and listening to them is key to our evolution. I couldn’t be more delighted that our fantastic team have been recognised by our industry’s most highly regarded and respected benchmarking organisation.
“It is fair to say that the process has been tough which makes it even more rewarding to achieve this prestigious award. To be awarded 3 Rosettes means the world to the whole team at Le Talbooth; this gives us the confidence to continue cooking with the very best local and British ingredients with love, lightness of touch and creativity.”
To add to Le Talbooth’s award, there was also great news for Maison Talbooth, which was awarded 4 Red stars at the ceremony. This accolade, also know as Inspectors’ Choice, is only given to the very best hotels in the UK.
Stas added: “We couldn’t be more delighted to recognised by the AA Hotels Services as a 4 AA Red Star hotel; to go through such a robust and thorough inspection process and to have delivered across the board gives us the confidence to believe that we heading in the right direction for the future.
“For the team and the board of directors it means recognition of continuous dedication, hard work and investment and to be positioned alongside so many other great 4 Red Star hotels is truly wonderful. We will continue with our approach of the warmest hospitality, aspirational design and traditional inn keeping with renewed confidence.”
