Stockport restaurant recognised with new ‘Green’ Michelin Star
This is amazing.
Where The Light Gets In has been given a ‘green’ Michelin star, the only recognise the region received this year.
The Stockport restaurant by Sam Buckley became one of 23 businesses in the UK and Ireland to receive the brand new accolade.
The new ‘green’ star celebrates sustainable gastronomy practises and recognises the restaurants who are leading the way in sustainability.
Where The Light Gets In has a daily-changing menu created with ingredients on hand each day from sustainably-sourced seafood to fruit, vegetables and herbs grown on the restaurants own farm.
Diners sit down to order the £65 menu with no idea what they will be easting until their food arrives.
Tucked away in an old coffee warehouse in Stockport, the 30-seat restaurant had already racked up a whole range of accolades as well as rave reviews from locals and national restaurant reviewers.
The virtual Michelin event hosted last night by Davina McCall saw the likes of L’Enclume in the Lake District, and Hypha in Chester receive the Green Star.
Greater Manchester’s only star belongs to Mana, the Ancoats-based restaurant that brought the first star to the region since 1977.
Where The Light Gets In opened the restaurant adapting their offering in lockdown to offer provisions each week. You can grab everything you need for a slap-up three-course meal complete with recipe cards for inspiration on what to make.
There are also breads and pastries made-in house by baker Rosie Wilkes plus a wine cellar complete with sommelier so you can be guided to the perfect wine for you.
