A Big Fish in a Global Pond

As the National Restaurant Awards approach, the categories have started to be announced; as last week the Estrella Damm Sustainability Awards shortlists were declared open. Meanwhile, a tiny village in Somerset sits named alongside the likes of Singapore and Sao Paulo in a prestigious list of restaurants and a high profile Lancashire chef makes headlines once more.

Osip

 

A fine dining restaurant in rural, south west England has made it on to Conde Nast’s Best New Restaurants in the World.

 

Osip, in Bruton, is headed up by Chef Patron Merlin Labron-Johnson and has already won 1 Michelin Star for their tasting menus inspired by the seasons, homegrown produce and driven by a farm to table ethos.

The list features the 50 best new restaurants across the globe and features sites from locations as far flung as Sydney, Paris and La Paz.

 

Osip makes the list after it reopened in a larger site last year, where it has kept the levels of exceptional cuisine and excitement up in equal measure; as diners from all over the world make a special journey to join them.

You can see the whole list and who joins Osip on the list here.

Lisa Goodwin-Allen

 

After the great news about Lisa Goodwin-Allen returning to Northcote as Chef-Patron Director hit the headlines, there was a further update that the renowned chef is to join Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair as Culinary Director.

 

The Lancaster born Michelin Star chef will join executive chef Brendan Fyldes in the overhaul of the culinary aspect of the 5 Star London property.

 

This will include a new flagship restaurant, Rosi, which promises – under Goodwin-Allen’s keen eye – to be just as special as Northcote where she has spent more than 20 years of her career.

Estrella Damm Sustainability Awards

 

Restaurant Online have published an article about the opening of entries into the Estrella Damm Sustainability Awards 2025.

National Restaurant Awards

The prestigious prize is part of the National Restaurant Awards that will be taking place in London next month.

 

The award celebrates restaurants dedicated to sustainability and ethics with regards to the sourcing of ingredients while still providing exceptional food and service. Past winners have included Stockport’s 4AA Rosettes awarded Where The Light Gets In and Michelin Star Pensons in Worcestershire.

 

Entries can be made following this link if you own a restaurant or know of a restaurant that deserves to be recognised.
