Hartwell House Hotel, Restaurant & Spa Awarded 3 AA Rosettes

Hartwell House Hotel, Restaurant & Spa has been awarded 3 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence in the new AA Restaurant Guide 2005 – one of the highest accolades it is possible to receive.

The authoritive guide – published on the 14th October 2005 at a cost of £16.99 – features descriptions of the food on the offer at more than 1,800 restaurants throughout the British Isles, all selected and inspected by he AA

AA Chief Hotel and Restaurant Inspector, Peter Birnie says:

‘Less than 10% of restaurants in the British Isles area warded rosettes of three or more – these are the best in the industry and very worthy winners. Each is outstanding in its own way, and I pay tribute to the consistent excellence they achieve’.

AA Rosettes awards from one to five have become the UK Benchmark for food quality in restaurants, with leading chefs recognising the impartiality and authority of the accolades. Each year the results are listed in the updated AA Restaurant Guide, offering new descriptions and fresh assessments of quality. This process results in up to 500 establishments, either gaining inclusion or being omitted from each edition of the guide.
