We are not Michelin Inspectors but we agree with the rightful accolade of a Star for Lumiere plus the Green Star. Not easy standards to maintain, however the ethos of Jon and Helen is so strong that this is naturally part and parcel of what they consistently deliver. A close relationship with suppliers ensures the freshest and most seasonal food appears on each plate alongside heritage and unusual produce picked that morning from their own smallholding.

If we were Inspectors we should not take service into account as we assess an award, happily we are not as the warm welcome and professional service is integral to the Lumiere experience. Greeted like old friends and feasted like kings our lunch was once again delicious. From the miniature works of art served with the aperitif to the dark chocolate velvet-like conclusion. A treat for all the senses.

A toast to Lumiere resounded and the entire team joined us- all 5- all stars indeed. We will return and so should you!
