Olive Branch

Run by the same company that owns the Beech House and Red Lion Inn, this oh-so-British country pub blends authentic Brit pub fare and ale with a matching atmosphere; it was named “Michelin Pub of the Year in 2008”, and the restaurant has maintained one Michelin star since 2002. Inside, diners are surrounded by a decidedly “un-Michelin” vibe with blackboards, books, and wood tables, but that’s no means to judge the fare by, which ranges from tapas-for-two to staples like fish and chips or the wilder roast wild sea bass fillet with mussels and shrimp.
